Senior Cybersecurity Embedded Software Engineer

JOB DESCRIPTION:

As a Cybersecurity Embedded Software Engineer, you will design, architect, and implement security solutions for small-footprint embedded systems. Evaluate cybersecurity possible security vulnerabilities in software and hardware components and mitigate them. Adopt the attacker’s viewpoint and toolset to evaluate possible attacks on our designs.

Responsibilities:

• Technical leadership in one or more areas of application/embedded software development (such as software design, code development, testing, and/or maintenance) including project scheduling activities.
• Reliably deliver high-quality software within schedule constraints.
• Provides technical ownership of software products.
• Actively participates in product development teams for the development of new products and services.
• Works with the Software consultant(s) on the system and/or algorithm design and /or testing issues.
• Interacts with QA engineers to ensure that software products are robust and of very high quality.
• Implement software or testing designs efficiently utilizing the appropriate tools such as C, C++, C#, Java, Nunit, Coverity as well as the use of Version Control Systems.
• Research technical issues and propose technical approaches that achieve product and quality requirements.
• Participate in the full life cycle of development, from specification and design through implementation, testing, and support.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

• Bachelor’s in electrical or Computer Science or related engineering or scientific field.  MS or Ph.D. degree ideal. 8 years relevant experience and a bachelor’s degree or 6 years with an MS degree.  Will receive additional 2 years of experience credit for Ph.D. Minimum 5 years of experience (such as software design, coding, and/or testing) in applications programming and/or software development of embedded systems for safety-critical products.
• Excellent troubleshooting skills are a must.  Strong debugging techniques and experience in using the debugger are required and/or use of testing tools to ensure a high level of quality of software product.  Strong working knowledge of the principles of quality software engineering as described by software lifecycle development processes that are consistent with ISO, IEEE, or other FDA recognized standards.
