Associate Software Engineer - Embedded Linux

The Associate Software Engineer on the Embedded Platform team understands some key technical concepts and tools and is able to apply them toward making useful changes in an embedded Linux system. They have the disposition to work independently at times, but they also know when to seek guidance from more senior engineers on the team. The ideal candidate knows how to program in the Linux environment and is capable of performing some system administration or development tasks using a Linux command line.

Technical Proficiencies:

• Can develop useful programs in a dynamic language like Node.JS, Perl 5, or Python 3.
• Be able to program effectively in modern C++ using features such as the type system, generics, functional programming, and memory management.
• Can articulate some features of different networking or serial communications technologies like: Ethernet, IP, TCP, DHCP, UDP, NAT, HTTP, VPN, ARP, SPI, I2c, RS232, RS485, or USB.
• Working knowledge of a distributed version control system like Git or Mercurial.
• Working knowledge of the Linux command line, including some commonly-used programs.

• High-quality written and verbal communications skills – seeks to understand and to communicate clearly with their audience.
• Able to work independently toward a clearly-defined goal such as “make a unit-tested class or function that implements the CRC16 algorithm using the CCITT polynomial.”
• Not afraid to work with your hands – working knowledge of some common electronics tools like soldering irons, oscilloscopes, multimeters, network analyzers, and logic analyzers.
• Works within a specification by identifying testable aspects of the specification and by performing development tests as needed to ensure that work is complete.
• Not afraid to ask for help-- this is potentially a remote position and so success is measured by how well the team tracks to and communicates about project milestones.
