About the role
Senior Embedded Software Engineer (Wind River Helix, VxWorks) This job application is restricted to applicants in the US only. We're hiring experienced Embedded Software Engineers to support the development of real-time, mission-critical systems. This role is a strong fit for engineers with hands‐on experience developing embedded software using VxWorks and/or Wind River Helix in aerospace, defense, or other safety‐critical environments.
What You'll Do:
Design, develop, integrate, and test embedded software for real‐time systems.
Develop primarily in C/C++ within embedded/RTOS environments.
Work with VxWorks and/or Wind River Helix development platforms.
Debug software at the hardware/software interface and troubleshoot complex system issues.
Participate in software integration, verification, and system‐level testing.
Collaborate with hardware, systems, and software engineering teams.
Ideal Background:
- Strong embedded C/C++ development experience
- Hands‐on experience with VxWorks, Wind River Helix, or related Wind River technologies.
- Experience with RTOS and real‐time embedded systems.
- Background in aerospace, avionics, defense, or other safety‐critical products is highly desirable.
- Experience with embedded Linux, device drivers, BSPs, low‐level debugging, or hardware interfaces is a plus.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
