Embedded Network Engineer Our client is a leading provider of autonomous systems for ground-based movement in the working world; focused on building systems that protect front-line soldiers and enable civilian workers in industrial base. They are the go-to provider of ground autonomy solutions for the U.S. Department of Defense, which harnesses the technology for asymmetric warfare in critical conditions. About the role: The next generation of autonomous vehicles will be consuming exponentially more data than vehicles on the road today. The increased demand for higher data bandwidth and an increased focus on functional safety has led the industry to define new automotive ethernet standards. We are looking for candidates who are interested in staying on the cutting edge as we develop new products that drive the future generation of autonomous vehicles. The Senior or Principal Embedded Networking Engineer will act as the primary technical expert for developing the latest generation of high-speed embedded communication networks. What you'll do: Evaluating new network architectures, including modeling and assessment of network behaviors. Conducting technical risk and opportunity analysis. Deriving hardware and software requirements from high-level concepts/specifications. Working closely with the electrical engineering team to develop new embedded networking hardware for automotive applications. Developing embedded software as required to support new networking architectures and capabilities. Programing & configuring of embedded PHYs & switches. Assessing, implementing, and performing compliance verification testing of automotive networking protocols and standards. Performing embedded networking tests at the component level, subsystem level, and system level. Analyzing and assessing verification and validation results. Conducting network analyses to include safety, reliability, maintainability, testability, and system security. What we're looking for: Technical Aptitude and Intellectual Curiosity - We are first and foremost a technology company, working at the leading edge of capabilities like machine learning, autonomy, distributed networking, and multi-modal sensor fusion. Strong Troubleshooting Capabilities – Developing new products based on cutting edge technology always results in new and unique problems. The ideal candidate will be someone who use the tools available to them to help diagnose and resolve problems. Clear communicator – Working in a collaborative environment where multiple departments depend on each other for success requires a person who can effectively communicate across isles. Requirements: Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field of study. 7 years of networking related embedded firmware experience. Experience integrating, testing, and troubleshooting PHYs and embedded switches. Experience with RTOS and/or Linux Operating Systems. In-depth knowledge of networking layers 0-4 and common networking protocols such as TCP/UDP, static/dynamic routing, VLANs, etc. Excellent Software and Hardware troubleshooting skills at the system level, network level, and individual component levels. Knowledge of IEEE 802.3 Clauses 22 & 45 (MDIO) Management Data Input/Output. Knowledge of troubleshooting tools (network analyzers, scopes, Wireshark, etc.). Comfortable reading hardware schematics and integrated circuit datasheets. Would love to see: Knowledge in the area of Automotive Ethernet Communication (1000Base-T1 through 10GBase-T1). Experience in defining In-Vehicle Networks and software interfaces within the automotive industry. Experience with 802.1AS (TSN), 802.1CB (FRER), 802.1QBV (Stream Prioritization), 802.1AE (MACSec), and precision networked clock synchronization (PTP). Experience with ISO26262 Automotive Safety Standards. Telework Eligibility: On-site with partial remote work
