Job Summary:
The PCAS department is seeking an embedded firmware engineer for algorithm development and implementation in a variety of electromechanical control assemblies. The individual will help design, implement and verify motor control embedded firmware designs for current and future Control Actuation Systems. They will implement digital control algorithms in C/C++ in conjunction with the Controls and Algorithms team. Additionally, they will interact with mechanical and electrical design engineers and vendors to optimize hardware designs. Finally, they will have the opportunity to perform hands-on hardware and firmware integration and verification testing in a laboratory environment. The position requires a solid understanding of C/C++ development, experience with MATLAB/Simulink and the ability to work with electrical and mechanical hardware.
Qualifications You Must Have:
• Education: B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Math or related science degree
• A minimum of (6 years of experience in embedded firmware design, development and verification.
• Strong fundamentals with C/C++ development on embedded hardware platforms.
• Basic proficiency with model development and data analysis in MATLAB/Simulink
• Ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance prior to the start date. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
Qualifications We Value:
• Experience of developing firmware or software for safety significant environments including requirements development and traceability, design decomposition and documentation, static code analysis, design to safety critical coding standards such as MISRA-C, test case development, code coverage including modified decision/code coverage (MC/DC), code coverage analysis and formal qualification testing.
• A working understanding of configurable logic (FPGA firmware) and VHDL.
• Experience implementing digital control algorithms in hardware including embedded microcontrollers, digital signal processors, FPGAs and a working understanding of serial communication interfaces, analog to digital converters, and PWM generators.
• Experience working with and integrating hardware.
• Basic understanding of field-oriented control techniques and experience with various PWM schemes such as space vector modulation.
• Basic understanding of modeling and controls of electric motors and solid background in PMSM motor fundamentals
• Digital and analog signal electronics design, development and verification.
• Systems engineering design and development or have experience working in a disciplined, controlled manner, fully documenting work; extensively commenting code, test benches and test software.
• Use of software/firmware configuration management tools such as GIT, Subversion or similar tools
• Strong verbal and written communication and ability to work hands-on in teams.
What We Offer:
Whether you’re just starting out on your career journey or are an experienced professional, we offer a robust total rewards package that goes above and beyond with compensation; healthcare, wellness, retirement, and work/life benefits; career development and recognition programs. Some of the superior benefits we offer include parental (including paternal) leave, flexible work schedules, achievement awards, educational assistance and child/adult backup care.
Clearance Information:
This position requires the eligibility to obtain a security clearance. The Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO), an agency of the Department of Defense, handles and adjudicates the security clearance process.
