Job Description – Avionics Software Lead Engineer (Safety & Mission-Critical Systems) **Experience:** 5 – 8 Years **Location:** Bengaluru, India **Department:** Embedded Product & Avionics Systems **Reports To:** Senior Technical Manager / Product Head – Avionics & EW Systems Role Overview The role requires an experienced Avionics Software Engineer with strong technical expertise in Safety-Critical and Mission-Critical Embedded Software Development. The candidate will be responsible for owning software modules or subsystems, leading a small development and verification team, and ensuring compliance to DO-178B/C, DoD-2167A, IEEE-12207, and related aerospace standards. The position demands hands-on development, integration, and testing within real-time embedded environments with exposure to Embedded GUI frameworks. Key Responsibilities 1. Software Module Ownership & Development
- Design, implement, and maintain avionics software modules aligned to system and software requirements.
- Develop real-time applications under RTOS environments (VxWorks, QNX, Integrity, RTLinux, PikeOS).
- Implement software in C/C++ or ADA ensuring adherence to DO-178C Level B/C guidelines.
- Prepare and maintain software design descriptions (SDD), low-level requirements (LLR), and code traceability.
- Participate in peer code reviews, static analysis, and software build verification.
- Support integration of GUI frameworks (SCADE) for cockpit and operator displays. 2. Verification & Validation
- Develop and execute unit, integration, and module-level tests per DO-178B/C, IEEE 12207 , DoD-2167 objectives.
- Ensure requirement-based testing, robustness, and code coverage analysis using LDRA / VectorCAST / RTRT / Cantata.
- Support preparation of verification plans (SVP) and test reports (STR, SVR).
- Contribute to certification documentation and ensure audit readiness. 3. Real-Time System Integration
- Integrate developed modules with hardware, FPGA, and system interfaces.
- Troubleshoot and resolve integration-level issues with real-time determinism and synchronization considerations.
