## Description

As a Level 2 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 product line application software for aircraft navigation systems.
 * Analyze requirements and develop software solutions that run on Real-Time Operating Systems and hypervisors such as LynxOS, Windriver VxWorks, or Green Hills Integrity.
 * Perform hands-on software/hardware integration, verification, troubleshooting, and system-level debugging using target hardware and laboratory instrumentation.
 * Troubleshoot technical issues and develop creative solutions.
 * 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.
 * Support modern DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD and automated testing.
 * Participate in peer reviews and technical design discussions.
 * Bring fresh ideas that can improve products and processes.
