Job Description

Salary: $90,000 - 130,000 per year Requirements:

• I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• I have over 5 years of professional software engineering experience, focusing on real-time embedded systems.
• I am proficient in C and C++ for embedded systems.
• I possess experience in decoding and encoding serial protocols for data communication between processors or subsystems.
• I have written firmware to interface with peripherals based on schematic diagrams.
• I have a strong understanding of signal processing, control systems, and timing synchronization concepts.
• I possess experience with Python for application or GUI development.
• I have extensive experience with hardware bring-up using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and communication interfaces to verify and troubleshoot new hardware designs.
• I exhibit strong analytical, experimental, and problem-solving skills.
• I am a US citizen or Green Card holder, and I understand that work must be performed on-site in Mooresville, NC.

Responsibilities:

• I will develop and maintain firmware for ARM-based microcontrollers and AMD/Xilinx SoCs (MicroBlaze and Zynq).
• I'm responsible for implementing embedded code for data acquisition, real-time control, and high-speed communication interfaces (SPI, I²C, UART, LVDS, SERDES).
• I will develop and maintain Python-based GUIs and occasional web dashboards for system control and data visualization; C#/.NET experience will be a bonus.
• I design and implement a variety of algorithms, including digital filters (FIR/IIR), motion and laser control (PI/PID), phase locking for interferometry systems, timing synchronization, and high-speed communication protocols between third-party hardware and image processing.
• I closely collaborate with a multidisciplinary engineering team—comprising electronics, mechanical, and software engineers—to design, integrate, and test complex embedded and application-level systems.
• Under the guidance of a Principal Software Engineer, I work on software architecture, code reviews, DevOps, and overall software direction.
• I contribute to embedded Linux application development on Zynq and similar ARM-based SoCs.
• Depending on the situation, I am open to using AI-based development tools (like Cursor, Claude) to enhance coding, documentation, and testing while exercising sound judgment regarding their usage.
