Job Description:

As a Principal Software Engineer, you will design, develop, and deliver Control Software and/or Firmware for Ultra High-performance electronic products. In addition, you may provide technical leadership to a small multi-faceted design team. We are looking for candidates who thrive in a fast-paced, start-up-like environment. We believe in small teams of highly experienced engineers. As such, we have a One Person One Project development culture so that you will own all aspects of a design, including Firmware, Microcode, Drivers, and upper-level control software. Our Cradle to Grave lifecycle product development means ownership does not end at product ship. You will assist with customer trials, address field issues, and ensure product sustainability. You will work collaboratively with an interdisciplinary team of engineers. In addition, joint development programs may require extensive interaction with partner engineering teams.

Key Qualifications & Experience:
