Sr. Embedded Systems & Controls SW Engineer

This role defines how complex control systems behave as a whole. Your work ensures motors, actuators, power, and climate systems operate coherently, safely, and predictably under all conditions. You’ll have deep technical ownership, influence system architecture decisions, and help bring flight-ready control systems from concept to deployment. You will get to:

Own system-level control behavior: architect supervisory control across actuators, power sequencing, and operational modes; implement state machines, mode management, safe power-up/down, fault response, and degraded operations.

Build robust embedded real-time software: develop embedded C/C++ on safety-oriented MCUs (e.g., TI C2000, NXP); create scalable frameworks for control execution, diagnostics, monitoring, and communications; ensure deterministic behavior across BSP/middleware/application layers.

Define and maintain system interfaces: implement and document controller/subsystem/external interfaces; write and maintain ICDs for CAN (incl. safety profiles), ARINC 825, and related buses; ensure reliable data exchange, arbitration, and fault handling.

Drive model-based validation: use MATLAB/Simulink for system logic and sequencing; support MIL/SIL/HIL workflows; validate behavior with simulation and lab data across nominal, corner-case, and fault scenarios.

Lead integration and test: integrate across motor control, BMS, sensors, and vehicle control; support hardware bring-up and lab/HIL debugging; develop test strategies, automation hooks, and analysis workflows for repeatable verification.

Support safety-critical process and lifecycle: contribute to requirements, traceability, verification planning, and certification readiness (DO-178C, ARP4754/4761, or equivalent); maintain configuration control and long-term maintainability of software artifacts.

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field; equivalent professional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
