Embedded Software Engineer

Summary

Join BETA Technologies and contribute to the revolution of electric aviation as an Embedded Software Engineer for Airborne Software. You will leverage your expertise in RTCA DO-178C, real-time safety-critical embedded software development, and embedded C to specify, design, implement, and integrate airborne system software. The ideal candidate possesses a broad understanding of embedded software development, from bare-metal board bring-up to high-level software design. You will be responsible for creating robust and reliable software, ensuring the highest safety standards. This role involves collaborating with a team, performing peer reviews, and informing the verification team for thorough testing. BETA encourages applications even if all minimum qualifications aren't met.

Requirements

• BS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related degree from an accredited university
• Minimum 3 years experience in real-time embedded software development
• Requirements for engineering and software architecture/design experience
• Proficiency with the C programming language
• Knowledge of Texas Instruments Hercules and/or STM ARM microcontrollers, or equivalent
• Comfortable reading electrical schematics, technical documentation, reference manuals, and datasheets
• Experience with electronics lab equipment such as programmable power supplies, signal generators, oscilloscopes, and bus analyzers
• Knowledge and awareness of the activities and outputs required for DO-178C compliance
• Good team communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to work independently and as a member of an integrated team

Responsibilities

• Analyze system requirements allocated to software for correctness, feasibility, and appropriateness from an embedded software perspective
• Develop software high-level requirements to specify the functionality and characteristics of airborne software
• Architect and design the embedded software, considering hardware constraints, design constraints, and available resources to satisfy the software high-level requirements, and specify software low-level requirements
• Develop embedded software in the C and Assembly programming languages for ARM microcontroller targets
• Integrate the software with other software and the target hardware
• Assess, measure, troubleshoot, and resolve issues with software execution and characteristics such as timing and performance
• Perform peer reviews of other team member's contributions to the software development project
• Inform the software verification team for the appropriate testing and analysis of the embedded software

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with the Texas Instruments TMS570 ARM microcontroller
• Experience with the Lauterbach TRACE32 debug/instruction trace system
• Experience with GNU GCC ARM embedded toolchain and Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio
• Experience with the Polarion ALM life cycle data management system
• Experience with embedded software for electric motor control, battery management systems, and/or flight control systems
• Knowledge of and experience with communications interfaces and devices such as SPI, I2C, CAN, ARINC 429, Analog-to-Digital Converters, Direct Memory Access controllers, and temperature, voltage, and current sensors
• Familiarity with RTCA DO-330 tool qualification objectives, activities, and outputs
• Familiarity with RTCA DO-331 model-based development objectives, activities, and outputs
