Description :
An important client of ours is seeking a Design Engineer - Embedded Software to design new and existing embedded software controls for robust on/off road vehicles and harsh environments. In this position, you will:
0. Perform requirements capture, analysis, design, programming, debugging, hardware integration and verification.
0. Perform tasks with one-on-one supervision to meet quality, delivery and cost goals.
0. Gather and format requirements directly from customers with assistance from others. Review and provide proper feedback about the requirements.
0. Create and review innovative software architectures and designs (including Modeling and Simulation) for challenging problems with support from supervision. This includes breaking the original requirements down into the proper high level and mid range architecture and then creating detailed design notes from the results.
0. Perform analysis and make recommendations and design decisions based on results with assistance from others. Review the design calculations of others to ensure proper application of design techniques.
0. Implement code using proven programming techniques. Solve tool suite set up problems. Solve integration issues that involve multiple code modules, code bases, and/or multiple developers. Critically review others' code.
0. Perform and/or coordinate detailed unit, integration, and systems verification and validation testing using software tools including emulators, debuggers, hardware in the loop and simulations. Review others testing and suggest additional test cases.
0. Employ troubleshooting strategies; determine root cause with support from others and provide support in troubleshooting.
0. Review documentation produced during the Product Development Lifecycle that is generated by other engineering groups and verifies documentation is sufficient for product design. Generate support documents as needed.
0. Work closely with other project team members as needed to ensure the final combined product has compatible software, electronic hardware, and mechanical hardware which functions properly together and performs at levels specified in the product specifications.
0. Travel as needed to accomplish the tasks required of this position, including meeting with customers to generate and/or revise concepts and product requirements, installing and testing prototypes, and troubleshooting and correcting improper operation of products designed.
