About the job Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software Designer

Please note that to be considered for any position at PV Labs, all candidates must be eligible to meet the requirements of the Canadian Controlled-Goods Program of the Defense Production Act and be able to hold and maintain a Canadian Security Clearance. If you are not clear about your eligibility, please consult the Government of Canada website HERE**

The Embedded Software Designer role at PV Labs is not your ordinary stay-in-your-lane type of software designer. Instead, its an advanced, multi-disciplinary role that is essential to all aspects of architecture, design, verification, debug and test, deployment and (yes) maintenance of high-quality and well-crafted code solutions for real-time embedded systems that drives the ultimate success of our airborne optical systems.

We want you to be vocal and involved in improving our efficiency, agility, and quality of software development. Reporting to the Vice President of NPI (New Product Introduction) and indirectly to a Project / Program Management Lead with a small but impressive team the main responsibilities of the role are:

Collaborating closely on the architecture, design, analysis, implementation and verification of complex, multi-processor real-time software solutions in C++ (and some C for our legacy systems)

Working alongside multi-disciplinary project teams to ensure design requirements are properly understood and well documented.

In accordance with our internal standards for developing military-class systems ensuring that implementation and test solutions are aligned and are followed rigorously for traceability.

Actively managing our source-code and package repositories to ensure the highest level of integrity to align with both our own, and, more importantly, our customers needs.

Developing and improving our knowledge bases, standards and workflows that will further improve our efficiency, agility, and quality in all areas of development and verification.

Technical Skills You'll Need for Success

Obviously,



a deep understanding of C++ and C for real-time embedded systems

Embedded software expertise on micro-controller and FPGA SOC architectures

Capable knowledge of standard debugging tools and techniques including GDB

Happy in a Linux-based command-line development workplace

Scripting expertise in Bash and Python, and of course working with git.

Ability to read / interpret / understand electrical schematics.

High-Value Technical Skills

Porting a board support package to new hardware

Designing for aircraft safety requirements

GPU architecture and CUDA programming

About You as an Embedded Software Engineer

Our success is not only derived from the collective technical capabilities of our team, but more importantly HOW we work together. A confident technical communicator who can articulate ideas and concepts, but who also knows that confidence in communication also means the ability to ask for help or collaboration when you need it.

A continuous-improvement approach to design, processes, and practices

Due to the nature of our work, you must be eligible to meet the requirements of the Controlled Goods Program requirements of the Government of Canada and be able to hold and maintain a Canadian Security Clearance.

A degree or technical diploma from an accredited post-secondary institution, specializing in Software Engineering/Computer Science, Electrical Engineering

Your contributions will span the design, development, and maintenance of next-generation, state-of-the-art electro-mechanical stabilization platforms, motion-control systems, camera and lens control systems, video-processing technologies, remote I/O subsystems, and the integration and control of advanced laser technologies and sensors.

With our dedication to the design, development, and delivery of highly complex systems across diverse sectors such as industrial, government, entertainment, and resources, our focus is on the evolution of advanced mechatronics and aerial imaging found in the Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) and Public Safety, Environmental Protection markets and more.
