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 Precision Fires 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.

SAIC accepts applications on an ongoing basis and there is no deadline.
