Embedded Avionics Software Engineer

• Senior/principal-level embedded software architect with 12–18+ years of experience in avionics, UAVs, robotics (safety-critical embedded platforms).
• Deep expertise in RTOS-based embedded systems, firmware architecture, BSP/HAL development, mixed-criticality systems, and Linux mission-computing integration.
• Strong understanding of autopilot architectures, distributed embedded systems, redundancy concepts, secure boot, firmware updates, and fault containment strategies.
• Experienced with communication stacks and middleware such as CAN/CAN FD, MAVLink, DDS/ROS2, and Ethernet-based embedded networking.
• Able to assess technical feasibility, architectural risk, integration complexity, and realistic development effort early in the project lifecycle.
• Provides high-value guidance on system partitioning, firmware/software boundaries, scalability, maintainability, and long-term platform strategy.
• Valuable in shaping high-level baseline requirements and identifying hidden technical and program risks during early customer workshops.
