Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

COMPANY OVERVIEW:

AOSense Inc. is the leading developer and manufacturer of innovative quantum technologies employing atom optics. Our devices use frequencystabilized lasers and atoms in a vacuum cell to measure accelerations rotations magnetic fields and time with unparalleled accuracy and stability. Our staff includes physicists and engineers with expertise covering a wide array of disciplines. Our teams are dynamic and fast paced since our hardware is cutting edge.

POSITION SUMMARY:

We are seeking a handson embedded systems engineer to create system controllers for fieldable atomoptic (AO) gyroscopes accelerometers absolute gravimeters gravity gradiometers inertial measurement units (IMUs) magnetometers and frequency standards. The control hardware for AO sensors spans a broad range of technologies including lownoise analog lowjitter digital rf/microwave high voltage microcontrollers systems on a chip (SoCs) fieldprogrammable gate arrays (FPGAs) and applicationspecific integrated circuits (ASICs). An ideal candidate will have an unusually broad background developing code for several of these diverse technologies. As a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer at AOSense you will collaborate with scientists and engineers to specify the operational modes of sensor control hardware. You will define design develop test debug and maintain gateware firmware and software for realtime control of our sensors with a primary focus on embedded C but also working on graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that configure and monitor sensor operation. You will help to guide the development of future generations of quantumatomic devices as they transition from the laboratory into the field.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Collaborate with scientists and engineers to specify instrument control requirements
• Work with electrical engineers to develop mixedsignal embedded system architectures
• Develop firmware and/or gateware for lowlevel hardware interfaces (e.g. digital and analog I/O) data analysis storage and communication protocols (SPI I2C USB TCP/IP and RS232
• Integrate embedded controllers with GUIs
• Follow established code development standards archiving and version control
• Establish and execute code test and evaluation procedures
• Document device control including requirements design code user manual and online help
• Contribute to proposals for further sensor development and applications

• Expertise developing code for devices employing microcontrollers and Xilinx Zynq SoCs
• Experience selecting architectures for complex electronic instrumentation
• Expert at realtime embedded C firmware development 32bit ARM microcontrollers preferred)
• Comfortable with mixedsignal (digital & analog) I/O and lowlevel communication protocols such as SPI I2C USB TCP/IP and RS232
• Familiar with a variety of development tools and environments
• Able to interpret electronics schematics and datasheets for device driver coding
• Expertise defining test plans for control electronics
• Handson skills operating standard diagnostic equipment (e.g. oscilloscopes logic/spectrum analyzers and protocol analyzers)
• Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills
• Applicants should thrive in a dynamic environment
• U.S. Government contracts require applicants to be U.S. citizens or permanent residents

DESIRED EXPERIENCE:

• Successful implementation of FPGAbased realtime measurement systems (VHDL or Verilog) using FPGA development tools (AMDXilinx preferred)
• Development in realtime operating system (RTOS) environments including PetaLinux
• Embedded networking/webservers
• Experience with one or more of C# Python Go Rust

EDUCATION:

Bachelors degree Masters degree or doctorate in electrical engineering computer engineering or computer science with 5 y related experience or equivalent professional experience

• Annual salary between $150k and $250k depending on qualifications and experience
• Medical and dental
• Retirement
• Stock plan
