Implement and integrate PMBus for PSUs; SMBus/I²C , Modbus.
Work with embedded RTOS stacks for controller firmware.
Quality, reliability, and security
Enforce coding standards (MISRA C/C++ where applicable), static analysis, unit/integration tests, and hardwareinloop validation.
Drive observability (health models, watchdogs, selftests) and resilience (degraded modes, failsafe updates).
Lead the design and development of embedded software for DAL-B aerospace systems.
Apply Model-Based Design (MBD) techniques using tools like MATLAB/Simulink for modeling, simulation, and auto-code generation.
Dvelop and integrate hand-coded C modules where necessary for performance or certification constraints.
Develop and integrate device drivers for communication protocols including UART, SPI, ARINC429, and MIL-STD-1553B.
Work with VxWorks RTOS for real-time embedded system development and task scheduling.
Ensure full compliance with DO-178B/C objectives across the software development lifecycle.
Conduct and participate in peer reviews, audits, and verification activities.
Collaborate with systems, hardware, and quality teams to ensure traceability and certification readiness.
Prepare and maintain documentation including software plans, requirements, design, test cases, and traceability matrices.
Utilize debugging tools like Lauterbach for low-level software debugging and validation.
Manage and trace requirements using tools such as DOORS, IBM DNG, or Cradle."
Qualifications:
Experience: 8–12+ years in embedded/firmware development, including 2–4+ years leading or architecting platformlevel solutions.
Languages: Expert in C, strong in C++ for embedded; solid understanding of memory/interrupts/concurrency.
Platforms: Handson with TI-MCUs or similar MCU/SoC; board bringup
Protocols/Standards: Deep experience with I²C/SMBus/PMBus, SPI, UART, GPIO (at least several of these in production).
Testing: Static analysis, unit testing
Tooling: Git (branching, code review), CI systems (Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
Architecture: Demonstrated ability to create architecture/design docs and lead crossfunctional design reviews.
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering (or equivalent practical experience).
Skills:
Collaboration & leadership
Lead technical design reviews; mentor engineers; coordinate with hardware, validation, manufacturing test, and DevOps.
Translate product requirements into firmware epics, backlog, estimates, and release plans.
Engage with vendors as needed.
Tooling & process
Own CI/CD for firmware (build, test), version control (GitHub), and issue tracking (Jira).
Maintain highquality documentation (architecture, APIs, design decisions, validation plans, release notes).
