Responsibilities

Understand complex, inter-dependent systems that hit multiple abstraction levels for embedded systems, interacting across a number of system interfaces.
Design and develop embedded software tools and capabilities to analyze, test, and evaluate existing software.
Apply systems engineering knowledge to identify and communicate weaknesses and flawed implementations of embedded functionality tracing from requirements.
Utilize static analysis, dynamic testing, and complexity analysis tools to uncover software weaknesses, security vulnerabilities, and instances of poor engineering judgment, guiding a high-impact, safety-critical system toward robustness, reliability, and engineering soundness.
Conduct research, experimentation, and present knowledge-sharing initiatives to enhance software development processes, demonstrate analytical capabilities, and foster a comprehensive understanding of system-of-systems (SoS) integration and performance.
