We are looking for a highly motivated Embedded Software Engineer to join our engineering team developing LED message signs and control systems for the transportation industry. These signs are installed over highways and play a critical role in public safety and traffic management.

You’ll work on both bare-metal microcontroller platforms and embedded Linux systems, contributing to both new development and ongoing improvements to existing, mission-critical codebases. The ideal candidate values robust, high-reliability software design, and enjoys working close to the hardware in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware and software in C/C++
  • Contribute to and maintain existing codebases, ensuring stability, clarity, and documentation
  • Develop bare-metal firmware for microcontrollers used in LED sign controllers and communication modules
  • Build and integrate Linux-based embedded applications, including drivers and middleware for sign control and monitoring
  • Work with hardware teams to understand schematics and ensure reliable hardware/software integration
  • Debug hardware/software issues using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG
  • Design software with long-term reliability, diagnostics, and field maintainability in mind
  • Ensure compliance with transportation and industry standards for robustness and safety
  • Write and maintain technical documentation, including software design and test procedures

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • 3+ years of embedded software development experience
  • Proficiency in C and C++ in embedded environments
  • Experience with bare-metal microcontroller development (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, PIC, STM32, etc.)
  • Experience with embedded Linux systems (e.g., kernel modules, device drivers, user-space application programming)
  • Familiarity with version control (e.g., Git) and working in shared codebases
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, both in software and at the hardware interface level
  • Understanding of low-level hardware interfaces: I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, PWM, etc.
  • Strong emphasis on code quality, reliability, and maintainability

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with transportation or safety-critical systems
  • Familiarity with communication protocols used in ITS, such as NTCIP, SNMP, RS-485
  • Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) or custom scheduler designs
  • Experience with robust field-update mechanisms (e.g., bootloaders, OTA updates)
  • Knowledge of power management, watchdog timers, and fail-safe system design
  • Experience with scripting (Python, Bash) for testing or automation
  • Exposure to EMI/EMC considerations in embedded design

What We Offer:

  • Competitive compensation and full benefits package
  • Opportunity to work on public safety systems with real-world impact
  • Flexible work environment with room for professional growth
  • Collaborative team that values engineering excellence and accountability
  • A chance to help shape the future of intelligent transportation infrastructure

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
