Canyon Aeroconnect, Prescott, Arizona, us, 86304
Firmware Engineer
Canyon AeroConnect is located in the historic heart of the American West, Prescott, Arizona. Surrounded by Arizona's natural beauty, we're just a short drive from the majestic Grand Canyon, the iconic red-rocks of Sedona and the exciting desert-metropolis of Phoenix.
Canyon AeroConnect stands as one of the world's leading suppliers of avionic-standard aircraft communications, navigation and audio/intercom systems. Canyon's products have been widely adopted and proven in-service across a wide range of civilian, paramilitary and military fixed-wing and rotorcraft applications. Over the years, we've become known as the benchmark in aircraft tactical communication and audio equipment for Air Ambulance, Law Enforcement, SAR, EMS, Electronic News Gathering, Military and Marine applications. Products include digital and analog radio/audio management systems, Tac/Com, VHF/UHF radio systems, intercoms, data interface accessories, and aural warning.
This position must meet Export Control compliance requirements, therefore a "US Person" as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15 is required. "US Person" includes US Citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee. In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.
General Description:
The successful candidate will be responsible for design, simulation, coding, and implementation of signal processing, control algorithms and general purpose I/O utilizing FPGA technology. This position will be part of a team developing a suite of commercial avionics communication and navigation equipment based on software defined radio methodologies
Position located in Prescott, AZ. Reports to the Hardware Engineering manager
Key/Core Qualifications:
