What this job asks for AI summary
A fully remote senior embedded software role focused on firmware development for aerospace and power distribution systems. Day-to-day work spans the full development lifecycle — writing and maintaining C-based firmware for ARM Cortex and PIC microcontrollers, implementing communication protocols, supporting bootloaders and cybersecurity features, and producing documentation for DO-178 certification. Suited to an experienced embedded engineer comfortable with safety-critical standards and cross-functional collaboration.

Why we read it this way (11)
The JD requires U.S. citizenship due to ITAR, CUI, and NOFORN compliance — no formal security clearance is gated, but non-citizens are explicitly excluded.
Degree requirement is waived by the posting's own 'or equivalent professional experience' language, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Experience range is stated as 5–7 years; the overall years minimum is set to the lower bound of 5.
Communication protocols (RS485, SPI, I2C, 1553, ARINC 429, ARINC 825, CAN) are listed in the accountabilities/responsibilities section with firm language ('develop and maintain software components involving…'); they are treated as hard gates reflecting the core technical scope of the role.
LabVIEW, Python, and MATLAB/Octave appear in the accountabilities section as testing-support tools ('support software testing… using tools including') — 'including' introduces an illustrative list rather than a firm gate on each named tool, so these are marked preferred.
Lean/Kaizen/5S/Six Sigma is explicitly called 'a plus' in the Requirements section — marked preferred accordingly.
JTAG and SWD are listed together as interchangeable debugging interfaces; SWD is captured as an alternative to JTAG.
MATLAB and Octave are listed as interchangeable ('MATLAB/Octave'); Octave is captured as an alternative.
'Bootloader development' is listed both in accountabilities and in the Requirements section ('Experience developing and supporting bootloader solutions') — treated as a hard gate despite being a methodology/activity, because it names a concrete, distinct firmware artifact type rather than a generic concept.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): bootloader development.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
