Job#: 2086569
Job Description:
Apex Systems is seeking an experienced Embedded Software Architect with deep expertise in multicore processor platforms, real‑time operating systems (RTOS), and embedded software architecture.
Summary: The ideal candidate will have hands‑on experience with partitioned operating systems, AMP/BMP multiprocessing models, embedded Linux, and containerized application environments. This role will lead the architectural design, evaluation, and optimization of multicore embedded systems, ensuring robust real‑time performance and system reliability. The architect will collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to define system architecture, develop evaluation strategies, and guide implementation best practices.
Responsibilities:
Architect and lead the design of multicore embedded software systems using Wind River Helix Virtualization Platform (HVP) with AMP/BMP multiprocessing models.
Lead the evaluation and performance analysis of multicore processor platforms running real‑time and containerized applications.
Develop and implement architectural strategies for embedded hybrid Linux and containerized environments alongside safety‑certifiable environments.
Design and oversee test plans and benchmarks to evaluate multicore performance, real‑time behavior, and system reliability.
Analyze software and hardware interactions, identify bottlenecks, and recommend architectural and implementation optimizations.
Utilize profiling, simulation, and debugging tools tailored for multicore RTOS with partitioned and containerized platforms.
Collaborate with hardware engineers, software developers, and system architects to ensure alignment on system design and evaluation goals.
Automate evaluation workflows and support continuous integration processes.
Prepare and deliver architectural documentation, technical reports, and presentations to stakeholders.
Mentor and guide engineering teams on best practices for multicore software architecture, RTOS usage, partitioning, and containerization.
Stay current with emerging technologies in multicore processing, real‑time systems, Wind River HVP, and container orchestration.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.
7+ years of experience as a software architect or senior engineer in embedded multicore systems.
7+ years of experience with partitioned operating systems, including those that implement type 1 hypervisors, using AMP/BMP multiprocessing models.
Strong knowledge (7+ years) of embedded Linux and containerized application environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
Proven experience (7+ years) designing and evaluating multicore real‑time systems with strict timing and reliability requirements.
Proficiency (7+ years) with profiling, simulation, and debugging tools for RTOS and containerized platforms.
Experience (7+ years) developing architectural strategies for mixed‑criticality and partitioned systems.
Skilled in scripting and automation (Python, Bash, etc.) to support evaluation and CI/CD workflows.
Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
Demonstrated leadership in guiding cross‑functional teams and mentoring engineers.
Familiarity (7+ years) with safety‑critical systems with high Levels of Rigor or Design Assurance Levels and industry standards.
Other Requirements:
Must be a U.S. Citizen with ability to obtain Secret clearance.
Candidates who currently have a Secret clearance highly preferred.
