• Validate operating systems, middleware, applications, and device drivers across Linux, Windows, and VxWorks
• Develop test software to verify system functionality, performance, and integration
• Diagnose and resolve customer software issues related to system bring-up and applicationintegration
• Collaborate with hardware, FPGA, and systems engineers when low-level investigation isrequired
• Participate in customer support calls and technical discussions, progressing to direct customer engagement as experience grows
What do I need to bring with me?
Essential knowledge & experience:
A methodical, process-driven engineer with strong problem-solving skills who is comfortable
working across software, FPGA based systems, and embedded hardware platforms. The ability to communicate effectively with customers and internal engineering teams is essential.
Open to entry level engineering graduate, with a good understanding of the areas below:
• Engineering degree or equivalent practical experience
• Experience with Embedded Linux on x86 platforms
• Proficiency in C for embedded and low-level software development (register-level interaction)
• Strong debugging and system-level problem-solving skills
Desirable:
• Experience integrating software with FPGA-based subsystems
• Experience working with Linux kernels and possibly device drivers
• Exposure to VPX, OpenVPX, or SOSA-aligned architectures
• Knowledge of networking configuration and constraints
• Some experience supporting customers fielded systems in regulated environments
