• Design implement and test embedded systems for propulsion and electromechanical systems.
• Engineer real-time control systems for motors actuators and propulsion subsystems.
• Integrate embedded systems with sensors control electronics and hardware platforms.
• Create firmware solutions deployed in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) System on Chip (SOC) and Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs).
• Generate firmware documentation that describes the firmware architecture
• Participate in lab-based testing debugging and prototype bring-up.
• Collaborate with mechanical electrical and systems engineers to refine designs.
• Support demonstrations and experimental prototypes for customers.
• Collaborate with hardware suppliers and engineering tool providers to identify and select solutions for challenging industrial and defense applications.
• Contribute to technical documentation system integration and design reviews.

Education & Experience Requirements:

• Masters degree in computer science Electrical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or related disciplines with a minimum of ten years of industry experience bachelors degree in computer science Electrical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or related disciplines with a minimum of 15 years of industry experience may be substituted as an equivalent.
