THE PURPOSE:

The Embedded Software Architect will be part of the Embedded Architecture Team, within the Software Engineering Function. The team works with other software teams to specify, develop and maintain the architecture for all embedded hardware (compute platforms) and software. This includes owning functional, logical and physical architectures, and insure clear information dissemination across multiple departments.

Ultimately, we will design reliable, scalable, real-time (or near-real time) applications that make Hyperloop One a reality. We are seeking candidates with various levels of experience to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals at our Los Angeles facility. 

THE ROLE:

• Develop, implement, and optimize the embedded architecture definition processes.
• Working with other engineering teams to:
  • Define functional architecture – diagrammatically, and with detailed design specifications.
  • Define physical architectures – diagrammatically, and with detailed design specifications.
  • Define logical architecture – diagrammatically, and with detailed design specifications.
• Define elements of the embedded systems to span the portal, tube and pod – with multiple systems and networks on each.
• Keep a customer focused mindset, prioritizing product deliveries.
• Champion processes and procedures across the organization.
• Communicate, present, and defend opinions concerning embedded architecture in a productive and diplomatic fashion.

CANDIDATE PROFILE:

• Expert in embedded software or hardware architecture.
• Expertise with multiple embedded operating systems, including RTOS
• Deep understanding of IPCs, API and networking.
• Strong written and oral communication skills. 
• Strong interpersonal skills.

• Ability to effectively prioritize and execute tasks in a high-pressure environment.

MINIMUM REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience with modern embedded RTOS.
• Experience with modern embedded Linux stacks.
• Experience with FPGAs, ASICs and other “daughter” hardware.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience building or architecting embedded systems.
• Understanding of safety critical systems.
• BS or MS Degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent field.
• Experience managing hardware and software architects, or equivalent.
• Expertise in automotive or aerospace.
• Experience with agile methodologies.
