Description
We are seeking a skilled, experienced embedded software engineer with relevant experience in C++ in embedded systems to join our X-BAT Embedded Software Team. The team focuses on developing complex avionics software that merges hardware and embedded applications for cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).
The Embedded Software Engineer will work in a high-paced environment with a cross-functional team of program stakeholders, electrical engineers, Guidance, Navigation and Controls (GNC) engineers, systems engineers, test engineers, and the autonomy team.
Key responsibilities include:
Developing high-quality C/C++ code tailored specifically for X-Bat aircraft, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and safety. Participating in architecture, design, and code reviews. Integrating software from multiple departments to include firmware, software test and verification, Autonomy AI, and Ground Control Stations (GCS). Developing software systems to implement and integrate interfaces to modern avionics sensors, sub-systems, and payloads. Facilitating the design process for updates to the software system architecture. Using modern software development tools and processes to capture our existing architecture and design future architectures. Collaborating to define and extend systems engineering processes. Reporting status, risks, accomplishments, expectations to senior leadership. Designing and implementing systems capable of conducting tests across various environments, including virtualized hardware and hardware-in-the-loop simulations, to facilitate thorough evaluation of software functionality and performance. Developing innovative tools to enhance the frequency and reliability of software deployment, test execution, and data analysis within a continuous integration and release system, fostering improved efficiency and productivity in software development workflows. Creating prototypes to validate critical design concepts and assess technical limitations, providing tangible evidence of feasibility and informing decision-making processes.
