Software Engineer II (Onsite)
About The Position
As a Software Engineer, you will use AI-driven development to build avionics solutions for commercial, business, and military flight decks. The role is part of RTX’s Next Generation engineering team, which develops next-generation flight technologies, including flight-management software, embedded systems, sensor fusion, real-time avionics networks, and autonomous mission platforms. You will develop embedded flight software for safety-critical systems, write deterministic code, and debug and validate systems using simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments. You will collaborate with systems engineers, hardware teams, AI/ML specialists, and flight-test personnel to deliver integrated avionics that meet aviation safety, performance, and certification requirements. The work also includes supporting AI-assisted onboard features, following safety and secure-coding practices, and participating in lab, simulation, and flight-test activities.
Requirements
- Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM major, obtained by the start date.
- Qualifying experience may be gained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, or projects.
Nice To Haves
- Prior RTX internship, co-op, or work experience.
- Experience with high-level programming languages such as C, Python, or C++, as well as Git and DevOps.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a desire to work effectively in dynamic teams on challenging problems.
- Basic understanding of aircraft operational fundamentals.
Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize embedded flight software for safety-critical commercial aircraft and military systems.
- Write high-performance, deterministic code and debug and validate it using simulation tools.
- Collaborate with systems engineers, hardware teams, AI/ML specialists, and flight-test personnel to deliver integrated avionics solutions.
- Implement and support AI-assisted onboard features, including intelligent sensor fusion, anomaly detection, and autonomous control logic.
- Debug and validate systems using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, hardware debuggers, simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop environments.
- Ensure compliance with aviation safety standards such as DO-178 and follow secure-coding and cyber-resilience practices.
- Participate in flight-test operations, lab testing, and simulation runs to evaluate system performance.
