Embedded Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Duties include analyzing, designing, coding and code modification (typically in C/C++) of software designs of airborne embedded software implementations.
• Participate in requirements management via DOORS, systems specifications, and interface management.  
• Manage software lifecycle data via DIMENSIONs configuration management tool.
• Generate software requirements to integrate avionics sensors and equipment (i.e. engines, ARINC429, hydraulics, electrical systems, landing gear, RS-422, analog signals, discretes, CAN Bus, etc.)
• Assist in the evaluation of software designs to identify design flaws.
• Utilize a Windows and MOSA based software development environment.
• Assist in the verification and validation testing of airborne embedded software using a desktop simulation environment, systems integration labs, surrogate platforms flight testing and aircraft flight testing.

Requirements: 

• Bachelor's Degree is required.
• Major in in Computer Science, Electrical or Aerospace Engineering is preferred. 
• Applied Sciences (Physics) or Mechanical Engineering may be considered with applicable embedded software experience.

Position Requirements: 

• At least 5 years of relevant software experience, preferably in aerospace industry.
• Ability to develop software in a RTOS environment.
• Interest with ARINC653 software specification for space and time partitioning in safety-critical avionics real-time operating systems (RTOS)
• Skilled in utilizing modern programming languages (e.g. C++, C#, Java, Python).
• Skilled with embedded software development on Multicore processors.
• Motivated person with strong problem-solving abilities, willingness to perform a wide variety of related tasks.
• Effective communication skills (both verbal and written).
• Interest in modern airborne sensors, avionics, mission systems, weapons systems, or electrical systems integration, development, and testing.
• Familiarity with commercial certification and military qualification of aircraft systems is advantageous.
• Experience with Eclipse based software is advantageous (most chip vendors and software vendors are moving to this IDE. TI-CodeComposer, NXP-CodeWarrior, DDC-I OpenArbor, etc.).
• Linux/Unix experience (simple commands like ls (in windows dir), rm (del a file), md, cd, rd (make directory, change directory and remove directory) man – the builtin help documentation.
• Software repositories – GiT , Tortoise GiT or some other tool that has been wrapped around GiT.
• Experience with DO-178B/C software development lifecycle guidelines – Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification (and the DO-178C supplements).
• Interests with the integration of the Army’s Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) on vertical lift vehicles.
