Software Engineer - Embedded Systems
Kratos Defense, Austin, Texas, us, 78716
5-D Systems, a KRATOS Company, is a growing defense contractor headquartered in Round Rock, TX with over twenty years' experience providing systems and software engineering for Unmanned Aircraft Systems. With an ever-increasing government interest in unmanned aircraft and autonomous drone capability, we are fortunate to be experiencing a substantial backlog of projects. Currently, we are developing software for multiple unmanned, jet-powered aircraft programs that are still very early in their lifecycle.
5-D is seeking a highly motivated and dedicated individual for a software development position. The successful candidate can perform their duties as a member of a small team working in a collaborative setting. Potential tasking will be varied and may range from developing real-time software for avionics and other airborne, embedded systems to developing custom system-level test software for laboratory and flight-line environments. Candidates must have experience with developing embedded software using C++ and interfacing software with external hardware interfaces and peripherals.
Duties include, but are not limited to:
Developing software for new and existing systems for aircraft and aircraft test systemsIntegrating and testing software on aircraft and in virtual high-fidelity simulation environmentsDeveloping design documentation for internal and external useWorking in adherence to 5-D Systems software development processDeveloping software test plans and procedures to demonstrate compliance with system requirementsParticipating in planning, designing, testing, and deployment of moderately complex, engineered systems and software to ensure conformance with functional specifications and customer requirementsPeer reviewing fellow team members' workSupporting trade studies and performing design research and explorationsRequired:
A bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or other engineering degree with demonstrable experience in software developmentRelevant experience developing embedded applicationsProficient in developing software using object-oriented C++A U.S. DoD Secret Clearance or higher (or the ability to obtain such a clearance)Is self-directed, has sharp analytical abilities, excellent communication skills, and can work effectively in a dynamic environmentIs results-oriented and has a sense of ownership, urgency, and driveHas the ability to travelPreferred:
Experience working within the Defense industryExperience with safety-critical/mission-critical developmentApplication development for Linux-based embedded environmentsWindows-driver developmentModeling and simulation of systems using SimulinkTest and Measurement systems designSystems Engineering experience
