About The Position

Joining Collins Aerospace isn’t just about finding a job; it’s about embarking on a journey to redefine the future of aerospace technology. This role involves designing, developing, and maintaining flight-critical embedded software for military and commercial aviation solutions and avionics products. You will utilize embedded Linux operating systems, C code, networking protocols, device drivers, hardware interface tools, simulations, and integrated development environments in creative ways for new products. The position requires specifying requirements, implementing software, developing test procedures, performing verification, and completing artifacts for certification. You will also perform hardware and low-level software integration, resolving complex issues around timing, device configuration, power-on sequences, data synchronization, and more. Coordination with other project team members is essential to ensure smooth operations and compliance with program and product requirements. Communication of technical progress, risks, opportunities, and necessary design alterations to software leads is also a key part of this role.
