INTRODUCTION: SAIC is seeking an entry-level embedded software engineer as part of the Launcher Electronics Assembly (LEA) program at the Indianapolis, IN facility.

JOB DESCRIPTION: The candidate will directly support Government program(s) as an embedded software engineer throughout the entire program lifecycle. Candidate will be expected to design, develop, document, test, and debug software applications for use in embedded military applications that require low level control processing (Interrupts, Timers, Digital I/O, and serial communication protocols). Candidate will be expected to develop embedded software for use on real-time and near real-time operating systems and processors. Candidate will also be expected to create supporting documentation; conduct peer reviews; and ensure software standards are met. Candidate may be expected to possess a basic knowledge of reading schematics of complex electronic assemblies. Candidate may also be required to develop supporting test software applications. Candidate may be expected to conduct multidisciplinary research and collaborate with equipment designers and/or hardware engineers in the planning, requirements analysis and definition, design, development, and utilization of electronic data processing systems for product. Candidate is expected to possess excellent communication skills to interface to multi-disciplinary design team. 

KNOWLEDGE/SKILLS AND ABILITY: Limited use and/or application of technical principles, theories, and concepts. Receives assignments in the form of specific tasks for the work to be completed. Work is reviewed by management to measure meeting objectives and schedules.

PROBLEM COMPLEXITY: Develops solutions to routine technical problems of limited scope. Follows standard practices and procedures in analyzing situations or data from which answers can be readily obtained.

FREEDOM TO ACT: Work is closely supervised. Follows specific, detailed instructions.

IMPACT: Contributes to completion of routine technical tasks. Failure to achieve results can normally be overcome without serious effect on schedules and programs

LIASON: Contacts are primarily with immediate supervisor, project leaders, and other professionals in the group.
