Translate system requirements into robust embedded system architectures, including partitioning across MCU/FPGA/ASIC and software
Select suitable components (MCUs/SoCs, ADC/DACs, clocks, power, memories) and define interfaces to implement the architecture
Design and integrate interfaces to digital (e.g. telemetry/telecommand buses) and analog (e.g. photodiodes) peripherals and components
Develop high-throughput digital signal processing units for real-time acquisition, filtering, and processing of digital data streams
Develop embedded software (C/C++ on bare-metal and/or RTOS), including boot, drivers, middleware, and application logic
Collaborate closely with FPGA, hardware, and optical engineering teams to deliver complex quantum-cryptography solutions
Create documentation: requirements, interface control documents, design specifications, and verification plans
Establish quality practices: code reviews, static analysis, unit/integration testing, and CI for firmware
Contribute to system security, reliability, EMC/EMI, and DfX considerations throughout the lifecycle

Strong track record designing embedded architectures from requirements through production
Deep knowledge of MCU/SoC/SoM platforms, RTOS concepts, memory/clocking, and low-level drivers
Fluency with common buses/protocols and analog fundamentals
Proficiency in C/C++; familiarity with scripting (Python) for test and automation
Experience integrating with FPGAs and reading hardware schematics/PCB layouts
Excellent cross-functional communication and documentation skills; ability to lead design reviews and mentor others
Nice to have: Embedded cybersecurity expertise (secure boot, key management, hardening)
Nice to have: Space industry experience (radiation/thermal considerations, ECSS/NASA or DoD standards, environmental testing)
