Mission Summary

The Leonardo DRS Airborne and Intelligence Systems business delivers world-class defense and intelligence products, from air combat training to state-of-the-art electronic warfare systems. The Senior Embedded Software Engineer develops leading-edge embedded software by designing, developing, analyzing, documenting, and supporting testing of complex applications and subsystems for devices such as radio tuners.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, analyze, test and debug of computer software applications and/or systems mostly in a real-time embedded environment.
  • Work in a Linux development environment.
  • Customization and configuration of the Linux operating system for the target system.
  • Develop both in the kernel space (BSP, drivers, etc.) as well as user space application to interface with devices and FPGA registers and provide a socket-based user interface.
  • Provide regular reporting of progress and status including schedule input for design assignments as well as cost.
  • Document component and subsystem specifications including design documents, interface documents, test plans, etc.
  • Communicate clearly with manufacturing, program management, and other internal groups as required.
  • Participate heavily in preparation of complex proposals, including creating SOW, requirements, and BOE.
  • Provide technical expertise and assistance to other engineers and support personnel.
