Principle Embedded Software Engineer



Job description

About


POWERTECH is a center of excellence for propulsion technologies, specializing in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of combustion engines, expendable turbojet engines, and turbofan engines for a wide range of aerospace, defence, and autonomous applications, including fixed- and rotary‑wing UAVs and other advanced platforms.

Job Summary


The Embedded Software Principal Engineer is responsible for the architecture, development, and validation of real‑time embedded software for engine control systems, including ECUs/FADECs used in gas turbine engines.

The role focuses on delivering reliable, safety‑critical firmware compliant with aerospace and defence standards, with close integration to the electrical hardware, performance models, and safety systems.

This is a senior technical position requiring deep embedded expertise and the ability to guide software design decisions across current and future engine platforms.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement real‑time embedded software for engine control units (ECUs), including bootloaders, task schedulers, and control logic layers.

  • Develop structured code in C/C++ adhering to safety‑critical standards such as DO‑178C, MISRA, and ISO 26262 (where applicable).

  • Interface with system‑level models and control logic derived from MATLAB/Simulink and convert them into embedded code or integrate with auto‑code generators.

  • Integrate firmware with custom hardware (MCUs, FPGAs, power drivers, sensors, and actuators) in close coordination with hardware engineers.

  • Develop and execute software‑in‑the‑loop (SIL) and hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) tests using tools such as dSPACE, NI, or Vector.

  • Lead root‑cause analysis and debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and diagnostic tools.

  • Ensure real‑time performance and determinism under all operating conditions.

  • Generate software requirements, design descriptions, traceability matrices, test plans, and verification artifacts in line with DO‑178C and ARP4754A standards.

  • Support safety assessments and participate in system‑level FMEA, hazard analyses, and software reviews.

  • Contribute to configuration management and version control using Git, SVN, or equivalent tools.

  • Work closely with control engineers, hardware engineers, and system engineers to align software functionality with system‑level goals.

  • Mentor junior embedded engineers and contribute to internal software design standards and process improvement initiatives.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.

  • 8–12 years of experience in embedded software development, preferably in aerospace, defence, or automotive safety‑critical systems.

  • Proven experience with bare‑metal and RTOS‑based embedded software development.

  • Hands‑on experience with a wide range of microcontrollers, not limited to ARM Cortex‑M, TI C2000, Infineon Aurix, or similar microcontrollers.

  • Solid understanding of control systems, signal processing, and real‑time constraints.

Desired Skills

  • Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink code generation workflows (e.g., Embedded Coder).

  • Experience with communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, RS‑422, and ARINC 429.

  • Exposure to model‑based design (MBD) and code coverage/robustness testing tools.

  • Knowledge of cybersecurity principles for embedded systems.

Behavioral Attributes

  • Detail‑oriented and structured in approach.

  • Strong problem‑solving and debugging capabilities.

  • Comfortable working in fast‑paced R&D environments.

  • Excellent communication and documentation skills.
