Firmware Engineer – Embedded Controls Sensors

The Opportunity:
As a Firmware Engineer youll design modify and debug low-level software running on embedded processors and microcontrollers. Youll work closely with electrical mechanical software and systems engineers to integrate sensors actuators imaging systems and control hardware. The role requires hands-on experience understanding existing firmware developing new functionality and solving problems that cross the hardware/firmware boundary.

Responsibilities:
Develop and modify embedded firmware for advanced hardware systems supporting critical national security missions. Youll work directly with devices such as gimbals optics motors sensors and other embedded subsystems to implement new capabilities integrate hardware and troubleshoot complex system behavior.

Qualifications:

• Active TS/SCI security clearance

• Experience developing or modifying embedded firmware in C/C or similar low-level languages.

• Experience with microcontrollers embedded processors or SoCs and associated peripherals.

• Experience interfacing with hardware using SPI I2C UART CAN PWM ADC/DAC or similar interfaces.

• Experience developing firmware for motors actuators sensors optics gimbals or other electromechanical systems.

• Strong understanding of real-time embedded systems interrupts timers memory management and hardware interfaces.

• Experience debugging firmware and hardware using oscilloscopes logic analyzers debuggers and other laboratory equipment.

• Ability to read schematics datasheets interface control documents and existing firmware to understand and modify embedded systems.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience developing firmware for gimbals motor controllers camera systems electro-optical systems or stabilized payloads.

• Experience with motor control encoders PID/control loops position control or stabilization systems.

• Experience integrating IMUs cameras environmental sensors GNSS receivers or other sensor systems.

• Experience with embedded Linux RTOS environments or bare-metal development.

• Familiarity with STM32 NXP TI Microchip or similar embedded platforms.

• Experience reverse engineering modifying or extending existing or undocumented firmware.

• Familiarity with bootloaders firmware update mechanisms device drivers and low-level communications protocols.

• Experience supporting UAS robotics autonomous systems imaging systems or other embedded platforms.

• Experience rapidly prototyping and testing firmware against physical hardware.
