Senior Embedded Software Engineer (Onsite)
About The Position
The Advanced Processing Architectures Software organization delivers embedded processing solutions used across a wide range of safety‑critical commercial and military avionics systems. Our team is responsible for the development, verification, certification, and long‑term sustainment of advanced processing and graphics capabilities that support the highest standards of reliability and performance. We are seeking a Senior Embedded Platform Software Engineer to join our foundation software team. In this role, you will contribute to the development of platform control software that enables secure, deterministic, and robust operation of custom avionics processing ASICs or advanced MPSoC devices. You will work across key avionics capabilities including silicon initialization flows, secure boot integration, early‑boot software, platform security, hardware bring‑up, system health monitoring, and fault‑detection mechanisms. This position requires close collaboration with hardware, systems, and embedded software teams to ensure safe, reliable system behavior across the complete avionics lifecycle.
