Senior Software Engineer - Embedded Software

Senior Embedded Software EngineerRaytheon is seeking a mid-level Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join our engineering team supporting development of advanced defense, sensing, and EO/IR systems. This role focuses on Linux-based compute-platforms, data-processing frameworks, and hardware/software integration on VPX/SOSA architectures. The ideal candidate has experience building scalable, secure, and mission-critical software services running on x86_64 and ARM-based single board computers.What You Will DoDevelop software components that provide core compute-platform services, including data transport, scheduling, and processing orchestrationImplement and maintain frameworks enabling scalable, high-throughput, and low-latency processing pipelinesDefine platform interfaces, APIs, and data contracts in coordination with Systems, FPGA, Sensor, and Hardware teamsIntegrate software across Linux-based compute nodes and heterogeneous processing environments (CPU/GPU/accelerators)Manage and configure Linux OS environments and containerized runtime systems (Docker/Podman) to support platform deployment and operationParticipate in Agile development, ensuring high-quality code integration through CI/CD and DevSecOps pipelinesConduct performance profiling and optimization for compute workloads and platform servicesDiagnose and resolve complex issues in distributed, multi-process, or multi-node compute environmentsContribute to improvements in platform architecture, development tooling, and overall software quality practicesQualifications You Must HaveTypically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experienceExperience in at least one systems-level programming language (e.g., C, C++, or Rust) and developing software on Linux systems.Experience with real-time or low-level system development.Experience with CI/CD pipelines and/or DevSecOps practices, including automated builds, testing, and secure integration workflows and working within Agile software development methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, or similar).The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance after start. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.Qualifications We PreferExperience with container technologies (Docker/Podman) including container security best practicesUnderstanding of Linux OS security, SELinux/AppArmor, or secure configuration hardeningExperience with application-level security concepts (secure coding, vulnerability mitigation, dependency scanning)Familiarity with CMake/Conan/Artifactory workflowsKnowledge of NVIDIA GPU drivers or CUDAExperience with IPMI, BIT development, or hardware/software integrationExperience with embedded Linux platforms (x86_64, aarch64) and real-time kernels (RedHawk)Experience with kernel-level development, device drivers, or KO modulesFamiliarity with PCIe (MMIO, MSI-X, DMA) and common I/O interfaces (UART, SPI/BPI)Experience with Ethernet, IP/TCP/UDP, or network interface developmentExposure to MIL-STD-1553, Camera Link, or CoaXPressExperience with Yocto, Petalinux, DeviceTree, GRUB, or U-BootFamiliarity with VPX/SOSA hardware architectures, SBCs, and EO/IR sensor systemsWhat We OfferOur values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Safety, Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.Relocation Offered Based on Eligibility
