Responsibilities

Develop and troubleshoot embedded software and firmware using C and C++, with C++ as the primary development language.
Integrate software onto embedded Linux platforms and support system and hardware bring-up activities.
Work with board support packages (BSPs), Linux kernel components, and device drivers to enable and optimize hardware functionality.
Diagnose and resolve issues across hardware, firmware, operating system, networking, and application layers.
Configure, maintain, and validate lab environments involving embedded hardware, DSPs, FPGAs, routers, switches, and other networking equipment.
Perform system-level integration, functional testing, and sanity testing to verify end-to-end system behavior.
Support hardware interfaces and platforms such as ARM-based systems, I2C, and SPI communication buses.
Develop Bash and Python scripts to support configuration, automation, testing, and troubleshooting tasks.
Troubleshoot networking technologies including Ethernet, TCP/IP, and Layer 2 networking protocols.
Collaborate closely with hardware, software, systems, networking, and external vendor teams throughout design, integration, and validation phases.
Work hands-on with physical hardware in a lab environment to support software deployment, debugging, and system verification.

Top Skills

Strong embedded software development experience using C and C++, with a focus on C++ for embedded systems.
Strong knowledge of Linux and embedded Linux environments.
Experience working with BSPs, Linux kernel development, and/or device drivers.
Hands-on experience with hardware and software integration and system bring-up.
Experience troubleshooting software running directly on embedded hardware platforms.
Proficiency in using the Linux operating system for development and debugging.
Understanding of networking concepts and protocols, including Ethernet, TCP/IP, routers, and switches.
Comfort working with physical hardware in a lab setting, including configuring and validating embedded systems and networking equipment.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
Basic understanding of networking concepts and protocols in the context of embedded systems.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with Yocto for building and customizing embedded Linux distributions.
Experience with Bash scripting for automation and system configuration.
Experience with Python scripting for testing, tooling, and troubleshooting.
Familiarity with ARM-based platforms and architectures.
Experience working with I2C and SPI hardware communication interfaces.
Experience integrating and troubleshooting FPGA or DSP-based systems.
Knowledge of Layer 2 networking protocols and their application in embedded environments.
SATCOM or telecommunications systems and technologies.
Experience using GitLab for source control, CI/CD, and collaboration.
Experience using Jira for issue tracking and agile project management.
Experience working in Agile or Scrum development environments.
Interest in long-term consulting engagements and contributing to large-scale, multi-year engineering programs.

The work involves regular hands-on interaction with embedded hardware, DSPs, FPGAs, routers, switches, and other networking equipment in a lab environment, alongside close collaboration with cross-functional engineering and vendor teams. The position offers the opportunity to contribute to one of the fastest-growing technology initiatives in the National Capital Region and to participate in the largest space program in Canadian history as part of a long-term engagement extending at least through early 2028.
