Embedded Firmware Intern

GalaxEye aims to shape the future of Satellite Image Acquisition, providing the most meaningful datasets, thus helping businesses and governments make data-driven decisions based on insights from satellite imagery. We will provide Satellite Imagery Datasets and Value-added services to Geospatial Analytics Companies and Infrastructure enterprises.

AtGalaxEye, we are working to build the best remote sensing satellites and also, we are researching various aspects of remote sensing.

As a part of the Embedded Systems Team, you will be the backbone of every electrical and electronic system like Electrical Power Systems, Data Acquisition Boards, On-Board Computer etc. This position requires someone comfortable with all aspects of embedded firmware development, thrives in a wide-ranging multi-functional organisation, is not afraid to debate ideas openly, and is flexible enough to shift on constantly evolving requirements.

Responsibilities

• Understand system and functional requirements, and translate them into detailed software requirements.
• Design and implement algorithms with acute optimisation for CPU cycles and memory utilisation while meeting rigid real-time deadlines.
• Develop software/firmware from scratch, ensuring highly modular, maintainable, and scalable architectures.
• Build validation frameworks for verifying implemented algorithms.
• Create Software Detailed Design documentation.
• Perform Static Analysis, Unit Testing, and Integration Testing.
• Take complete ownership of assigned tasks from concept to deployment.
• Evaluate third-party software, debug field issues, and conduct peer reviews.
• Collaborate with the hardware team for board bring-up, understanding schematics and hardware interfaces.
• Work with RTOS-based and multi-threaded systems.
• Implement low-level drivers for microcontrollers and SoCs (ADC, PWM, GPIO, Timers, RTC, Flash, EEPROM, etc.).
• Debug and bring up embedded systems using tools such as UARTs, JTAG, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analysers.
• Integrate with FPGAs and work on systems involving AMD Zynq UltraScale SoCs.
• Work with Yocto/PetaLinux build flows and Linux kernel compilation from scratch.
• Develop using build systems such as CMake, and ensure smooth build and integration workflows.
• Work on low-level driver design for high-speed HW/SW interfaces.
• Apply strong debugging, analytical, verification, and validation skills for embedded systems.
