Translate system requirements into robust embedded system architectures, including partitioning across MCUs/FPGA/ASIC and software.
Select appropriate components (MCUs/SoCs, ADC/DACs, clocks, power supplies, memory) and define interfaces to implement the architecture.
Design and integrate interfaces to digital (e.g., telemetry/telecommand buses) and analog (e.g., photodiodes) peripherals and components.
Develop high-throughput digital signal processing units for real-time acquisition, filtering, and processing of digital data streams.
Develop embedded software (C/C++ on bare-metal and/or RTOS), including boot, drivers, middleware, and application logic.
Collaborate closely with FPGA, hardware, and optical engineering teams to deliver complex quantum cryptography solutions.
Produce documentation: requirements, interface control documents, design specifications, and verification plans.
Establish quality practices: code reviews, static analysis, unit/integration tests, and CI for firmware.
Contribute to system security, reliability, EMC/EMI, and DfX aspects throughout the product lifecycle.

Requirements

Proven track record designing embedded architectures from requirements through production.
Knowledge of MCU/SoC/SoM platforms, RTOS concepts, memory/clocking, and low-level drivers.
Familiarity with common buses/protocols and analog fundamentals.
Proficiency in C/C++; familiarity with scripting (Python) for test and analysis.
Experience integrating FPGAs and reading hardware schematics/PCB layouts.
Excellent interdisciplinary communication and documentation skills; ability to lead design reviews and mentor others.
Embedded cybersecurity expertise (secure boot, key management, hardening) is desirable.
Experience in the space industry (radiation/thermal criteria, ECSS/NASA or DO standards, environmental testing) is desirable.
