Here, your software won’t just run—it will take off, soar, and return safely as part of advanced avionics used across military and commercial aviation. Design, develop, and maintain flight‑critical embedded software for next‑generation aviation and mission solutions. Work hands-on with embedded Linux, C/C++, networking protocols, device drivers, hardware interfaces, and simulation environments. Build high‑integrity systems that meet rigorous safety, reliability, and airworthiness standards. Define requirements, implement features, develop test procedures, perform verification activities, and produce certification-ready artifacts.
