Burlington ON, Canada PVLabs Full time

Embedded Software Designer - Airborne Optical Systems Hybrid 4-Day Work Week Burlington, ON

**Please note that to be considered for any position at PVLabs, all candidates must be eligible to meet the requirements of the Canadian Controlled-Goods Program of the Defense Production Act, and be able to hold and maintain a Canadian Security Clearance. If you are not clear about your eligibility, please consult the Government of Canada website HERE **

The Embedded Software Designer role at PVLabsis not your ordinary stay-in-your-lane type of software designer. Instead, its an advanced, multi-disciplinary role that is essential to all aspects of architecture, design, verification, debug and test, deployment and (yes) maintenance of high-quality and well crafted code solutions for real-time embedded systems that drives the ultimate success of our airborne optical systems.

Nor is it the type of role where you're dealing with a monolithic code-base. Their philosophy is firmly rooted in modularity and component-based design because its just the smart thing to do. Finally, this role not only encourages you, but it pushes you to experiment and try new things.

You will get to enjoy being an active participant in all aspects of product design, and lend your voice, experience and curiosity to how our embedded code operates our state-of-the-art gyro-stabilized optical payloads. We want you to be vocal and involved in improving our efficiency, agility and quality of software development. We encourage you to contribute to our knowledge bases, standards and workflows in other words truly be a part of our team.

Reporting to the Vice President of NPI (New Product Introduction) and indirectly to a Project / Program Management Lead with a small but impressive team the main responsibilities of the role are:

  • Collaborating closely on the architecture, design, analysis, implementation and verification of complex, multi-processor real-time software solutions in C++ (and some C for our legacy systems)
  • Being a key contributor to design and code-reviews being critical, curious and pragmatic.
  • Working alongside multi-disciplinary project teams to ensure design requirements are properly understood and well documented.
  • In accordance with our internal standards for developing military-class systems ensuring that implementation and test solutions are aligned and are followed rigorously for traceability.
  • Actively managing our source-code and package repositories to ensure the highest level of integrity to align with both our own, and, more importantly, our customers needs.
  • Developing and improving our knowledge bases, standards and workflows that will further improve our efficiency, agility and quality in all areas of development and verification.
Technical Skills You'll Need for Success
  • Obviously a deep understanding of C++ and C for real-time embedded systems
  • Demonstrable experience with multi-process / multi-threaded application development
  • Embedded software expertise on micro-controller and FPGA SOC architectures
  • Capable knowledge of standard debugging tools and techniques including GDB
  • Happy in a Linux-based command-line development environment
  • Standard embedded communication protocols such as UART, I2C, SPI, CAN or Ethernet. (all of them would be really great)
  • Scripting expertise in Bash and Python, and of course working with git
  • Ability to read / interpret / understand electrical schematics
High-Value Technical Skills
  • Porting a board support package to new hardware
  • Linux driver development
  • Designing for aircraft safety requirements
  • GPU architecture and CUDA programming
  • Matlab programming.
About You as an Embedded Software Engineer

Our success is not only derived from the collective technical capabilities of their team, but more importantly HOW they work together. Here's what we value, and we seek those that share the following:

  • Creativity, Curiosity and Problem Solving, with healthy obsession for attention to detail.
  • Not afraid to seek out responsibility and opportunities to take the lead.
  • A confident technical communicator who can articulate ideas and concepts, but who also knows that confidence in communication also means the ability to ask for help or collaboration when you need it.
  • A continuous-improvement approach to design, processes and practices
  • Participating in requirements generation
  • Providing realistic cost and schedule estimations of assigned work packages
  • Drive the design and code reviews not just a passenger.
  • Constructively provide and receive guidance and mentoring to other members of the engineering team as were all in this together.
  • Preference for working on small teams that actually communicate with each other.
  • The kind of professional maturity that enables you to manage your own time and priorities and finds motivation from multiple sources.
Qualifications
  • Due to the nature of our work, you must be eligible to meet the requirements of the Controlled Goods Program requirements of the Government of Canada, and be able to hold and maintain a Canadian Security Clearance.
  • A degree or technical diploma from an accredited post-secondary institution, specializing in Software Engineering/Computer Science, Electrical Engineering
