Senior Embedded Firmware / Software Engineer

Senior Embedded Firmware / Software Engineer

V2X seeks a Senior Embedded Firmware / Software Engineer to support development efforts across multiple programs, contributing to the design, integration, and deployment of embedded solutions in highly dynamic environments. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of embedded systems, architecture bring-up, and hardware / software co-design for ARM-based platforms.

Daily responsibilities include authoring firmware and embedded code using C / C++ across a range of mission-critical applications, including serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and video DSP pipelines, controls, data links, and embedded compute. The role involves significant engagement with hardware designincluding PCB construction, layout validation, and interface timing analysispaired with system simulation and algorithm refinement. High-quality documentation and configuration management are critical to ensuring traceability and compliance within a fast-paced, team-centric technical environment.

The role also emphasizes low-level networking and processor communication, requiring candidates to orchestrate multi-chip bring-up across serial buses and Ethernet interfaces. The engineer will be responsible for enabling cohesive subsystem interaction and ensuring data path integrity across distributed architectures.

The successful candidate demonstrates sound engineering judgment, initiative, and adaptability while applying contemporary tools and standards to resolve moderate technical challenges. Comfort operating within multi-disciplinary Agile teams is essential, as is the ability to collaborate effectively, communicate across stakeholder groups, and contribute to scalable, auditable product builds.

Routine collaboration will occur via MS Teams, OneNote, Azure DevOps, Excel, and other productivity tools within the Microsoft Office Suite.
