Northrop Grumman is looking for an RTOS Embedded Software Engineer 5 specializing in VxWorks and Xilinx BSPs to develop and maintain the software layer that bridges Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) with Xilinx hardware platforms. This position will be located onsite at our Northridge, CA location and there is no remote work available. Key Responsibilities: Write and maintain the BSP, which is the software layer that allows VxWorks to interact with the specific Xilinx hardware (e.g., Zynq, Zynq UltraScale+). This includes device driver development for peripherals like UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, etc. Ensure the BSP is robust, reliable, and optimized for the target hardware Thoroughly test and validate the VxWorks RTOS on the Xilinx platform, ensuring it meets performance, security, and reliability requirements. Optimize VxWorks for specific applications and hardware configurations. Troubleshoot and debug issues related to VxWorks and the BSP. Develop and integrate applications that run on the VxWorks RTOS on the Xilinx platform. This may include tasks such as data acquisition, control algorithms, and communication protocols. Work closely with hardware engineers, software architects, and other stakeholders to ensure seamless integration and communication. Document the BSP and application code thoroughly. In summary, as a RTOS Embedded Software Engineer 5 specializing in VxWorks or similar RTOS and Xilinx BSPs, you will be a key player in bringing embedded systems to life, ensuring they perform reliably and efficiently on Xilinx hardware platforms.
