Senior Embedded Test Engineer/Software Engineer

As the Senior Embedded Test Engineer/Software Engineer (DO-178), you will be responsible for:

• Analyze and interpret system requirements to develop high- and low-level software requirements for airborne applications.
• Design and test embedded software in C (and Assembly as needed) for ARM-based microcontrollers, considering performance, hardware constraints, and safety-critical operation.
• Perform integration of software with target hardware and other software components.
• Conduct troubleshooting and debugging of timing, performance, and functional issues in real-time systems.
• Lead or participate in peer reviews of software design, implementation, and verification artifacts.
• Develop and execute automated and manual test procedures to support requirements-based software verification.
• Perform and document software analyses, including worst-case execution time, memory usage, structural coverage, and data/control coupling.
• Generate and maintain software life cycle data in compliance with DO-178C Level A, including traceability, verification procedures, test cases, results, and analysis reports.
• Collaborate with software, hardware, and systems teams to ensure compliance with airborne system certification standards.
• Mentor junior engineers in best practices for safety-critical embedded software development and DO-178C compliance.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• US Persons (US Citizen or Green Card Holder)
• Minimum 5–8 years of experience in real-time embedded software development and/or verification for safety-critical systems.
• Proven expertise with DO-178C, including experience generating life cycle data for Level A certification.
• Strong proficiency in C programming; familiarity with Assembly language for ARM microcontrollers is a plus.
• Experience with embedded software testing, verification scripting, and test development methodologies.
• Solid understanding of embedded systems concepts including interrupts, task scheduling, built-in tests, and bare-metal development.
• Familiarity with communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, I2C.
• Hands-on experience using electronics lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal generators, etc.).
• Comfortable reading and interpreting schematics, reference manuals, and datasheets.
• Knowledge of DO-330 (Tool Qualification), DO-331 (Model-Based Development), and ARP 4754/4761 is preferred.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and documentation skills.
• Ability to work independently, as part of a team, or in a leadership/mentorship role.

Salary Range: $120,000 - $140,000

The actual salary offered is dependent on various factors including, but not limited to, location, the candidate’s combination of job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience.
