• Participate in all stages of the software development lifecycle: requirements, design, implementation, testing, and integration.

• Perform BSP development and low-level device driver programming on Linux or VxWorks platforms.

• Develop software tools, scripts, and XML configurations to support cyber applications and system validation.

• Configure firewalls and implement cybersecurity controls for embedded systems.

• Conduct reverse engineering, protocol transformation, and interoperability development between networks/domains.

• Support trade studies for cyber test tools, environments, and design decisions considering performance, cost, and reliability.

• Review technical contract deliverables (CDRLs) and ensure system-level compliance.

• Participate in peer reviews, defect tracking, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related STEM field from an ABET-accredited institution.

• DoD Secret clearance or higher (must be active).

• Experience in embedded systems and cyber-secure software development, especially for military or automotive platforms.

• Proficiency in C, C++, C, Java, or Rust for embedded systems.

• Experience with Linux or VxWorks internals, device drivers, and BSP integration.

• Knowledge of network protocols (TCP/IP, UART, SPI, I2C).

• Familiarity with IDE tools, version control, defect tracking, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Ability to configure and secure embedded Linux systems and assess system vulnerabilities.

• Ability to climb vehicles and navigate confined spaces (must meet Anthropometric Size Restrictions).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting Cybersecurity compliance for DoD systems.

• Familiarity with reverse engineering, firewall integration, and inter-domain protocol transformation.

• Exposure to electronic hardware, line-replaceable units, or vehicle network integration.

• Cybersecurity certifications such as CISSP, CEH, or equivalent are a plus.
