The Embedded Software Engineer for will apply their knowledge of RTCA DO-178C, best practices for real-time safety-critical embedded software development, and embedded C skill set to specify, architect, design, implement and integrate the embedded software. The ideal candidate will have a broad knowledge of embedded software development, from bare-metal board bring-up and understanding of microcontroller timing and execution characteristics to high-level software specification and design methods and techniques. The embedded software engineer is responsible for developing robust and reliable software to achieve the highest level of safety-criticality in the industry.
How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:
● Analyze system requirements allocated to software for correctness, feasibility, and appropriateness from an embedded software perspective
● Develop software high-level requirements to specify the functionality and characteristics of airborne software
● Architect and design the embedded software, considering hardware constraints, design constraints, and available resources to satisfy the software high-level requirements, and specify software low-level requirements
● Develop embedded software in the C and Assembly programming languages for ARM microcontroller targets
● Integrate the software with other software and the target hardware
● Assess, measure, troubleshoot, and resolve issues with software execution and characteristics such as timing and performance
● Perform peer reviews of other team member's contributions to the software development project
● Inform the software verification team for the appropriate testing and analysis of the embedded software
