General description of the job

We are seeking a Software Engineering Professional experienced in software and firmware development for aviation-grade systems such as routers, aircraft connectivity platforms, and aircraft health management systems (AHMS).

The successful candidate will play a dual role — contributing to core software and firmware development while also being hands-on in troubleshooting and resolving in-service software and firmware issues reported by business aviation customers and field service teams.

This position requires a strong background in embedded systems, real-time software, and avionics data protocols, along with a practical, investigative mindset suited for analyzing complex issues in deployed environments.

Key Responsibilities:

Software & Firmware Development

• Design, develop, and validate embedded software and firmware for aircraft communication routers, health monitoring modules, and smart sensing systems.

• Implement real-time features aligned with aviation safety, reliability, and performance standards.

• Collaborate with systems, hardware, and test engineering teams to ensure software integration with airborne components.

• Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Prepare and maintain design documentation in compliance with DO-178C and ARP
4754A processes where applicable.

Customer & In-Service Support

• Lead technical investigations of customer-reported software or firmware anomalies from in-service aircraft.

• Reproduce issues in lab environments, perform root cause analysis, and identify corrective and preventive actions.

• Collaborate closely with Field Service Representatives, Product Support Engineers, and Quality Assurance teams.

• Provide technical inputs during service bulletins, software updates, and configuration management reviews.

• Support real-time troubleshooting through log analysis, simulation, and embedded debugging tools.

Continuous Improvement & Reliability

• Contribute to the development of diagnostic and monitoring tools for AHMS and smart routers.

• Identify recurring failure modes and drive firmware or process improvements to enhance system reliability.

• Participate in post-incident reviews and support validation of corrective software releases.

• Support testing and validation campaigns for software reliability and interoperability across aircraft systems.

How to thrive in this role?

• You have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with 5+ years of experience in aviation software or embedded systems development.

• You are proficient in embedded real-time systems (RTOS or bare metal).

• You have experience with DO-178C software lifecycle or equivalent aviation software standards.

• You have knowledge of aircraft data buses and communication protocols such as ARINC 429, ARINC 664, CAN, Ethernet, RS-422, and SNMP.

• You have experience debugging with tools such as JTAG,…
