About the role

  • Our team leverages automation, AI-driven tools, and a fully connected digital backbone to accelerate innovation and reduce barriers to production.
  • Here, you won't just take a job - you'll help reinvent how the world flies.
  • If you're ready to solve complex problems, push technology further, and work alongside some of the brightest minds in aerospace, this is your chance to make a real impact.

Responsibilities

  • Design and maintain real-time firmware architecture for safety-critical embedded control platforms.
  • Own timing-sensitive firmware layers, interrupt structure, task scheduling, execution order, and deterministic data flow between hardware, drivers, middleware, and application software.
  • Develop firmware frameworks that support reusable control execution, communication, diagnostics, monitoring, and system integration across multiple projects.
  • Develop and maintain embedded software in C/C++ on real-time microcontroller platforms such as TI C2000, NXP, or comparable safety-oriented MCUs.
  • Own board support packages, peripheral initialization, device configuration, and low-level hardware abstraction layers.
  • Develop and debug drivers for peripherals and interfaces such as CAN, SPI, Ethernet, ADC, PWM, GPIO, timers, watchdogs, and other MCU peripherals.
  • Support hardware bring-up, board validation, and low-level debugging across software and hardware boundaries.
  • Diagnose issues involving MCU configuration, clocks, interrupts, peripherals, sensors, motor drive interfaces, BMS interfaces, and communication links.
  • Work closely with electrical, controls, and systems teams to ensure the embedded firmware correctly supports actuator control, power electronics, sensors, and vehicle-level hardware.
  • Implement robust embedded communication infrastructure for protocols such as CAN, CAN derivatives, SPI, Ethernet, ARINC 825, and other aerospace or automotive buses.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience developing embedded firmware for complex real-time systems
  • Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++ and real-time firmware architecture
  • Experience with real-time microcontroller platforms such as TI C2000, NXP, or comparable safety-oriented MCUs
  • Strong understanding of MCU peripherals, interrupts, timers, watchdogs, memory, clocks, ADC, PWM, GPIO, and communication interfaces
  • Hands-on experience with communication protocols such as CAN, CAN derivatives, SPI, Ethernet, or ARINC 825
  • Proven ability to integrate and debug software across hardware, firmware, and system boundaries
  • Experience supporting hardware bring-up, lab validation, and HIL testing
  • Experience with TI C2000, NXP, or similar real-time control microcontrollers
