• You will lead the design, development, and maintaining of flight-critical embedded software for military and commercial aviation solutions and avionics products.
• You will utilize embedded Linux operating systems, C/C++ code, networking protocols, device drivers, hardware interface tools, simulations, and integrated development environments in creative ways for this new product.
• You will specify requirements, implement software, develop test procedures, perform verification, and complete artifacts for certification.
• You will take ownership of the technical, schedule, and cost aspects of team tasks and complete work in accordance with the project plan while assisting others in task planning and execution.
• You will contribute to the development of a project plan, including estimating task size, working dependencies, and discovering risks and opportunities.
