Skyline Products
Embedded Software Engineer Traffic Division
Skyline Products, Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States, 80509
About the Role:
Pay: $110,000.00 - $140,000.00 per year
We are looking for a highly motivated Embedded Software Engineer to join our engineering team developing LED message signs and control systems for the transportation industry. These signs are installed over highways and play a critical role in public safety and traffic management.
You’ll work on both bare-metal microcontroller platforms and embedded Linux systems, contributing to both new development and ongoing improvements to existing, mission-critical codebases. The ideal candidate values robust, high-reliability software design, and enjoys working close to the hardware in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware and software in C/C++
Contribute to and maintain existing codebases, ensuring stability, clarity, and documentation
Develop bare-metal firmware for microcontrollers used in LED sign controllers and communication modules
Build and integrate Linux-based embedded applications, including drivers and middleware for sign control and monitoring
Work with hardware teams to understand schematics and ensure reliable hardware/software integration
Debug hardware/software issues using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG
Design software with long-term reliability, diagnostics, and field maintainability in mind
Ensure compliance with transportation and industry standards for robustness and safety
Write and maintain technical documentation, including software design and test procedures
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
3+ years of embedded software development experience
Proficiency in C and C++ in embedded environments
Experience with bare-metal microcontroller development (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, PIC, STM32, etc.)
Experience with embedded Linux systems (e.g., kernel modules, device drivers, user-space application programming)
Familiarity with version control (e.g., Git) and working in shared codebases
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, both in software and at the hardware interface level
Understanding of low-level hardware interfaces: I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, PWM, etc.
Strong emphasis on code quality, reliability, and maintainability
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with transportation or safety-critical systems
Familiarity with communication protocols used in ITS, such as NTCIP, SNMP, RS-485
Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) or custom scheduler designs
Experience with robust field-update mechanisms (e.g., bootloaders, OTA updates)
Knowledge of power management, watchdog timers, and fail-safe system design
Experience with scripting (Python, Bash) for testing or automation
Exposure to EMI/EMC considerations in embedded design
What We Offer:
Competitive compensation and full benefits package
Opportunity to work on public safety systems with real-world impact
Flexible work environment with room for professional growth
Collaborative team that values engineering excellence and accountability
A chance to help shape the future of intelligent transportation infrastructure
Why You’ll Love Working With Us – Perks & Benefits:
401(k) with 6% Company Match – We invest in your future, dollar for dollar.
Full Health Coverage – Includes Medical, Dental, and Vision so you stay in top shape.
Life & Disability Insurance – Protection and peace of mind when it matters most.
Supplemental Coverage – Hospital Indemnity, Critical Illness, and Accident Insurance.
