Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer Linux/RTOS/C/C++/C#
Location: Warner Robins, GA or Boise, ID
Duration: 6-9 Months Contract to Hire

Job Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled Embedded Software Engineer with deep expertise in low-level programming and real-time systems. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with Linux-based embedded platforms, RTOS environments, and terminal-based communication protocols. Familiarity with Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) principles is a significant plus.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and maintain embedded software using C, C++, and C#.
  • Work with RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, VxWorks, QNX) to ensure deterministic behavior in real-time applications.
  • Develop and debug terminal-based communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, CAN).
  • Integrate software with Linux-based embedded systems, including kernel modules and device drivers.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware, QA, and systems engineering.
  • Participate in code reviews, unit testing, and system-level debugging.
  • Document software architecture, design decisions, and development processes.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor s or Master s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in embedded software development.
  • Proficiency in C, C++, and C#.
  • Strong understanding of Linux internals and RTOS concepts.
  • Experience with terminal-based communication protocols and debugging tools.
  • Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) and open standards-based design.
  • Knowledge of secure coding practices and real-time performance optimization.
  • Exposure to cross-compilation toolchains and build systems (e.g., Yocto, CMake).
