Seakeeper Inc
Senior Embedded Software Development Engineer
Seakeeper Inc, North Fort Myers, Florida, United States, 33903
WHAT YOU'LL DO
As our Senior Embedded Software Development Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in developing, testing, and deploying Seakeeper-custom operating system ports, hardware abstraction layers, device drivers, and software development tools. You'll support multiple business segments that share a common code architecture for embedded targets. In short, the embedded software ecosystem which enables the most computationally sophisticated portions of our most visible products.You'll be our go-to technical resource for any and all questions related to our embedded libraries, and their implementation in hardware/systems, owning processes and software features from cradle to grave.You'll make an immediate impact developing and maintaining our products by:
Analyzing diverse data collected during component and system testing in MATLAB and Simulink and making data-driven conclusions or inferences, to suggest next steps and go-to-market plansContributing to the verification and validation and software release processes for production embedded devices and internally maintained toolsAssuming stewardship of our repository of code, In Git, along with other senior team membersApplying best practices for repository curation and code quality in a variety of languagesLeading efforts to implement features under architectural guidanceInteracting with and gathering requirements linked to requests Incoming from other teams using our librariesHaving ownership of some features or processes related to our existing codebase, and future code effortsParticipating in code reviews as a reviewer in some cases, and contributing to software development on:Real-time embedded environments utilizing freeRTOSSPI, I2C, and CAN communication protocol stacksSmart peripheral (e.g., off-microcontroller sensors and EEPROM chips) driversApplication-layer software in support of Seakeeper Ride's MATLAB Simulink code generation blocksetConstructing algorithms and maintaining the tools used to generate C/C++ code from SimulinkOccasionally physically troubleshooting or developing/debugging code In-system where bench or offline testing falls shortUnderstanding the interactions of existing application and driver software libraries, to create system-oriented solutionsDeveloping and summarizing software requirements from end-user feedback or observational data
WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED
Do you have a positive attitude, an eagerness to learn, and the ability to hustle in a fast-paced environment? Then Seakeeper is the place for you! Here are a few other things you'll need to succeed.
MUST-HAVESBachelor's or advanced degree in computer science or electrical engineeringAt least 7 years post college work experience in the following:C, C++, and MATLAB programming languagesSupport testing, use, and development of a Simulink toolsetExperience bringing at least one product/device from conception into productionKnowledge of scripting languages and proficiency in applying them for complex data analysisTroubleshooting test hardware behavior using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multi-metersExperience mentoring more junior team membersKnowledge of embedded system parameter calibration protocolsFundamental knowledge of communications protocols such as CAN, UART, I2C, and SPIBe comfortable refactoring existing code under architectural guidance from senior team membersCapable of thinking systematically and documenting processes, procedures, and test resultsThrive in a collaborative team environment, but also be effective working independentlyWilling to travel 25 - 50% of the time for testing and software releasesFor internal Seakeeper employees:
Must be a level III or Senior I Controls, Embedded Software, or Systems Engineer and meet the minimum must-haves outlined above
MORE DETAILS YOU'LL WANT TO KNOWThis role will be located onsite In Ft. Myers Florida 10 days a monthTravel to our Seakeeper facilities in PA/NJ will be every other week (up to 50%) during peak development phases and will diminish in time with project activity at that locationTravel to and from facilities will be funded by SeakeeperThis role reports to our Director of Embedded & Software Engineering, based remotely
YOUR TEAM
Our Embedded Software Engineering team is the bedrock of our controls system development efforts nestled within our Seakeeper Ride Product Engineering department. It is a dynamic, nimble, high-profile group tasked with leveraging, obtaining, and owning the diverse technical expertise and capabilities required to fulfill critical, foundational product development functions. It is a flat team, managing projects through an Agile workflow that allows maximum exposure to a variety of projects and systems within the group. The team is a short list of experts from mobile embedded systems disciplines whose experiences span from powertrain and drivetrain electronic control unit design to custom Linux-based user interface solutions. You'll be able to be involved in a myriad of projects and have opportunities for feature ownership and process ownership as time progresses.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE
It's true that we make extraordinary products, but our favorite part about Seakeeper is our people! We believe in participative leadership. That means you have the freedom to make a difference and contribute to the larger goal, regardless of your position. Great ideas can strike at any moment, and when you have one, you're empowered to speak up!
We are constantly pushing (or crushing) boundaries. Stagnant or bored are about as opposite from Seakeeper as you can get! We move quick and if there is something that can be improved upon, we jump on it.
WHO WE ARE
71% of our Earth is covered by water and we want everyone to make the most of it. That's why we are committed to creating products that transform the boating experience with an organization that employees want to work for, customers want to buy from, and vendors want to partner with. Seakeeper Ride, a Vessel Attitude Control System, eliminates underway pitch and roll, making time on the water safer and more comfortable for everyone on board.
Seakeeper was founded in 2008, growing from a start-up operation to the worldwide leader in stabilization thanks to its popular line of gyrostabilizers. Seakeeper Ride launched in 2022 and is the first product deviation from that line, bringing the magic of Seakeeper to boats while underway. There's a long runway of growth ahead as more and more OEMs adopt Seakeeper Ride as standard equipment and we work to make aftermarket refits a reality.
