Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Overview

We’re seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to lead development efforts on complex avionics platforms. This role involves ownership of embedded software design, architecture, and integration within safety-critical systems. You’ll work across hardware and software boundaries to deliver robust, certifiable solutions in a highly regulated environment.

What You’ll Do

• Lead development of embedded software in C, including performance-critical components where needed
• Own software architecture, design decisions, and system integration across product platforms
• Develop and maintain software in compliance with RTCA DO-178C / RTCA DO-178B
• Define and refine low-level requirements, design artifacts, and verification strategies
• Drive code quality, reusability, and long-term maintainability across programs
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and test engineering teams to bring up and validate systems
• Lead debugging and root cause analysis at the system and board level

Required Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science
• Strong experience in embedded software development using C
• Experience working with ARM-based processors or similar architectures
• Background in real-time or safety-critical systems
• Ability to read and understand low-level code and hardware interaction
• Experience contributing to or leading design and architecture decisions

Preferred

• Experience with RTOS (e.g., VxWorks)
• Linux/Yocto experience
• Board bring-up or hardware/software integration experience
• Familiarity with common embedded interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, etc.)
• Experience with avionics or other regulated environments
• Exposure to graphics pipelines (OpenGL) is a plus

What Sets This Role Apart

• High-impact role on advanced avionics systems
• Strong emphasis on ownership and technical leadership
• Work in a regulated, engineering-driven environment where quality matters
