Senior Embedded Linux & BSP Software Engineer (avionics) - Millennium Space Systems

Senior Embedded Linux & BSP Software Engineer (Avionics)

Millennium Space Systems, a part of Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), is a fast, agile small satellite company focused on national security space. Our missions have direct impact to global security, like missile warning and Earth observation.

Our team is curious, bold and innovative. We take risks, innovate and explore new techniques and technologies. We influence change because we challenge the status quo. And when we watch our satellites launch, we know each one of us made it happen.

You will lead the bring-up of avionics hardware into Linux. This includes owning the board support package (BSP), custom kernel work, device trees, bootloaders, and the low-level drivers that expose our hardware to the OS. You'll define and build the infrastructure that lets us deploy and validate these systems across flight computers, radios, and payload processors. You'll also create internal tools to exercise hardware in the lab and on the production floor, enabling fast debug and reliable manufacturing.

Position Responsibilities:

• Represent software and firmware concerns in cross-disciplinary product development
• Lead Linux bring-up for new avionics hardware from first power-on through delivery of a stable OS image
• Develop and maintain board support packages, bootloaders, kernel configurations, and low-level drivers
• Build internal tools as needed to enable fast hardware validation in the lab and on the production floor
• Communicate technical risks, schedule impacts, and integration status to program teams

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical discipline
• 9 or more years of relevant industry experience with embedded Linux kernel and BSP development
• 5 or more years experience with C programming
• 5 or more years experience with version control systems such as Git
• This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship.

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Familiar with C++ and Python
• Experience with Xilinx Zynq or Ultrascale+ SoC devices
• Experience with Xilinx design flow and toolchain such as Vivado and PetaLinux (Yocto)
• Experience with SDRs using AD9361 or Xilinx RFSoC devices
• Experience with standards such as SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO, Ethernet or SpaceWire
• Proficient with HDL simulators such as ModelSim/Questa and Xilinx Simulator (XSIM)
