At Beta Technologies, we apply our intellectual curiosity, passion for aviation, and commitment to sustainability toward a shared mission of revolutionizing electric aviation. Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture.
The Embedded Software Engineer for Airborne Software will apply their knowledge of RTCA DO-178C, best practices for real-time safety-critical embedded software development, and embedded C skill set to specify, architect, design, implement and integrate the embedded software for BETA’s airborne systems. The ideal candidate will have a broad knowledge of embedded software development, from bare-metal board bring-up and understanding of microcontroller timing and execution characteristics to high-level software specification and design methods and techniques. The embedded software engineer is responsible for developing robust and reliable software to achieve the highest level of safety-criticality in the industry.
How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:
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
Minimum Qualifications we are seeking:
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
Candidates are encouraged to apply even if they don’t meet all minimum qualifications
Above and Beyond Qualifications that will distinguish you:
Experience with the Texas Instruments TMS570 ARM microcontroller
