In this role you will be part of a development team for avionics foundation and platform software. The main area we are involved in is the development of avionics computers. We focus mainly on hardware device drivers and board support packages for these computers.

You will be involved in all phases of the development cycle and interact with other software engineers as well as engineers from other disciplines like hardware or FPGA development. From system specification you will write high level software requirements and derive low-level requirements and design. Most of our components will be written in C language where you contribute with safe and secure code. You will be involved in DO-178 verification activities and interact with our test teams.

You will lead the development of an avionic software component or subcomponent. Besides the development tasks you will be involved in financial and schedule planning of this component. Furthermore, you will support proposals with the design approach and budgetary estimate.

As a senior avionics foundation software engineer you should have a strong background in the area of embedded / low-level software and in real time operating systems. You should have practical experience in avionics development projects and are familiar with DO-178 processes.
