About The Position

This position is part of Evident Inspection Technologies division, which delivers solutions to complex challenges by inspecting mission-critical assets and infrastructure. The division leverages nondestructive testing, remote visual inspection, and analytical instruments to support maintenance, manufacturing, and environmental applications. This position is based onsite in Waltham, MA. The role involves owning end-to-end software architecture for embedded Qt-based applications, developing and maintaining system designs, APIs, interface specifications, and design documentation. It also includes establishing scalable, modular frameworks for complex embedded systems and driving the adoption of modern design patterns, testability, maintainability, and performance optimization. The manager will lead integration of software and hardware components into embedded Linux (Yocto, Buildroot, or custom Linux), architect and integrate with hardware abstraction layers, backend engines, and system services, and ensure system robustness, resource efficiency, and smooth inter-component communication. Additionally, the role involves establishing and enforcing testing strategies (unit, integration, UI, and automated validation) and supporting CI/CD pipelines, build automation, and OTA update systems.
