Job Title : Embedded Software Engineer (Onsite)

Location : Lexington, MA

Job Type : W2 Contract

Background / Need :

The Group is focused on the synthesis of dynamic and complex control and autonomous systems, from concept to realization, for a wide variety of prototypes. Prototype applications span various mission areas, such as space control; air, missile and maritime defense; communication and tactical systems; homeland protection; and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. The group has expertise in dynamic stabilization and platform control; advanced autonomy; pointing, acquisition, and tracking; guidance; navigation and estimation; robotics; mapping; intra- and inter-system planning (e.g., swarming);demanding real-time embedded software and firmware control; image processing; machine learning; human-machine interaction; space-qualified electronics; and analog and power electronics. Applied research and development projects include space optical payloads, small satellites, airborne laser radars and imaging systems, and autonomous air, ground, and maritime systems.

Responsibilities :

Responsibilities involve working closely with a small team to define the software architecture and requirements based on high-level system requirements and the entire design, implementation, and test of the real-time software running in and controlling the hardware.

Must Have :

Architecting, benchmarking, designing, and programming software for physical control in C or C++ programming language for a hard real-time (time-deterministic, interrupt-driven, task-based, multi-threaded) environment using an RTOS such as real-time Linux, VxWorks, or Xenomai.
Experience developing in Linux environments.
Integration and testing in a laboratory setting of all of the above.
Scripting in Python or Matlab for the purpose of electronic testing and data analysis.
