Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Huntsville, AL
SAIC
Orlando, FL
**Description**
SAIC is seeking a **Senior Embedded Software Engineer** to support the development, maintenance, and enhancement of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems for the MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) program at **Redstone Arsenal** in **Huntsville, AL.**
This is a hands-on, high-impact role focused on LabVIEW-based test infrastructure used to verify mission-critical military hardware and software. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams, contribute to system architecture decisions, and take ownership of tools and frameworks used across programs.
**Work Environment: This is a fully onsite position at Redstone Arsenal. Due to the nature of the work, remote/hybrid is not available.**
**What you will do:**
+ Maintain and improve HIL test systems—addressing both existing issues and new requirements—to support evolving test goals.
+ Refactor existing LabVIEW codebases to improve usability, maintainability, performance, and scalability.
+ Develop new software and hardware components to expand test capabilities for upcoming system features.
+ Design reusable frameworks and architectures that can support multiple configurations or be used by less-experienced developers.
+ Improve internal tooling and infrastructure to streamline testing workflows and increase engineering productivity.
+ Assist other groups with test tool usage and apply domain expertise to broader systems where needed.
+ Provide mentorship and technical leadership to junior engineers on best practices, design approaches, and debugging techniques.
+ Play a key role in guiding long-term direction, helping prioritize work, and aligning team efforts with program goals.
+ Deepen your domain expertise. Our systems interact with a broad array of hardware and software. You’ll frequently investigate subsystems you interface with, gaining cross-disciplinary knowledge and becoming a go-to resource on complex system interactions.
+ Mentorship & Influence: Senior-level authority to shape designs, guide less experienced developers, and drive system evolution.
**Qualifications**
**Education Requirements:**
+ Bachelors degree and nine (9) years experience; Additional six (6) years experience can be accepted in lieu of degree.
**Clearance Requirements:**
+ Must possess an active active Secret clearance or have the ability to obtain one; US Citizenship required.
**Required Experience/Skills:**
+ Excellent communication skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively
+ Proficiency in LabVIEW, including:
+ Object-oriented LabVIEW programming
+ Design and development of modular, reusable frameworks
+ Strong grasp of LabVIEW best practices and coding standards
+ Strong troubleshooting skills with combined hardware/software systems
+ Familiarity with laboratory tools (multimeters, oscilloscopes, signal generators, etc.)
+ Understanding of electrical concepts: continuity, resistance, voltage, current, grounding, capacitance, etc.
**Desired Experience/Skills:**
+ Experience supporting military or aerospace test infrastructure
+ Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing
+ Familiarity with hardware communication protocols (e.g., CAN, RS-232, SPI, etc.)
+ Experience with source control systems and conducting code reviews
