Software Engineer

Job Responsibilities:

• Develop and optimize DSP algorithms for tactical communication systems on commercial DSP platforms (NXP, TI, CEVA, or similar)
• Develop software for RTOS environments with focus on task scheduling, inter-task communication, and interrupt handling
• Write and debug low-level assembly code to maximize performance on DSP architectures
• Collaborate with hardware engineers on board bring-up and system integration activities
• Support CI/CD pipelines and maintain version control using Git
• Leverage AI development tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) to accelerate development workflows
• Debug complex issues spanning DSP firmware, RTOS, and hardware interfaces
• Document designs, algorithms, and code to support long-term maintainability

Skills:

• Experience developing code for commercial DSP chips/IP (NXP, TI, CEVA, or similar architectures)
• Proficiency in C/C++, Python, and MATLAB for signal processing and embedded development
• Understanding/Experience with Bare-Metal programing (i.e. direct register-level programming of peripherals, clock and power domain initialization, cache and MMU setup)
• Experience with RTOS environments(i.e. task/thread scheduling, inter-task communication mechanisms, and interrupt handling)
• Experience with assembly language programming (NXP-VSPA ISA knowledge preferred, but proficiency in x86/x64, ARM, etc. is acceptable)
• Strong DSP fundamentals (i.e. frequency domain vs. time domain analysis, FFT/IFFT implementation, and FIR/IIR filter design)
• Experience with AI-powered development tools and workflows (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.)
• Proficiency with Git version control
• High ownership mentality: takes responsibility for outcomes and system reliability
• Ability to work effectively in fast-paced, loosely defined environments
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work both independently and collaboratively
• Knowledge of wireless communication system protocols and standards

Education/Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline
• 3+ years of experience in embedded software development with focus on DSP application
• Experience with CodeWarrior IDE and NXP development toolchains
• Experience with board bring up and boot process (i.e. First-stage bootloader, U-boot, Device Tree, etc.)
• Experience with JTAG debugging and hardware-software integration
• Understanding/Experience in Embedded Linux development (i.e. kernel configuration, patching, building, device tree authoring/debugging, kernel module dev, root file system creation, etc.)
• Previous work on tactical or software-defined radio (SDR) systems
