Jobs @ Continuum, Newton, MA

Continuum (www.dcontinuum.com) in Newton, MA is looking for two people. Contact Adam Casey, acasey@dcontinuum.com:

** Software-Hardware Test Engineer **
This is a two-fold position. The candidate's primary responsibilities will be developing and performing all software testing, including unit tests using scripting languages.  The candidate will oversee and execute the firmware/software quality process at Continuum, and have a central role in its ongoing refinement.  He or she will be responsible for the verification and validation of embedded software and systems to detailed requirements.  Knowledge of software test practices is a plus.

Secondary responsibilities will be electronic hardware design, including schematic capture, overseeing board layout and prototyping, hardware testing, and integration with firmware and mechanical systems.

B.S. in Electrical Engineering and 1-3 years experience digital hardware design experience.

** Embedded Systems Engineer II **
The candidate's primary responsibilities will be developing firmware and software for embedded applications.  Platforms vary from small 8-bit microcontrollers to 32-bit microprocessors.  Knowledge of real time operating systems and adherence to code standards and best practices are essential. Using oscilloscopes, digital multi-meters, function generators, and spectrum analyzers for debugging and development must be second-nature.

Secondary responsibilities will be development of software for non-embedded platforms. These may include web-based applications, desktop applications for various operating systems, or applications designed for mobile platforms.

Tertiary responsibilities may include electronic hardware design, schematic capture, overseeing board layout and prototyping, hardware testing, and integration with firmware and mechanical systems.

B.S. in Electrical Engineering and 2-4 years embedded firmware development experience.
