Development Engineer I SPPDG

TheMayo Clinic Special Purpose Processor Development Group(SPPDG) is seekinga Firmware & Software Engineer for design and engineering contribution to complex embedded systems engineering applications and smartphone is a research group within Mayo Clinic comprised of electronics hardware software and firmware engineers supporting a variety of design analysis and testing efforts.

As part of this R&D team the candidate would perform increasingly complex electronics engineering functionswhich may include embedded software development and test hardware testing and verification and software development and test. Additionally the individual will be responsible for maintaining and developing new features for a set of engineering support applications implemented in Python and Javascript and iOS-based applications and engineering tools. Specializations include real-time systems (especially ultra-low power portable systems) embedded C code implementations for various architectures Swift and iOS programming and Python programming. Limited travel may be required.

Requires a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering from an accredited college or university and minimum of 4 years of engineering experience.

The successful candidate is expected to have experience in firmware development test and verification. This experience should include familiarity with the following: basic lab equipment (power supplies multimeters oscilloscopes etc.) logic analyzers embedded IDEs C programming language embedded architectures serial communication protocols and general firmware and debug skills. Additional base qualifications include the ability to generate a test based on a description or functional requirement an expectation to document test plans test execution and results and ability to communicate technical details to team members.

Preferred qualifications include

• Familiarity with ARM Cortex M4 core use and debug of serial communication protocols specifically UART I2C SPI.
• Experience with Python language - especially for testing.
• Familiarity with version management software such as Git.
• Experience with Swift and iOS programming.
• Experience working in multithreaded RTOS environments.
• Experience and/or interest in applying engineering knowledge to physiologic signals such as photoplethysmography electrocardiograms and activity monitoring.
• Ability to document instructions to aid in programming debug test and verification.
• Familiarity with embedded coding standards and the ability to apply these standards.
• Experience participating in code and design reviews.
• Ability to analyze data quickly and determine best path forward for debug.
• Ability to debug embedded systems in real time.
• Experience using debuggers to set breakpoints watch variables analyze stack usage and monitor RTOS mechanisms.
