*****************NO C2C OR VISA SPONSORSHIP CANDIDATES****************

The I&C Embedded Software Engineer is responsible for developing and supporting embedded software solutions for instrumentation and control systems within a regional engineering organization. This role focuses on three primary responsibilities: designing and developing embedded software based on technical requirements, performing rigorous testing and validation of software systems, and collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure system integration and performance. This position is critical to ensuring the reliability, safety, and functionality of control systems used in highly regulated environments.

Key Responsibilities:
Develop embedded software solutions based on defined technical and system requirements
Collaborate with hardware, systems, and operations teams to enhance software functionality and integration
Prepare software design specifications and technical documentation
Perform module-level, integration, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing
Conduct code reviews and ensure adherence to coding standards and best practices
Debug, troubleshoot, and resolve software defects and performance issues
Maintain accurate records of software development and testing activities
Ensure compliance with internal development processes and regulatory standards
Participate in continuous improvement of software development practices and tools
Support on-site testing and validation efforts in lab environments as needed

Minimum Education & Experience Requirements:
Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field required
Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in software development or engineering roles
Minimum of 5 years of experience in embedded software development
Strong experience with C programming and embedded systems development
Experience with software testing methodologies including unit and integration testing

Special Requirements:
Ability to travel periodically to a regional lab location for on-site testing (approximately one week per month, occasionally longer)
Ability to work in lab environments with engineering hardware systems
Familiarity with highly regulated industries such as energy, utilities, or industrial systems preferred
Understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) and documentation standards

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
Strong proficiency in embedded C programming and low-level software development
Experience with hardware/software integration and debugging
Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing environments
Knowledge of coding standards, code review practices, and version control systems (e.g., Git)
Experience with software development tools and debugging environments
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Ability to interpret technical requirements and translate them into functional software
Effective written and verbal communication skills
Ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams
High attention to detail and commitment to software quality and reliability

Additional Desired Characteristics:
Experience in instrumentation and control (I&C) systems
Familiarity with nuclear, energy, or industrial automation systems
Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS)
Exposure to safety-critical or regulated software environments
Knowledge of model-based design or simulation tools

Work Environment:
This position operates in a hybrid work environment within a regional office and engineering lab setting. The role requires periodic on-site work in a laboratory environment for testing and collaboration with engineering teams. Occasional extended on-site assignments may be required based on project needs.

Other Duties:
This job description is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, duties, or skills required. Additional duties may be assigned as needed to support organizational objectives.
