Description

Job Description Summary:

Responsible for designing , developing and testing on Embedded Linux or RTOS (Firmware) platforms, systems that control and runs on devices that need to be tailored to the needs of the hardware that it has to control and run on (i.e. directly controls the real time functions of a physical device such as motors, alternators, engines, valves, fans, and other devices and products). Typically requires a deep understanding of the characteristics of the physical device being controlled, the realtime functions it is expected to perform and the ability to design, develop, implement, and test the logic and software required to realize the realtime functionality. Usually tailored for products and services across various P&Ls. Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Perform requirements analysis, design, implementation, and test of software solutions.
Implementation of feature requests, successfully merging the new design into the existing architecture.
As part of the development process, follows engineering processes, practices, and procedures.
Report progress and status to project management.
Perform rough estimates of time required to resolve issues, helping with task prioritization process.
Resolution of problems reported from the field; including bug fixes, design corrections, and complex architectural modifications.
