Embedded Software Engineer
Our client is a world leader in the development and manufacturing of underwater technology used across various sectors for monitoring, surveying and imaging. They are looking to hire an Embedded Software Engineer to work on complex software projects for one or more products or technology areas.
The development workflow includes tightly integrating with in-house simulation tools as part of a software in the loop (SIL) development cycle that extends through to deploying on target hardware and testing on at in-water test facilities.
Your responsibilities:
Software Development
- Work either individually or collaboratively to develop and validate new features for core technologies.
- Document software and update specifications as required.
Innovation
- Identify opportunities for software efficiency improvements through code re-use across a varied range of products and projects
- Keep up to date on technical changes in their area(s) of technical speciality.
Simulation and Validation
- Develop simulation and validation tools to support the development and testing of data / signal processing algorithms.
- Validate the performance of software modules on target hardware and assist post-processing of data to improve algorithms and functionality.
Real-time Software
- Support the deployment of software modules to the real-time codebase.
Collaboration
- Contribute to architecture concepts, navigation tasks, and development projects as part of a cross-functional engineering team.
- Deliver software to defined best practices and communicate with the team through presentations, documentation, and reports as required.
The ideal candidate will have the following skills, knowledge and experience:
