Sr. Software Engineer - RTOS & Networking

Accountabilities:

• • Architect, design, implement, test, and document embedded networking software and services, including IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP, IPsec, and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN).
  • Develop and maintain software for embedded systems with a strong focus on hard real-time performance, reliability, efficiency, scalability, and stability.
  • Analyze and optimize hypervisor, RTOS, and network performance to identify bottlenecks and improve system behavior.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate networking protocols, application stacks, and other platform technologies effectively.
  • Troubleshoot complex low-level software and networking issues, determining whether problems originate in hardware, software, or system integration.
  • Develop application-level solutions using POSIX and ARINC 653 programming models.
  • Contribute to RTOS, virtualization, hypervisor, and related tooling initiatives as required.
  • Support the generation, review, and maintenance of software certification data for high-assurance systems.
  • Use performance-analysis and packet-capture tools such as perf, ftrace, tcpdump, and Wireshark to diagnose and optimize system behavior.
  • Contribute to Agile development processes, including source control, code review, continuous integration, and automated testing workflows.
  • Perform additional engineering responsibilities as needed while managing multiple technical priorities effectively.

  Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline, with at least 5 years of relevant professional experience.
  • Strong C programming skills, including experience with common APIs and programming models such as POSIX and ARINC 653.
  • Hands-on experience with networking protocols including TCP, UDP, IPv4, IPv6, IPsec, and/or TSN.
  • Professional experience with at least one RTOS, such as LynxOS-178, VxWorks, QNX, or FreeRTOS, or experience with Linux kernel-space development.
  • Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex software, networking, and kernel-level problems.
  • Experience using performance-analysis and network-diagnostic tools, including perf, ftrace, tcpdump, and Wireshark.
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies and development tools such as Jira, Confluence, Git, and Gerrit.
  • Understanding of CI/CD workflows and tools such as Jenkins or Azure DevOps.
  • Scripting and automation experience using Python, Bash, or comparable languages.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Copilot, Codex, or Claude Code to produce production-quality software.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a technically demanding environment.
  • US citizenship is required.

  Nice to have:

  • Experience developing Linux device drivers and bootloaders.
  • Assembly programming experience on x86 or ARM architectures.
  • Familiarity with DO-178C software lifecycle and certification standards.
  • Contributions to open-source software projects or communities.
  • Hands-on root-cause analysis and kernel-level debugging experience.
  • Knowledge of RTOS, hypervisors, and virtualization technologies such as VMware, KVM, Xen, or QEMU.
  • Understanding of concurrency and multicore SMP/AMP architectures.

  Benefits:

  • Low-cost medical, dental, and vision coverage options.
  • 401(k) plan with a generous employer match.
  • Responsible paid time off and paid holidays.
  • Remote work opportunities based on role and business requirements.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
  • Career growth and professional development opportunities.
  • Opportunity to work on technically challenging, mission-critical embedded systems across demanding industries.
