Embedded Software Engineer

YOUR BASIC FUNCTION
Develop and document code for use on a three axis stabilized antennas. The antennas range in size from 0.6 meters to 4.3 meters. Software is used to stabilize the antenna, identify the target, control the RF radio mounted to the antenna, and interface with the modems to ensure connectivity.
The software developer will work with a small dedicated group of other software engineers to bring to life a systems responsible for providing internet and television connectivity to the maritime community.
As a member of the software team, you will fulfill the critical role of implementing the new features that our customers demand. The software engineer works closely with the electrical engineers, test engineers, system engineers, and production engineers to realize challenging requirements.
Software engineers have the fantastic opportunity to work closely with the production floor and get valuable feedback from actual systems shipping to customers. Software developers are integral to the troubleshooting process and work with test engineers to resolve bugs.
As a team, the software developers fix and maintain embedded code written in C. The team supports bare metal drivers at the chip level, as well as complicated protocol requirements. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in real time environments along with some web development experience.
Software work on SeaTel products is full of engaging challenges as the product line allows for many different customer variations. Time is spent making the code re-usable and flexible for the next challenge.
