Job Description:

L3Harris Space and Mission Systems is seeking a Lead Embedded Software Engineer for our Wilmington MA location to join a team of experts developing Embedded Flight Software for space-based imaging payloads. This role requires strong technical depth in low-level embedded software hardware interfacing and multi-threaded application development along with the ability to provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers. The ideal candidate will have experience developing reliable software for mission-critical aerospace or space systems and familiarity with foundational frameworks such as NASA cFS or similar spaceflight software architectures.

Essential Functions:

• Design develop test and maintain embedded C software on the Linux operating system for space-based and mission-critical applications.
• Develop software that interfaces directly with hardware including low-level I/O control device communication register-level interaction and interrupt processing.
• Build and maintain multi-threaded applications with attention to determinism synchronization resource management and system performance.
• Integrate and utilize targeted foundational software frameworks for space applications such as NASA core Flight System (cFS) or comparable middleware and reusable flight software components.
• Support software architecture implementation debugging and optimization across the full software development lifecycle.
• Collaborate closely with systems hardware integration and test teams to ensure software meets mission interface and performance requirements.
• Participate in software bring-up hardware/software integration troubleshooting and verification activities in lab and system environments.
• Contribute to code reviews technical planning software standards and development best practices to improve quality maintainability and compliance.
• Provide technical leadership including guiding design decisions reviewing junior engineers work products and mentoring entry-level staff in embedded software development methods and tools.
