## Description

We’re hiring an experienced Systems Engineer – Avionics Software Development to support the design, development, integration, and verification of mission-critical software for advanced UAV platforms. This is an opportunity to work on complex avionics systems across flight control, communications, navigation, sensor integration, and certification support.

About the role

• You will help define software requirements, design real-time avionics software architectures, and support the full software development lifecycle for safety-critical aerospace systems.

• You will collaborate with systems, hardware, test, cybersecurity, and quality teams to deliver robust, compliant software solutions for UAV environments.

• You will contribute to integration, simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, verification, validation, and certification documentation aligned with DO-178C/ED-12C expectations.

What you’ll do

Key responsibilities include:

• Define and manage avionics software requirements aligned to operational, safety, and certification objectives.

• Design robust real-time software architectures for flight control, communications, navigation, and sensor-related systems.

• Develop embedded avionics software using C/C++ or comparable languages and frameworks.

• Integrate and test software using simulation environments, automated test scripts, test benches, and HIL platforms.

• Lead verification and validation activities across unit, integration, and system levels.

• Prepare and contribute to certification documentation and participate in technical design reviews.

• Mentor junior engineers and support continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and technical leadership.

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline; a master’s degree in Avionics Software, Embedded Systems, or Systems Engineering is advantageous.

• Extensive experience in embedded or avionics software development within aerospace, defence, UAV, or safety-critical environments.

• Strong understanding of the full software lifecycle, software assurance, and certification-focused engineering practices.

• Experience with DO-178C/ED-12C, INCOSE ASEP/CSEP, or embedded-systems cybersecurity credentials would be beneficial.

Technical experience

• C, C++, embedded software development frameworks, RTOS platforms, and avionics middleware.

• Configuration and lifecycle tools such as Git, Jenkins, JIRA, and DOORS.

• Simulation, automated testing, integration test benches, and hardware-in-the-loop systems.

• Protocols such as ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, CAN, and Ethernet.

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• A systems thinker with strong avionics domain knowledge and a safety-first mindset.

• Confident in debugging, root-cause analysis, documentation, and stakeholder communication.

• Comfortable working in collaborative, cross-functional, fast-paced engineering teams.

If you have deep avionics software expertise and want to contribute to advanced UAV technology in a mission-critical environment, we’d be interested in hearing from you.
