Role Summary:

We are seeking a Firmware Architect for Instrument firmware development. Our novel and transformative instruments will be deployed in various applications, from semiconductor manufacturing to industrial emissions monitoring to air quality. Our analyzers use a combination of field-programmable logic hardware, embedded processors, and application processors.

You will:

Contribute to development for the next generation of our analyzers, maintain and continuously improve current analyzers.
Work closely with scientists to help implement processing strategies for experimental hardware configurations.
Design and develop embedded systems that fulfill our strategic business goals and exceed customer expectations.
Practice industry-standard design, development, and testing process.
Enable best-in-class software development practices and design approaches to all newly built products.
Collaborate with and support other R&D and engineering teams in all development phases.

Must-have qualifications:

You have expert-level knowledge of creating advanced instrument control software with Python and/or C and C++.
Experienced in TI DSP, Xilinx spartan, Zynq Ultrascale+, FPGA, Vivado, and Vitis.
You understand the power and flexibility Python brings but also its limitations. You are a stickler for testing and thrive on creating a clean and maintainable codebase.
You are the engineer that other engineers can count on; you are technically excellent, you attack every problem with enthusiasm, and you care deeply about what it takes to build high-quality software.
You are a self-starter and team player who has the hunger to venture quickly into unknown areas, code, and make the system work.
Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or scientific discipline with 10 years’ experience; OR Master’s degree with six years of experience in software development.
Hands-on coding expertise in Python, C, and C++-based control systems for our instruments.
Architecture and system design of next-generation instruments.
Long-term evolution of our instrument codebase
Hands-on experience in embedded firmware implementation, architecture, design, and development with multiple analog and digital I/O capabilities, FPGA, DSP, and microcontrollers.
knowledge and experience with hardware design languages like Verilog and VHDL.
Must be well versed in communications protocols (SPI, I2C, Ethernet, RS232)
Knowledge and working experience with narrow band and Broadband lasers is a big plus.
A good understanding of physics of materials and gas analysis is a plus.
Instrumentation system design & architecture
Embedded Development
Python3, Linux

Nice-to-have qualifications:

Control Systems Development Experience.
Firmware Development & EE knowledge (Digital & Analog Design).
Experience using FPGA and/or DSP for high-speed data acquisition is a strong plus.
Rapid software prototyping & validation with attention to detail and engineering diligence.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Experience in optical absorption spectroscopy, laser-based instrumentation, gas phase physics, and gas phase physics desired.
