Job Description:

• Major responsibilities span design, software development, configuration and test integration to expedite QASB delivery using Phoenix architecture to meet commitments made to Cathay.
• Responsibilities will also include applying AI to speed up the SDLC.
• The engineer will require knowledge of Rust and understanding of messaging frameworks such as Zenoh

• Designs, modifies, and implements complex embedded software solutions for onboard data distribution, messaging infrastructure, and platform services.
• Defines, implements, and manages onboard messaging topology using Zenoh and related data centric messaging technologies, including routing strategies and partitioning.
• Configures and optimizes data distribution paths based on system constraints, performance needs, and reliability requirements.
• Codes, integrates, tests, debugs, and refines software to produce scalable, reliable, and maintainable platform solutions.
• Develops tooling to visualize, troubleshoot, and validate messaging topology, data flows, and system state.
• Enables observability through telemetry, tracing, metrics, and service health reporting.
• Reviews, evaluates, and analyzes system designs, interfaces, integration approaches, and data flow requirements.
• Prepares, reviews, and evaluates interface documentation, specifications, test plans, and procedures.
• Assists in definition, analysis, and allocation of requirements.
• Documents designs in engineering documents including functional block diagrams, data models, and data/logic flow charts.
• Maintains the developed software efficiently through familiarity with software life cycles.
