Heka makes the world better for all of us. Our engineers develop cool things: planes, trains, automobiles, radios, rockets the cooler, the better. Grow your skill set and feel the satisfaction of evolving classical engineering disciplines like mechanical, software, electrical, industrial, systems, and additive manufacturing to state-of-the-art product development methodologies. Not cheaper, better, faster (yawn) but amazing, influential, and disruptive. Drive improvements and products to reality to improve humankind.
Our teams are hands-on, collaborative, and thought-provoking. We combine scientific methods of discovery and evolutionary engineering principles.
This position is contingent upon contract award.
What you'll do:
- Design and develop safety-critical software components for the flight software, including flight controls, battery management systems, controls, and actuators.
- Write multi-level requirements
- Software verification, validation, and testing using scripts and supporting documents
- Participate in planning, designing, scheduling, prioritizing, and tracking the project.
- Decompose item requirements into high-level and low-level software requirements in compliance with DO-178C.
What you need:
- Minimum of 7 years of experience
- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree
- Experience with battery management systems
- Proficiency with C
- Experience with 32-bit Microcontroller like STM32, ESP32, or any ARM Cortex
- Experience working with Microcontrollers at a low level - building BSP, drivers, bootloaders, with and without RTOS, bare-metal
- Understanding of communication standards and protocols (RS-422/485/232, CAN, ARINC-429, AFDX, Ethernet, TCP/IP, etc.)
- Familiarity with debugging environments
- Experience with the documentation process and source control, Git preferred
- Experience with several SDLC methodologies
- Fluency with scripting languages like bash and Python
- Experience with MATLAB/Simulink
