Job Description & Duties:
- Develop safety-critical gas turbine engine control system and software to a mix of ARP4754A, DO-178C, military standards, and customer-driven compliance objectives
- Define a complete and correct set of requirements to describe functionality and constraints at the system and software levels, ensuring high-quality requirements which are validated and appropriately traced.
- Develop system and software designs, implementing those in code to perform required features, then testing those implemented components individually and as an integrated system to ensure that the resulting product fully complies with requirements.
- Develop and modify processes and methods to enable the team to achieve compliance objectives and optimal development pace
- Setting up, modify, and use continuous integration / continuous deployment (CI/CD) frameworks to enable iterative software development, software testing, and system testing of product
- Liaison with certification airworthiness authorities to explain approaches, demonstrate compliance to objectives, and close out audit findings
- Control Systems engineering work to elicit customer requirements, define and validate control system-level requirements, and decompose those requirements into component-specific requirements for electronics, software, and hardware teams.
- They also verify (test) the implemented system to perform hardware-software integration and system-level testing across a variety of test platforms, from simulations to full aircraft flight test.
- Throughout all this work Control Systems engineers ensure show compliance to ARP4754A and customer airworthiness requirements, creating the lifecycle data to prove system development is correct and complete.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in aerospace, electrical, mechanical, software, or computer engineering or computer science with 2-10 years of experience in control system/software engineering (development or testing) OR Masters Degree with experience in control system/software engineering OR JD/PhD
- 5-15 years' experience with design of safety-critical systems
- Experience with system life cycle (Requirements, Design, Verification and Release)
- Familiar with Model-based design tools, (e.g. Cameo Systems Modeler, MATLAB Simulink)
- Experience with military qualification and/or FAA certification of airborne systems
- Experience with integration (software/hardware and software/software), component level testing, and integrated system-level testing on test platforms of increasing maturity
- Familiar with continuous integration and testing frameworks, such as Jenkins
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with military qualification and/or FAA certification of airborne systems
- Experience with control of gas turbine engines
- Familiar with Model-based design tools, (e.g. Cameo Systems Modeler, MATLAB Simulink)
Military experience equivalency may substitute for some requirements.
