Software Engineer I - Next Gen Systems - Onsite

RTX•Cedar Rapids, IA

2d•$57,200 - $108,800•Onsite

About The Position

As part of the team, you will work alongside experienced engineers to help define high-level system behavior, decompose requirements, support avionics architecture development, and contribute to system verification activities. This is a strong fit for those who enjoy solving technical problems, learning complex systems, and collaborating across software, systems, and test disciplines. You will learn how avionics systems are developed across the full engineering lifecycle, from concept and requirements through integration and verification. You will also learn how to work with system requirements, architecture artifacts, and verification methods used on real aerospace programs. Additionally, you will learn how to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary engineering environment with mentorship from a dedicated technical “copilot” and other experienced team members, and how to apply structured problem solving, technical communication, and engineering rigor in a safety-critical domain.

Requirements

A degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related STEM discipline obtained by start date.

Nice To Haves

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical ideas, assumptions, and issues.
Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn complex technical systems.
Ability to take ownership of assigned work, follow through on commitments, and deliver quality results.
Coursework or project experience related to systems engineering, embedded systems, software development, aerospace, or controls.
Exposure to requirements development, verification, testing, or model-based engineering concepts.
Experience with one or more of the following tools/languages is a plus: Python, MATLAB/Simulink, Cameo, or similar engineering tools.
Experience working on team-based technical projects, including design reviews, troubleshooting, or test execution.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with a cross-functional team of systems, software, integration, and test engineers to develop and deliver avionics system solutions.
Support development, analysis, and refinement of system requirements and interfaces.
Contribute to verification planning and test development to ensure implementations satisfy system requirements.
Participate in technical reviews of requirements, design artifacts, and test procedures, while incorporating feedback into your own work.
Assist with system integration, troubleshooting, and issue resolution in lab and development environments.
Communicate technical status, issues, and proposed solutions clearly to team members and mentors.
