Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Flight Software at Espace — Saratoga, USA | Base Career

Full Job Posting

Core Development

Embedded Software Development : Architect/Design, write, debug, and maintain efficient software for real-time embedded systems, including mission critical Flight Software and communication with other space-specific software subsystems/modules, such as TTC (CCSDS protocol), Power, Thermal, GNC, FDIR, CFDP.
Communication Protocols and Specifications : Implement protocols used in space-grade software such as UART, CAN, SpaceWire, SPI, I2C, and Ethernet.

Experience

with Linux bridging, DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture), and L2 protocols such as RSTP/MSTP, HSR, or FRER for redundant network fabrics is highly valued

Networking and Avionics Fabrics : Design and implement L2 Ethernet networks for inter-board communication on spacecraft, including switch bring up, PHY configuration, and topology design. Configure and debug L2 redundancy protocols (RSTP, HSR, FRER) for fault-tolerant fabrics. Implement deterministic networking using TSN features where mission profiles require bounded latency.
Application Integration : Integrate and manage provided applications on top of the customized platform software. Design and bring up Ethernet-based avionics networks, including PHY/MAC initialization, switch configuration, and L2 redundancy protocols.
Operational Management : Design and implement efficient memory management, process management, software updates, reprogramming and power saving modes for embedded systems.

Experience

with multi-board Ethernet fabrics (mesh, ring, or tree topologies) for inter-subsystem communication is a plus.

Testing and Support

Test Framework Development : Create and maintain automated testing frameworks for embedded systems, including HIL, SIL, PIL.
Support : Provide support for debugging of real-time and critical faults.
Debugging and Validation : Use tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers to test and debug embedded software and hardware interfaces.

with Yocto is a big plus .

Communication Protocols : Knowledge of key hardware and software protocols such as UART, CAN, SPI, I2C.

TCP and UDP.

Upgrades : Experience with secure firmware updates and reprogramming mechanisms.

Debugging Tools : Proficiency with debugging tools like JTAG, GDB, and serial debuggers.

Version Control : Expertise with Git or similar version control systems.

Hands-on : Proven record of designing and developing significant working software in aerospace applications.
Programming Languages : Proficiency in C/C++ and scripting languages like Shell or Bash; familiarity with Python.
Embedded Systems : Experience with embedded and multicore platforms and their toolchains.
