Embedded Software Engineer- Platform Software, Embedded C, Microcontrollers with Avionics

Primary Purpose of the Role

We are looking for a skilled Embedded Software Engineer with experience in bare-metal development on microcontrollers for our next generation Avionics platforms. The ideal candidate will be proficient in embedded C programming, low-level hardware interfacing, and safety-critical software development. This role involves developing, testing, and maintaining embedded software that directly controls hardware, working closely with system and hardware engineering teams to meet certification standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, integrate, and maintain embedded software components for avionics platform computers.

• Implement device drivers and hardware abstraction layers managing peripherals (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO).

• Participate in design and code reviews to ensure compliance with DO-178C standards.

• Collaborate with safety, hardware, and system engineering teams to meet project and certification requirements.

• Create software development documents such as requirements, design documents, test cases, and verification reports.

• Support debugging, verification, and validation activities following avionics safety guidelines.

Skills Required

Mandatory Skills:

Proven experience (5-8 years) in embedded software development using C language.

• Strong knowledge of microcontroller architectures and low-level programming (e.g., direct register access, interrupt handling).

• Good understanding of hardware interfaces and communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, ADC).

• Hands-on experience of DO-178C certification processes, artifacts, and objectives.

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively in an international team.

• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git, SVN) and software configuration management.

• Good communication skills in English to effectively participate in reviews and documentation.

Good to have:

• Knowledge of several microcontroller architectures (e.g., STM32, AVR) and debugging tools (e.g., ATMEL ICE, MPLAB Pickit etc.)

• Knowledge of software verification & validation tools used in avionics development (e.g., RTRT)

• Familiarity with additional programming languages such as C++ or scripting languages (e.g. Python).

• Prior experience working in certification projects or aerospace domain.

Educational Qualification

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or related field
