Responsible for designing, developing, verifying, and maintaining safety-critical firmware for avionics and embedded systems for TCAS and transponder applications in compliance with DO-254 standards. You will work closely with hardware engineers, system architects, and certification authorities to ensure robust design assurance processes are followed throughout the product lifecycle. Ideal candidates will have a deep understanding of FPGA/ASIC development, VHDL/Verilog, and requirements-based verification, with a proven design history in developing firmware for FAA/EASA-certified aerospace systems. You will be involved with multidisciplinary project teams involving mechanical, electrical, digital/analog, RF, firmware, and software engineering in planning, designing, prototyping, and testing of avionics systems. You will additionally be responsible for mentorship of junior engineers, as well as ensuring the Surveillance product line follows industry best practices for product development. The design focus will include surveillance avionics for Air Transport, as well as General Aviation and emerging platforms, such as Urban Air Mobility (UAM) eVTOL aircraft.
