Description

V2X Embedded Solutions is seeking a **Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer II** to lead critical design, development, and integration efforts across complex embedded projects. This position is ideal for engineers who have a deep technical background in embedded systems and are looking to contribute expertise in designing secure, high-performance solutions that support mission-critical defense applications.

Primary Responsibilities:

+ Design, develop, and optimize embedded firmware/software solutions focused on ARM-based and SoC platforms, ensuring robust and scalable performance.

+ Collaborate with cross-discipline teams (systems, hardware, and software engineers) to translate high-level requirements and architecture into embedded designs.

+ Lead the implementation of embedded software in **C/C++** and Object-Oriented Programming languages, with a focus on real-time, resource-constrained environments.

+ Architect communication pathways across heterogeneous processors, utilizing serial buses (SPI, I2C, UART) and Ethernet-based protocols to enable seamless distributed subsystem interaction.

+ Configure RTOS environments, bring up low-level networking stacks, and integrate multi-core processors into secure, interconnected architectures.

+ Expand capabilities in hardware/software co-design by participating in schematic reviews, signal integrity validation, and PCB development cycles.

+ Optimize algorithms and pipelines (e.g., DSP for controls, RF, or video systems) to perform within real-time deadlines.

+ Author and maintain detailed design documents, traceability artifacts, and compliance-driven documentation to align with DoD and industry standards (e.g., DO-178C, MISRA, ISO 26262).

+ Employ automation tools (e.g., Python scripts, CI pipelines) to enhance testing, validation, and deployment efficiency.

+ Mentor less experienced team members, fostering structured technical growth and alignment across project teams.

+ Operate within Agile development frameworks, actively participating in Scrum ceremonies such as sprint planning, retrospectives, and backlog grooming.

Security Clearance & Other Requirements:

+ This position requires the ability to access systems containing information restricted to **U.S. citizens** , per Federal Government contractual guidelines.

Become part of V2X’s Embedded Solutions team—a trusted engineering partner committed to innovation, security, and technical excellence in solutions that empower national defense missions.

Required Skills:

+ 8+ years of professional embedded systems engineering experience.

+ Advanced proficiency in Embedded C/C++ and comfortable with object-oriented programming paradigms in languages such as Python.

+ Solid experience with ARM architectures, bootloader development, RTOS integration, and low-level firmware bring-up.

+ Familiarity with digital communication protocols including SPI, UART, I2C, and Ethernet IP stacks.

+ Hands-on experience with network analyzers, bus monitors, and debugging tools like JTAG and Wireshark.

+ Experience managing technical risks and applying system-level expertise to resolve challenging trade-offs.

+ Proficiency with version control systems (Git, SVN) and implementation of CI/CD pipelines in structured environments.

Desired Skills:

+ Strong understanding of Linux-based embedded systems (e.g., kernel optimizations, device tree configuration, Yocto workflows).

+ In-depth knowledge of compliance-driven development environments (e.g., DO-178C, ISO 26262, AS9100).

+ Experience implementing multi-processor architectures, hypervisors, and optimized scheduling algorithms.

+ Knowledge of video pipeline processing, RF signals, or DSP applications relevant to embedded defense solutions.

+ Background coaching or mentoring engineers aligned to Agile frameworks (e.g., Scrum ceremonies, Jira workflows).

+ Proven ability to resolve complex technical hurdles through collaboration and strategic problem-solving across stakeholder groups.

+ Active DoD Secret clearance or higher with eligibility requirements to handle restricted technologies.

Education Requirements:

+ Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM field.

Benefits include the following:

+ Healthcare coverage

+ Retirement plan

+ Life insurance, AD&D, and disability benefits

+ Wellness programs

+ Paid time off, including holidays

+ Learning and Development resources

+ Employee assistance resources

_Pay and benefits are subject to change at any time and may be modified at the discretion of the company, consistent with the terms of any applicable compensation or benefit plans._
