Embedded Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Architect and develop deterministic, safety-critical control software on Linux-based real-time operating systems (e.g., PREEMPT_RT), including scheduling, timing, and fault-tolerant control logic.
• Build and maintain industrial fieldbus masters and stacks (e.g., EtherCAT, CAN/CANopen, EtherNet/IP) for hard real-time, high-rate closed-loop control of distributed actuators, drives, and I/O.
• Write drivers and interfaces for scientific instrumentation, sensors, and data acquisition hardware for high-speed, kHz-class acquisition across low-level protocols and buses (e.g., SPI, I2C, serial, USB, PCIe, Ethernet).
• Own software from development through deployment by building automated build, test, and validation infrastructure.
• Perform safety analyses and validate control logic to ensure deterministic behavior and functional safety under both normal and fault conditions.
• Work closely with hardware, electrical, and controls engineering teams to bring up new systems and integrate firmware with hardware.
• Lead debugging, root cause analysis, and reliability improvements across the full software-to-hardware stack, using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other laboratory instrumentation.
• Contribute to integrated system testing, commissioning, and continuous improvement of embedded software running on production equipment
