Software Systems Controls Engineer I & II

Rolls-Royce•Washington, DC

1d•$94,702 - $192,203•Hybrid

About The Position

In this exciting opportunity, you will work in agile scrum project teams to design, integrate, and test embedded control systems for airborne gas turbine engines. The New Product Introduction (NPI) team is creating the next-generation aero engine control systems, including those for the MQ-25, B-52, and MV-75 aircrafts. The control system development teams consist of a wide variety of functional team members including Embedded Systems, Software, and Electronics Designers as well as Safety, Certification, Quality, Component and Applications Engineers. Specifically, as part of our system teams, you will focus on defining control system requirements, behavior, and tests to translate customer needs into requirements for components in hardware and software. As part of our software team, you will focus on transforming those system-level component requirements into functional software that is correct and complete, complying with the certification evidence needs for aerospace.
