Solidus is searching for an embedded engineer.

The successful candidate will join a team whose mission is to be a laser radar center of excellence through the development of advanced laser radar concepts. The group is currently involved in the development and operation of airborne and ground-based 3D laser radars along with data collection, data exploitation, and simulation and modeling efforts for various applications. They have developed a number of fully-integrated sensor systems, some of which have been transitioned to field operation by sponsors or partners. The ideal candidate will have specialist knowledge of embedded computing platforms, as well as a broad and integrated understanding of the full stack (ranging from custom device drivers to operator UI software), and a track-record of shipping robust and extensible solutions packaged for use by non-expert operators.

Responsibilities: - Custom hardware drivers & software for real-time sensor control and high-speed data acquisition. - Real-time data processing components (including emerging GPU-based capabilities) - Operator GUIs (using custom network-based middleware & the Qt framework) for real-time control and visualization. - Custom device-driver & application software for in-laboratory control and characterization of new versions of custom hardware. - provide critical maintenance & debugging of deployed systems, and also service select feature requests from end-users. - Extend the functionality of existing real-time scan-mirror control and sensor-monitoring subsystems and improve operator usability by integrating subsystem GUIs into the existing Qt-based "master operator console". - Advise on and participate in ongoing research programs involving custom-built instrumentation, data acquisition & processing software, simulation & modeling tasks, and algorithm development.

Required Skills: - ship and an ability to obtain a DoD Secret Clearance - BS+10 years experience, MS degree +8, or a PhD. with 5+ - C/C Programming - Embedded Software - Experience developing within a Qt development environment - Software Design/Development - Experience with Embedded Linux - Windows Server Platform - Candidate must have 10+ years of experience in software development for Linux platforms, with a focus on real-time, data-centric embedded computing - Experience working with real-time distributed systems and airborne LADAR projects. - Solid knowledge of Linux kernel internals (process scheduler, memory management, concurrency/synchronization, memory allocation, file systems) and networking or storage subsystems architecture including PCI subsystem. - Software/applications: GUI applications, specifically using the Qt Framework, on Linux & embedded Linux platforms, MQTT, C/C, USB test + measurement class, PCIe device drivers for both Linux. - Hardware/Specifications: Photon-counting APD arrays, PCI Express, SCPI, GPI - Developing, debugging, and executing software in a Windows and Linux environment. - Specifying, developing, and verifying models and simulations

Preferred Skills: - GPUs (i.e. Cuda Processing) - MATLAB - SQL - Experience with GPU programming specifically NVIDIA CUDA platform. - Formal software development processes, software architecture, and VV&A processes, including for example CMMI and DoD VV&A. - Software validation. - Experience with JSON, SQL-based databases and MATLAB
