Senior Embedded Software Engineer

About the position

Wing is looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our Electrical and Embedded design team in Palo Alto, CA. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will use your experience developing real-time, embedded applications, drivers, and operating systems to enable the next-generation of unmanned technology. In this role, you will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams of electrical, mechanical, and GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) engineers. The successful candidate combines a willingness to learn and try new approaches with a detailed understanding of software internals and interactions with hardware.

Responsibilities

• Work with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and define architectures for new vehicle software
• Select and configure embedded operating systems for high-reliability, real-time computing applications
• Develop and maintain device drivers for peripherals connected via I2C, SPI, CAN, UART, Ethernet, USB, and PCIe
• Develop and maintain vehicle software modules interfacing with sensors, motors, servos and avionics
• Plan and execute test procedures to verify software performance at all levels of integration on the vehicle
• Maintain and improve embedded build infrastructure and automated test environments

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in software development for embedded systems
• Bachelor's degree in a directly related field or equivalent practical experience
• Demonstrated experience writing multi-threaded code for time critical and/or safety critical applications
• Proficient programming with C/C++ in a Linux and/or baremetal environment
• Understanding of structured software development processes (code reviews, version control, unit test development, on-hardware test and debugging)
• Experience with optimizing the performance of real-time and fault-tolerant safety critical systems
• Familiarity with embedded security elements such as protecting data at rest, preventing unauthorized system access, and secure boot features
• Knowledge of electronics principles, including reading schematics and using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes and other test equipment
