Director Nasdaq Software Engineer Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

Job Description SummaryHave you ever wondered what makes today's most advanced aviation systems so capable? Some people point to the sensors, networks, or processors. On my team we believe it's the logic and software that stitch all of those elements together into a cohesive operating system - one that can readily respond to pilot and mission needs while still delivering safe, reliable, and efficient performance across the fleet. That same software foundation also enables diagnostic, prognostic, and connectivity capabilities to better support our customers' mission readiness.
In this role, we design, develop, integrate, and lead software solutions for advanced aerospace applications, from embedded platforms on the vehicle to supporting tools and infrastructure. Work ranges from early technology development through New Product Introduction (NPI) and fielded product support, with direct impact on safety, mission effectiveness, and lifecycle cost.
If you have a passion for leading teams that deliver integrated hardware and software solutions, owning software architecture and execution, and partnering across disciplines, I'd encourage you to come check out some of the really interesting projects that we are delivering.Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Identify, develop, evaluate, introduce, and manage software engineering solutions for complex aerospace systems, with emphasis on safety-critical and high-reliability applications.
• Apply software engineering best practices and (where applicable) control and systems engineering principles to design software with predictable, verifiable behavior across a range of operating conditions.
• Serve as thesoftware technical leadfor assigned products or features, including requirements definition, architecture, detailed design, integration strategy, verification, and issue resolution.
• Define and drive software architectures, interfaces, and design patterns that enable modularity, reuse, and robust integration with hardware, controls, and systems.
• Lead planning and execution of software development activities, including estimates, schedules, risk assessments, and technical reviews, ensuring alignment with program objectives.
• Promote and enforce modern software practices such as automated testing, continuous integration, static analysis, code review, configuration management, and secure coding.
• Broadly deepen and extend knowledge of relevant software technologies (for example real-time embedded systems, model-based development, data processing, connectivity, or cyber considerations).
• Develop a solid understanding of key business drivers and program priorities; use this understanding to make sound technical tradeoffs that support Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost objectives.
• Collaborate closely with systems engineering, controls, hardware, verification, and program leadership to ensure the software solution integrates correctly into the overall system.
• Assure proper documentation of technical data generated for assigned projects and tasks, consistent with engineering policies, procedures, and applicable standards or certification needs.
• Participate as a key presenter or reviewer in technical, design, and program reviews; lead closure of significant software-related actions.
• Provide day-to-day technical leadership and mentoring for less experienced software engineers to help develop their design, implementation, and verification skills.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related STEM discipline from an accredited university or college.
• Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in software engineering for complex systems
• This role requires the successful candidate to obtain and maintain US Government Security Clearance; prerequisite for a security clearance is U.S. citizenship.

Desired Characteristics

• Strong oral and written communication skills, with the ability to explain technical software and system concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proven experience leading software development for real-time embedded systems, avionics, or other high-reliability domains.
• Familiarity with model-based development environments (for example MATLAB/Simulink or similar) and integration of auto-generated code into embedded platforms is a plus where applicable.
• Experience with or exposure to aerospace or other safety-related software standards (for example DO-178C, ARP4754A, ISO 26262, or equivalent).
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in a structured team environment, partnering effectively with systems, controls, hardware, test, and program management.
• Passion for developing robust, maintainable software, including practices such as automated testing, continuous integration, code quality metrics, and secure coding.
• Experience coaching and mentoring less experienced engineers, including support through design reviews, code reviews, and day-to-day technical guidance.
• Intrigued to work in an environment and on projects that cannot necessarily be broadly shared, and comfortable operating within appropriate security and information-handling constraints.
• Demonstrated experience acting as atechnical leadfor software on a product, subsystem, or major feature, including responsibility across the full development life cycle.
• Proficiency in one or more relevant programming languages (for example C/C++, Python, or similar), and experience with associated development environments and tools.
• Experience in designing, implementing, integrating, and testing production software, and
• Working with real-time, embedded, or safety-/mission-critical systems (e.g., aerospace, defense, automotive, or industrial).

The base pay range for this position is 109,250.00 - 146,050.00. The specific pay offered may be influenced by a variety of factors, including the candidate's experience, education, and skill set. This position is also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus based on a percentage of your base salary/ commission based on the plan. This posting is expected to close on September 14th, 2026.
