We are seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to sustain, troubleshoot, and improve embedded software for in‑service business‑jet cabin systems (IFE/CMS). You will work across Linux, QNX, RTOS, and bare‑metal environments, diagnose field issues on custom hardware, and maintain certification‑ready software deployed in production aircraft. This role owns the health of fielded product lines, resolving defects, preventing regressions, and managing component obsolescence while collaborating closely with hardware, FPGA, systems, quality, and field support teams.

• Own the software lifecycle of fielded embedded products, driving reliability, maintainability, and continued compliance across microprocessor and DSP‑based systems.
• Diagnose and resolve field‑reported defects across custom SoC platforms (ARM), peripherals (I2C/SPI/UART, GPIO, USB, Ethernet), and networking stacks (TCP/UDP, multicast).
• Perform root cause analysis on production issues; develop and validate corrective actions through the full verification cycle.
• Lead HW/SW troubleshooting on fielded units using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and trace tools.
• Lead sustaining engineering efforts on assigned product lines; mentor junior engineers, prioritize defect backlogs, and coordinate with product management on release planning.
• Manage component obsolescence and end‑of‑life transitions; evaluate, qualify, and integrate alternate parts with minimal design disruption.
• Maintain certification‑aligned software processes (requirements, design, code reviews, regression tests, verification evidence) for updates to fielded products.
• Collaborate across FPGA, hardware, manufacturing, quality, and field support teams to resolve cross‑functional issues and drive continuous improvement.

• Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering (BSCS, BSEE) or equivalent.

• Eight (8)+ years of embedded software design experience.
• Experience with QNX Neutrino RTOS, including BSP development, driver work, or system integration.
• Must be familiar/experienced with the C programming language in embedded systems/real‑time OS.
• Strong debugging and root cause analysis skills across hardware/software boundaries in production environments.
• Experience sustaining or supporting Ethernet and microprocessor/DSP‑based products through their full lifecycle, including post‑release maintenance and field issue…
