Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, test, and maintain firmware for reactor instrumentation, control, monitoring, and electrical support systems.
  • Develop embedded software in C/C++ for microcontrollers, embedded processors, and real-time hardware platforms.
  • Bring up new hardware, debug board-level issues, and validate firmware behavior using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, power supplies, and other lab equipment.
  • Implement communication interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, RS-485, or similar protocols.
  • Collaborate with electrical engineers on schematics, board design reviews, signal integrity concerns, interface definitions, and hardware/software requirements.
  • Collaborate with systems, software, test, and licensing teams to ensure firmware supports safety, reliability, and regulatory requirements.
  • Participate in design reviews and ensure firmware designs are technically sound, testable, and traceable.
  • Support hardware-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop testing, automated test frameworks, data acquisition systems, and integration campaigns.
  • Develop firmware test plans, verification procedures, and documentation for configuration-controlled hardware and software releases.
  • Analyze failure modes, define safe states, and implement fault-handling logic for embedded systems.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Experience integrating software with sensors, controllers, DAQs, power supplies, embedded systems, or other hardware-facing interfaces.
  • Experience with real-time systems, RTOS-based development, bare-metal firmware, or safety-critical embedded software.
