Urgently Looking For Embedded Engineer// Mossville, IL (Onsite)// Caterpillar

Role: Embedded Engineer

Location: Mossville, IL (Onsite)

Duration: 6+ Months

Client: Caterpillar

Visa: No H1B/ OPT/ CPT

Process: Phone/ Skype

MUST HAVE:

• Embedded Systems Development: Strong experience in developing low-layer software for embedded systems, particularly in designing and implementing device drivers for electronic control units (ECUs).
• Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS): Depth of knowledge in RTOS concepts and integration/configuration, as this is crucial for managing real-time tasks and ensuring system responsiveness.
• Programming Proficiency: Expertise in programming languages such as C and Python, along with familiarity in using Bash for scripting. This includes understanding control software design patterns and anti-patterns.
• Version Control Systems: Proficiency in Git for version management, with additional experience in tools like Clearcase being a plus. This is essential for maintaining code integrity and collaboration.
• Hardware Interface Knowledge: Experience with hardware diagnostics and interfacing, including familiarity with protocols like SPI and I2C, as well as understanding non-volatile memory and board initialization processes.

Description:

Research, design, develop, build, and test the low-layer software, such as OS integration, I/O drivers, boot, etc., which interfaces with Client’s  wide variety of electronic controls hardware (i.e. ECU/ECMs). This assignment develops the low-layer software, such as I/O drivers, OS integration & configuration, boot, etc., which interfaces with Client’s wide variety of electronic controls hardware (i.e. ECU/ECMs).

Responsibilities:

Key areas of responsibility encountered in this role may include any or all of the following: concept, design, test, document, and promote new software features and processes; perform requirements analysis and decomposition; evaluate new languages, development tools, or processes; perform product maintenance; manage the software lifecycle through version control and configuration management; keep up to date on new technologies or develop new technologies; communicate technical information to customers, team members, suppliers and other units; and support and advise other engineers, managers, marketing personnel, customers and suppliers.

Work can primarily be done off-site, but hardware engagement on-site is mandatory as part of workload.

Technical Skills Required:

• Real world real-time embedded device driver experience is key requirement.
• Experience designing embedded electronics controls, display, or telematics software, including development of device drivers, SPI/I2C peripheral interfacing, hardware diagnostics, operating system configurations, non-volatile memory interfacing, board initialization, and other chip-level interfacing.
• Top candidates will have depth in RTOS concepts and integration/configuration.
• Proficiency in Git version mgmt required. (Clearcase experience preferred.)
• Experience troubleshooting/debugging using tools such as oscilloscopes
• Experience with control software design patterns and anti-patterns, Bash shell, ANSI C, Python, and other programming languages.
• Experience with software development processes such as Agile.

Soft Skills Required:

• Verbal and written communication skills
• Problem solving skills, customer service and interpersonal skills.
• Knowledge of reading schematics and data sheets for components.
• Ability to troubleshoot issues and make system changes as needed to resolve issue.

Education & Experience Required:

• Minimum BS in Computer Engineering / Electrical Engineering required. Comp Sci or comparable may be considered if experience is relevant.
• 5 years industry experience.
• Will accept Master’s or higher relevant internship/project experience toward minimum.
