External Job Description

ADVANCED CONCEPTS is an entity within EDGE dedicated to the design and deployment of advanced, innovative technologies. ADVANCED CONCEPTS is fast-tracking the development of high-technology autonomous systems, including three Medium Endurance, High Altitude, fixed-wing unmanned aerial systems, a family of precision loitering munitions, a cost- effective family of cruise missiles, and a range of guided artillery munitions.

Core Accountabilities:

  • Architect and design complex embedded systems, considering real-time constraints, power consumption, and resource limitations.
  • Develop and maintain bare-metal firmware for microcontrollers based on Cortex-M architectures, such as STM32, NXP LPC, and Microchip PIC families.
  • Develop and maintain firmware with RTOS like FreeRTOS, mbed, or ThreadX on microcontrollers
  • Implement Linux drivers and kernel modules for custom hardware components.
  • Familiar with debug process in Linux(gdb) and in microcontrollers (st-link, segger J-link)
  • Develop user-space applications leveraging APIs like V4L2, GStreamer, and FFmpeg for multimedia processing and image/video capture.
  • Optimize software solutions using Jetson Linux BSP and NVIDIA JetPack SDK components (Linux kernel, CUDA, cuDNN, TensorRT).
  • Integrate various communication protocols like I2C, UART, SPI, and CAN in both Linux and microcontroller environments.
  • Implement Linux client/Server against UDP, TCP or IP.
  • Participate in code reviews, ensure code quality, and follow established coding standards.
  • Lead and mentor junior engineers, foster a collaborative environment, and share knowledge.
