Advanced Navigation is a global leader in high-accuracy navigation systems, currently entering a phase of significant international expansion. You will join a high-performing team on a mission to develop the most reliable navigation products in the world.
In this role, you will be instrumental in developing software for embedded sensors with constrained compute resources. You will work primarily with Embedded Linux on ARM architectures (Cortex-A53) found on Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs, while also supporting bare-metal microcontrollers (STM32, MSP430) for platform management.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
* Develop embedded software/firmware for ARM Cortex-A53 microprocessors within FPGA system-on-chip environments.
* Develop drivers and applications for photonics-based technologies using C++.
* Manage bare-metal peripheral functionality on microcontrollers such as STM32 and MSP430.
* Take ownership of software components, ensuring project requirements are met and engineering designs are robust.
* AI Integration: Proactively adopt and utilise modern AI-assistance tools to optimise coding workflows and problem-solving.
* Collaborate with hardware and manufacturing teams to ensure designs meet software requirements and support production calibration.
* Perform hardware-in-loop testing to evaluate system performance against defined requirements.
QUALIFICATIONS, EXPERIENCE & SKILLS
* Demonstrated Value Over Credentials: While a degree in Computer Systems, Mechatronics, or Software Engineering is standard, we prioritise proven technical impact and professional experience.
* 5+ years of experience with complex C++ embedded software products.
* Direct, professional experience working with Xilinx MPSoCs.
* Deep comfort with Embedded Linux in a POSIX environment.
* Proficiency with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Jira.
* Expertise in C++ and familiarity with object-oriented design.
* Comfortable with low-power electronics and microcontroller architectures.
* Bonus: Experience with advanced signal processing algorithms and FPGA development.
* Bonus: Comfort with electronics schematics and PCB design to support embedded PCBA development.
Key Behavioural Qualities:
Adaptable & Modern: Open to using AI-assistance for coding; an outright rejection of modern AI tools is considered a mismatch for our forward-thinking culture.
Self-Starter: A proactive approach with a reputation for taking ownership and making things happen.
Hungry Learner: A passionate learner who gets excited about pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
Communicator: Ability to deep-dive into technical topics and then distill information accurately for the wider team.
