*Please note, this position is contingent upon program award.* Job Summary: The Airborne Software Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, integrating, and testing software for airborne mission systems supporting DoD programs. This role focuses on C/C++ development, hardware/software integration, and test automation in secure, closed-area environments. You will work closely with systems, hardware, and test engineers to ensure reliable, secure, and high-performance software on embedded and mission computers. Key Responsibilities: Software Development & Implementation: • Design, develop, and maintain airborne software in C/C++ for mission, sensor, and avionics-related functionality. • Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following secure coding standards and program-specific guidelines. • Implement and maintain software components that interface with hardware, operating systems (primarily Linux), and networked systems. • Develop Python scripts and utilities to support automated testing, data collection, and integration workflows. Testing, Integration & Optimization: • Develop and execute unit tests and automated unit test scripts; analyze results and resolve defects. • Participate in hardware/software integration activities, including lab bring-up, interface verification, and system-level debugging. • Review and act on static/dynamic code analysis and security scan results to improve code quality and compliance. • Support performance and reliability tuning of airborne software under real-time or near real-time constraints. Troubleshooting & Support: • Diagnose complex software defects across the stack (application, OS, hardware interfaces) in lab and integration environments. • Support integration events, flight readiness activities, and defect resolution in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment. • Document issues, root cause analyses, fixes, and preventive actions in accordance with program standards. Project Management & Collaboration: • Collaborate with systems, hardware, test, cybersecurity, and program management teams to refine requirements and design solutions. • Participate in agile development processes (e.g., sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives) and provide accurate status updates. • Use GitLab and related tools for source control, code review, issue tracking, and CI integration. Documentation, Compliance & Security: • Produce and maintain technical documentation, including software design descriptions, interface specifications, and test procedures. • Ensure compliance with internal software development processes, DoD/industry standards, and cybersecurity requirements. • Operate within a secure, closed-area environment, adhering to all information assurance and security protocols. Qualifications: • Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field; or a combination of education and relevant experience. • Experience: Typically 3+ years of software engineering experience, with emphasis on embedded, real-time, or mission-critical systems. • Clearance: Secret Required • Required Skills: • Strong proficiency in C and/or C++ for embedded or mission system development. • Experience developing on Linux, including use of command line tools, build systems, and debuggers (e.g., gdb). • Hands-on hardware/software integration and debugging experience (e.g., working with drivers, interfaces, and lab equipment). • Ability to review and respond to static code analysis and security scan results. • Experience creating and executing unit tests and test scripts (Python strongly preferred for automation). • Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills in complex technical environments. • Effective communication and teamwork skills within cross-functional engineering teams. • Ability to work full-time in a secure, on-site closed area. • Preferred Skills: • Experience with: • Airborne, avionics, or aerospace/defense software programs. • Real-time operating systems (RTOS) and/or low-level hardware interfaces. • Continuous Integration (CI) using GitLab CI or similar tools. • Jira, Confluence, and similar engineering collaboration tools. • Knowledge of: • DoD software and security standards and secure coding practices. • Networking protocols, messaging, and data buses common in airborne systems. • Model-based design or simulation tools (where applicable). • Relevant certifications (e.g., Security+, embedded systems, Linux) are a plus. Work Environment: Ability to work at a desk and operate a computer for extended periods. Work performed fully on-site in a secure, closed-area facility. Work Schedule: This is a full-time position, typically working 40 hours per week. Overtime may be required depending on operational needs. Full-time, typically 40 hours per week; overtime may be required during key integration events, test campaigns, or major milestones. Infinity Benefits: Great Company Culture.
