Description:
A Firmware Engineer will design, modify, and evaluate embedded software, and/or programmable logic and/or electronic apparatus, components, or circuitry for use in electronic equipment and devices. You will perform engineering work in basic and applied research, development, and/or design of new products and/or sustaining of existing products. Future possibilities may include electrical design and FPGA work if there is talent and interest.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Participates in all phases of the Firmware development life cycle, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, integration, and test of all products.
- Responsible for research, design, and development of computer software systems, in conjunction with hardware product development.
- Applies computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis concepts and principles in the development of software for the target application.
- Demonstrates and applies comprehensive knowledge of power electronics and controls design to the successful completion of complex projects
- Works closely with cross functional members of the engineering organization to develop and evaluate interfaces between hardware and software, and operational performance requirements and design of the overall system.
- Develop software test procedures, software programs, and related documentation.
- Contributes to determining, estimating, and validating the cost and scope of software efforts to ensure software performed meets program cost, schedule, and technical constraints.
- Develop C++ Applications on embedded Systems including FPGAs and SOCs.
- Implement assigned projects and project tasks to provide software engineering solutions including software design, documentation, verification and validation, used in evaluating, testing and processing high fidelity data acquisition systems.
- Implement advanced software development techniques in compliance with technical reference architecture
- Participate in on-going code reviews to improve software stability and maintainability of an aging code base
- Perform technical review, design analysis, development and selection of hardware and mission critical computer software.
WORK ENVIRONMENT:
- Location: Wilmington, MA; Some domestic and international travel may be required
- Environment: Standard office environment, possible interaction through a production factory environment; uses electronic equipment and can work with high voltage
