Embedded Software Engineer (Experienced/Senior)

Embedded Software Engineer (Experienced/Senior)

Company:

The Boeing Company

The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) Space Mission Systems (SMS) software capability is seeking multiple Embedded Software Engineers (Experienced/Senior) in El Segundo, CA.

We are seeking multiple embedded real time software engineers for our next generation of space-based computers. The selected candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing low level software/firmware that allows the operating system (OS) and application to interact with hardware devices connected to an ARM-based system-on-chip (SOC).  The candidate will work with the electronics products and software application team to ensure engineering excellence and achieve program objectives.

Position Responsibilities: (Experienced (P3)

• Design, develop, integrate, test and debug low level software to initialize devices for board bring up
• Design, implement, and validate BSP components for Linux/RTOS on ARM Cortex-A/R/M cores.
• Write and optimize device drivers for memory controllers, on-chip peripherals, DMA controllers, interrupt controllers, and security engines.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to define register maps, timing requirements, and recommended initialization sequences.
• Architect and implement software abstractions for memory-mapped accelerators, interconnect fabric (AXI, NoC), and coherent cache architectures.
• Write and maintain detailed documentation: SoC boot flow, software initialization sequences, register-level programming guides, and integration checklists.
• Review, analyze, and translate customer requirements for software products for embedded devices and systems.
• Drive software execution to deliver products on-cost and on-schedule to program.
• Produce design and test documentation and artifacts.
• Design and write custom tools to support configuration automation and improve development

Position Responsibilities (Lead (P4)

• Lead design, development and test of low-level software to initialize devices for board bring up
• Assign tasks, provide guidance and verify work to junior software engineers
• Gather user requirements and decompose to software level for software architecture and design
• Design, implement, and validate BSP components for Linux/RTOS on ARM Cortex-A/R/M cores.
• Write and optimize device drivers for memory controllers, on-chip peripherals, DMA controllers, interrupt controllers, and security engines.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to define register maps, timing requirements, and recommended initialization sequences.
