ATC is seeking a talented and motivated Embedded Software Engineer to join our Advanced Solutions Group. This team develops innovative sensing, signal processing, and embedded computing systems for space, airborne and terrestrial applications.
In this role you will contribute to the design, development, integration and deployment of advanced, real-time embedded systems while helping guide technical direction across programs. You will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams and have opportunities to mentor junior engineers, influence system architectures, and take ownership of critical software components throughout the product lifecycle.
What You'll Do
As part of a collaborative engineering organization, you will:
- Design, develop, integrate, and test embedded software in C/C++ for embedded processors and advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms
- Lead the development of software solutions for mission-critical sensing, processing, and control systems
- Collaborate with Systems, Electrical, RF, DSP and Firmware engineers to develop integrated system solutions
- Support architecture definition, software design reviews and technical trade studies
- Perform and oversee software integration, debugging, optimization, and verification activities
- Contribute to system-level performance analysis, resource allocation, timing analysis, and reliability assessment
- Support products through development, qualification, production, deployment, and operational support
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to early-career engineers
- Participate in proposal development, technology road mapping, and new-product initiatives as opportunities arise
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
- 5-10+ years of experience developing embedded software systems
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ software development
- Experience developing software for embedded processors, microcontrollers, or SoC-based systems
- Experience with Linux-based development environments and GNU toolchains
- Familiarity with software integration, debugging, and verification methodologies
- Hands-on experience with automated version control, CI pipelines, and bug tracking systems to support reliable software development, release and maintenance processes
- Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary engineering teams
- Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in one or more of the following areas is highly desirable:
- Software architecture and system design
- Embedded Linux development
- ARM-based processors and SoC architectures
- Real-time operating systems (RTOS)
- Device drivers and low-level hardware interfaces
- Signal processing or sensor systems
- Model-based development and automated test frameworks
- Debugging tools such as GDB, JTAG, oscilloscopes and logic analyzers
- Aerospace, defense, space, or high-reliability systems development
- Working knowledge of CMMI or equivalent process maturity frameworks in support of disciplined software development and delivery
- Technical leadership or team mentoring experience
Leadership & Growth Opportunities
This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy remaining hands-on while expanding their technical leadership responsibilities. You will have opportunities to:
- Own major software subsystems from concept through deployment
- Influence system architectures and technology selections
- Lead small technical teams and development efforts
- Mentor and develop junior engineers
- Grow toward Principal Engineer, Technical Lead, or Engineering Management roles
Eligibility Requirements
Must be a U.S. Citizen and eligible to obtain a Top Secret U.S. Government security clearance.
