Software Engineer

TEKsystems•Torrance, CA

18d•$45 - $75•Onsite

About The Position

The Software Engineer will develop software which will operate in a resource constrained target environment with soft and hard real time requirements for various flight/space/ground systems. The software will typically implement complex data analysis data routing and/or control systems algorithms. Candidate will need familiarity with various processors memory and I/O architectures and be able to implement both procedural and object-oriented software in C. Candidates will work with real-time operating systems such as VxWorks or Linux and their associated host/development environments and tools. Designs develops documents tests and debugs applications software and systems that contain logical and mathematical solutions. Conducts multidisciplinary research and collaborates with equipment designers and/or hardware engineers in the planning design development and utilization of electronic data processing systems for product software. Determines overall system and user needs analyzes system capabilities to resolve problems on program intent output requirements input data acquisition programming techniques and controls prepares operating instructions designs and develops utility programs. Ensure software standards are met.
