Software Engineer I (Onsite)
About The Position
The Software Engineer I will help develop avionics software for commercial, business, and military flight decks. The role focuses on embedded flight software and high-reliability systems, including flight-management software, embedded systems, sensor fusion, real-time avionics networks, and autonomous mission platforms. The engineering team uses rapid iteration and hands-on experimentation to build dependable technologies for demanding aviation environments. The engineer will develop and optimize embedded flight software for safety-critical aircraft systems, write deterministic code, and debug and validate software with simulation and hardware-in-the-loop tools. The role involves collaboration with systems engineers, hardware teams, AI/ML specialists, and flight-test personnel to deliver integrated solutions that meet aviation safety, performance, and certification requirements. Work may include supporting AI-assisted onboard capabilities, applying aviation safety and secure-coding practices, and participating in flight tests, lab testing, and simulations.
