    Preferred Skills and Experience:
    • Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) or embedded Linux for real-time applications.
    • Familiarity with low-level hardware interfaces (e.g., CAN, RS422, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC429, etc.), and software development for embedded applications.
    • Experience with fault-redundant design as well as safety-critical software development processes, such as DO-178C or MIL-516C. Knowledge of avionics systems, flight control systems, and navigation systems.
    • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
