Job description

We are seeking a Mid-Level Avionic Software Engineer with hands-on experience developing safety-critical aerospace software in accordance with DO-178 standards, typically at Design Assurance Level (DAL) A or B. The ideal candidate has 5-8 years of experience and is comfortable contributing across the software lifecycle, from requirements and implementation to integration and verification, within a highly regulated engineering environment.

Responsibilities:

  • Contribute to the design, development, implementation, and verification of embedded avionic software in compliance with DO-178C (DAL A or B).

  • Implement and optimize software components and algorithms for constrained, real-time embedded environments.

  • Support system integration activities by collaborating with systems, hardware, and test engineering teams.

  • Participate in defining software architecture and interface requirements, ensuring traceability and adherence to aerospace standards.

  • Perform and participate in formal design and code reviews to ensure safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.

  • Assist with hardware bring-up, low-level debugging, and troubleshooting using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.

  • Work with embedded communication protocols (e.g., CAN, SPI, I2C, ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553) to ensure reliable system interactions.

Qualifications;

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.

  • 5-8 years of experience in embedded software development within aerospace or other safety-critical industries.

  • Direct experience working with DO-178C development, verification, and certification processes (DAL A or B strongly preferred).

  • Proficiency in C and/or C++, with familiarity in Python or other scripting languages for test or automation tasks.

  • Solid understanding of embedded systems design, RTOS concepts, timing constraints, and low-level hardware interfaces.

  • Ability to work fully on-site in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Salary Range: $100,000 - $130,000 

The actual salary offered is dependent on various factors including, but not limited to, location, the candidate's combination of job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience
