Job description

Join our first-class team to reinvent in-flight experience. In the role of Software Engineer I you'll play a pivotal part on our Engineering team. The Software Engineer will be responsible for analysis, design, development, debugging and modification of embedded control software for electronics applications such as controllers, PFC based 3-phase Active Rectifiers, Motor Control, DC-DC Convertors and AC Drives for harsh and hazardous environments for the commercial aerospace products. The Software Engineer will provide technical support to engineering projects related to water and waste systems and components. Using sound engineering principles, this engineer will work to ensure robust, airworthy designs are attained.

This position contributes to our vision by:
• Development embedded software for electronics systems and electro mechanical products
• Control system software requirement development and generates embedded (C or C++) code for controllers, 3-phase Active Rectifiers and Motor Control with on-board digital signal processors
• Contributes to system design and independently develops subsystem designs that meet the requirements. Considers tradeoffs between requirements, cost and reliability in the choice of a design approach
• Work with suppliers to review software design. Support software design review activities. Interface with vendors, customers and other departments on technical issues.
• Executes thorough unit test plans. Reports, analyzes, debugs and corrects anomalies. Integrates with other components, solving problems within and across subsystems, to produce a final products
• Perform RTCA/DO-178 based process tasks and generate PSAC, SDP, SVP, SCMP, SQAP, SCI, and SAS documents
• Independently finds or creates solutions to problems requiring research, resourcefulness and creativity
• Understands, follows, and promotes, ZWWS policies and procedures
• Process engineering changes in the development of water and waste systems and equipment
• Utilizes sound technical problem solving to support ongoing projects with support from higher level engineers
• Documents findings and trade studies
• Other duties as assigned
Special Skills & Knowledge
• Hands on programming skills in programming languages such as C/C++, VHDL/Verilog and/or scripting languages such as Perl/Python or Power Shell
• Knowledge in embedded systems architecture and programming
