In this role, the essential functions are:

  • Lead architecture and development of real-time embedded software for aerospace and defense applications.
  • Define software requirements, interfaces, and system integration strategies in coordination with Systems Engineering.
  • Develop low-level drivers, BSPs, middleware, and real-time control software.
  • Implement embedded communication interfaces including RS-422 and other high-reliability serial protocols.
  • Develop software supporting motor control electronics including DC brushless motor systems and propulsion-related control hardware.
  • Integrate embedded software with instrumentation systems, sensors, data acquisition hardware, and test electronics.
  • Lead software design reviews and program milestones including SRR, PDR, and CDR.
  • Ensure compliance with DO-178C, MIL-STD-498, and other applicable aerospace software standards.
  • Oversee software verification and validation including unit testing, integration testing, SIL/HIL testing, and hardware qualification testing.
  • Support system integration, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis.
  • Mentor embedded software engineers and provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Support proposal development and technical briefings with internal leadership and DoD customers.

Qualifications:

  • 15+ years of embedded software development experience in aerospace, defense, missile systems, or other high-reliability environments.
  • Proven experience developing safety-critical or mission-critical embedded software.
  • Experience supporting full lifecycle development under DoD and/or MDA programs.
  • Strong experience with real-time control systems, GNC, propulsion control, or motor control systems.
  • Experience integrating embedded systems with FPGA interfaces, ADC/DAC hardware, and instrumentation systems.
  • Experience with communication buses including RS-422, SPI, I2C, CAN, SpaceWire, and Ethernet.
  • Experience developing embedded software on ARM-based processors such as STM32 or similar microcontroller architectures.
  • Experience supporting hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and system integration activities.
  • Experience with software configuration management tools such as Git or ClearCase.
  • Expert proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems.
  • Strong understanding of low-level hardware interfaces, interrupts, memory management, and real-time systems.
  • Experience with ARM-based processors including STM32 or comparable architectures.
  • Experience developing drivers and communication stacks for RS-422 and avionics-grade serial interfaces.
  • Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink and model-based development.
  • Knowledge of software safety and reliability analysis techniques (FMEA, FTA, hazard analysis).
  • Experience supporting embedded control of DC brushless motors, actuators, or propulsion electronics.
  • Strong systems-level thinking across hardware and software domains.
  • Excellent technical communication and documentation skills.
