Description:
ELECTRICAL - EMBEDDED HARDWARE/FIRMWARE ENGINEER
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
KAVX is seeking an Embedded Hardware/Firmware Engineer, to join a team and culture that is built around high-quality driven products. As our Embedded Hardware/Firmware Engineer, you'll have the opportunity to develop and optimize world class positioning and timing (PNT) systems whose high performance depends on reliable and well architected algorithms. You will be a critical team member for developing many of our high-performance systems.
We're looking for a passionate and collaborative professional who thrives in a team environment. You'll work with the rest of the engineering team to execute New Product Introductions (NPIs), communicate issues and risks, provide technical support, and report progress to the management and customers.
REPORTS TO: ENGINEERING MANAGER
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
Develop and design firmware code for new products for positioning and timing (PNT) systems.
Design, analyze and troubleshoot analog and digital hardware designs.
Use test equipment (oscilloscopes, network analyzers, etc.) to test firmware code in PNT system.
Conduct mathematical and engineering analysis to support system performance improvements based on firmware algorithms
Work closely with other team members including systems engineers, Oscillator/RF engineers and feedback design adjustments to the hardware designers
Develop microcontroller code to manage serial communications
Analyze component datasheets to determine optimal settings and create code to control those settings
Analyze new processors and FPGAs for next generation designs and work with other engineers on the team for the system design
Develop and maintain Firmware design documentation and conduct design reviews
Works with little direction and within a structured process, system and team environment to deliver on department and company requirements.
Performs other duties as assigned.
