BSP Software Engineer - Webster & Webster Associates

Position Overview

Are you a highly skilled BSP (Board Support Package) Engineer in the embedded systems industry seeking your next step? This role involves developing, customizing, and optimizing low-level software to enable seamless hardware-software integration on embedded platforms. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), bootloaders, device drivers, and board bring-up processes. Note that applicants must be eligible to obtain a security clearance to work on government projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain Board Support Packages (BSP) for embedded systems across various hardware platforms.
• Perform hardware bring-up, including bootloader configuration and system initialization.
• Create and optimize low-level device drivers (e.g., I2C, USB).
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to hardware-software interactions.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure successful integration and system performance.
• Implement and debug bootloaders, operating system kernels, and firmware solutions.
• Support system-level testing, validation, and debugging using tools like logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.
• Document BSP processes, configurations, and solutions for future use.

Required Qualifications

• Proficiency in C/C++ for low-level embedded software development.
• Experience with RTOS (e.g., VxWorks, FreeRTOS, QNX) and bare-metal programming.
• Solid understanding of bootloaders, board bring-up, and hardware initialization processes.
• Familiarity with ARM, x86, PowerPC, or MIPS architectures.
• Strong knowledge of I2C, SPI, PCI, USB, and Ethernet.
• Experience with tools such as oscilloscopes and bus analyzers.
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and hands-on troubleshooting experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with kernel development and optimization.
• Familiarity with network protocols (IP, TCP, UDP).
• Exposure to hardware schematics and PCB layout tools.
• Knowledge of VME, PCIe, and other embedded hardware standards.

Benefits & Perks

• Work on innovative embedded system projects in a collaborative and technology-driven environment.
• Contribute to impactful solutions alongside top-tier engineers.
• Expand your expertise with cutting-edge hardware and software platforms.
