Job description

About you:
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design, implement, test, and certify flight-critical autonomy algorithms for next-generation aerospace systems. In this role, you will develop model-based flight software using MathWorks tools and support the full lifecycle of DO-178C compliant development.

Responsibilities:
  • Design and develop flight-critical software using Simulink, Stateflow, and related MathWorks tools for model-based design.
  • Define software architecture, modeling standards, and development workflows aligned with DO-178C and DO-331.
  • Create, maintain and review software requirements, models and auto-generated code.
  • Ensure robustness and traceability through requirements-based design, verification, and certification artifact production.
  • Collaborate with engineers from cross functional groups such as systems, safety, hardware, flight controls and test to ensure product and program level needs are met.
  • Support integration into CI pipelines, including model checks, code generation, static analysis, and automated verification.
  • Contribute to planning and execution of SOI audits and certification reviews.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for software requirements, architecture and design decisions
  • Support hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), processor-in-the-loop (PIL), and flight testing activities.
