## Description

As a Level 2 Embedded Software Engineer, you'll get hands-on experience across the software lifecycle while working alongside experienced engineers to build the next generation of mission computers for safety-critical avionics systems. You'll help turn ideas and requirements into reliable, flight-ready software and see your work move from development to integration, test, and certification.

You'll have the opportunity to:

 * Design, develop, integrate, test, debug, and maintain embedded software - from device drivers and boot loaders to built-in-test (BIT) libraries.
 * Analyze requirements and contribute to software designs that run on LynxOS, Windriver VxWorks, or Green Hills Integrity platforms.
 * Troubleshoot technical issues and develop creative solutions.
 * Work with software, systems, hardware, and test engineers to define and validate software-hardware interfaces for custom-designed hardware and FPGA.
 * Apply software engineering tools, processes, and best practices.
 * Support integration, verification, and validation activities in a lab environment.
 * Produce technical documentation and software artifacts to support quality and safety certification.
 * Learn new technologies and take on increasingly complex challenges.
 * Bring fresh ideas that can improve products and processes.
