Software Engineer Job Specification

My Client is an internationally known manufacturer of single board computer products, for the VPX, VME, CompactPCI, AMC and other bus architectures. Their products are designed and developed totally in-house, and use leading-edge microprocessors and peripheral components.

They sell into many different markets around the world, but in particular they have a number of high-performance processor and other boards used in aerospace, defence and telecommunications applications, among others. Further products provide solutions for a variety of other data processing and industrial I/O requirements.

Continuing expansion of the product range means that the company requires an additional Software Engineer.


The Job:

Engineers are involved in many different activities, and in particular the following:-
Developing and maintaining our PC BIOS and diagnostics firmware
Design and development of system and device driver software for many standard operating systems
Porting and testing of the operating systems on new hardware platforms
Working with our hardware designers during design to specify the product, and again particularly during the prototyping stage to get the product working This often involves the development of new special-purpose test software
Backing up our technical support engineers when problems arise in the field or in our in-house production test area
Working in a small company environment, projects are usually small and of short duration, and in most cases the bulk of the work is done by one individual. The hardware and software platforms vary, but most of the devices used are complex and a good appreciation of the hardware is a pre-requisite for this role.


Qualifications:
Engineering graduate, with very good experience in at least the first three of the areas below.
C or C++ programming, primarily for the Intel processor family
Diagnostics, bootloader or PC BIOS development
Embedded real-time software development
Programming hardware devices at register level
