Embedded Software Engineer

The Embedded Software Engineer will play a critical role in ensuring the quality and reliability of ground-based radio navigation aids and systems. This role focuses on designing and executing comprehensive automated and manual test plans to validate system functionality, performance, and reliability, while also contributing to broader software engineering and testing activities in a highly regulated aviation environment., * Design and develop detailed system-level Design Qualification Test plans and procedures, incorporating both automated and manual testing methodologies.

• Develop automated tests using C, C++, Python, or MATLAB to streamline repetitive testing tasks and improve test efficiency and consistency.
• Conduct manual system-level testing to validate system behavior, performance, and reliability, ensuring thorough coverage of functional and non-functional test scenarios.
• Utilize lab test equipment, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, vector signal generators, and other specialized tools to perform system testing, measurement, and analysis.
• Perform integration testing across various product components to verify seamless interoperability and compatibility between hardware, software, and FPGA elements.
• Conduct integration testing with customer interfaces to ensure systems align with customer requirements, expectations, and operational environments.
• Identify and diagnose root causes of system faults, performance issues, and test procedure problems through systematic analysis, debugging, and troubleshooting techniques.
• Execute verification and validation activities to confirm that system requirements are met and that solutions comply with relevant industry standards and regulations, including DO-278.
• Develop and optimize manufacturing test procedures to support consistent product quality and reliability throughout the production process.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, hardware engineers, FPGA engineers, and manufacturing personnel, to investigate and resolve issues discovered during testing.
• Adapt testing strategies and software engineering approaches to evolving technologies, methodologies, and industry standards in the aviation and safety-critical domains.
