Software Software Jobs in Boston, MA (NOW HIRING)

Avidyne is at the forefront of the aviation industry, designing and integrating advanced avionics into both conventional and next-generation aircraft. Our mission-Simply Flying-drives us to create intuitive, safety-enhancing products that elevate the future of flight.

Our Software Engineers develop embedded software components for Avidyne's avionics systems, contributing to the design, implementation, integration, and testing of safety-critical and feature-rich applications. Software Engineers II focus on real-time embedded development within device drivers, operating system layers, touchscreen-based interfaces, and tools that support simulation, automation, and continuous integration. Our Software Engineers II will work closely with Systems, Hardware, Test, and Certification engineering teams to ensure technical alignment and successful system integration.

• Applied proficiency in modern C++ (C++11 or later), as evidenced by contributions to production-quality software projects in embedded or real-time systems.
• Working knowledge of real-time operating systems and embedded toolchains, including cross-compilation and memory/resource constraints, as demonstrated by coursework, hands-on project work, or prior employment in embedded software development.
• Experience with low-level software/hardware interfaces, including board-level integration and peripheral device communication, as evidenced by debugging tasks, integration work, or software bring-up responsibilities.
• Demonstrated ability to isolate and resolve timing, concurrency, or interface-level software issues in embedded environments, as evidenced by participation in root cause analysis or software-hardware integration tasks.
• Experience contributing to structured debugging or issue-tracking workflows, including defect triage, test logs, and software regression tracking.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, as demonstrated by documentation of interface behaviors, bug reporting, or coordination with cross-functional engineering teams.
• Ability to track progress and manage workload across multiple development tasks, as evidenced by experience in Agile environments or structured engineering schedules.
• Demonstrated ability to work in collaborative engineering environments, including code reviews, team-based software projects, or joint system integration efforts.
• Proficiency using source control systems (e.g., Perforce, Git) and familiarity with defect tracking and change management tools, as evidenced by active contribution in version-controlled projects.

• Designing and implementing embedded software using C++.
• Developing features across operating system services, device drivers, and touchscreen-based user interfaces.
• Providing input during design and code reviews to strengthen product quality and team capability.
• Integrating and debugging software on embedded hardware and simulators.
• Investigating and resolving issues spanning software and hardware interfaces.
• Collaborating with test and systems engineers to ensure smooth integration and functional alignment.
• Conducting unit and integration testing; supporting system verification in accordance with FAA and internal standards.
• Maintaining traceability between requirements and implementation using tools such as DOORS.
• Contributing to engineering documentation and release deliverables.
• Maintaining and enhancing development tools and automation frameworks.
• Participating in code reviews and use version control and CI pipelines (e.g., Perforce).
• Participating in knowledge sharing sessions, process improvement efforts, or toolchain enhancements.
• Maintaining awareness of project timelines and priorities and communicate progress or blockers clearly.
• Supporting onboarding and mentor junior engineers and interns, contributing to a culture of learning and technical excellence.
• Contributing to a positive, collaborative team culture grounded in technical rigor and mutual respect.

• Bachelor of Science in computer/software engineering, electrical & computer engineering, aerospace engineering, robotics, mechatronics engineering, computer science, or a related engineering field, with 24 months of relevant industry experience developing embedded software using C++ for real-time systems, including debugging and integration with physical hardware.
• Alternatively, a Master's degree in computer/software engineering, electrical & computer engineering, aerospace engineering, robotics, mechatronics engineering, computer science, or a related engineering field in lieu of experience.
