Collins Aerospace needs to enhance mission critical systems for the military, specifically focusing on Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) to improve cyber security threat protection, software assurance, availability, and reliability while leveraging the latest technologies for rapid development and deployment.
Requirements
- Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS), including development, debugging, and performance optimization of embedded software applications utilizing C/C++
- Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), system decomposition, and interface control across disciplines
- Experience with software lifecycle processes, configuration control, and change management in high-integrity development environments
- Experience with multithreading, memory management, and performance optimization in complex environments
- Experience in secure coding practices
- Experience with hardware-software integration and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing
- Experience with development tool sets, including Jira, Git, Visual Studio Code, cmake
Responsibilities
- Work collaboratively both within the software team, as well as with systems and hardware engineers to design and develop our solution for aircraft operators to control and monitor mission critical VLF transmitters
- Define, evolve, and optimize software and simulation design across mission-critical embedded platforms
- Serve as technical lead for cross-functional development, driving software solutions to systems and hardware engineers while ensuring development team understands platform and hardware constraints
- Mentor and guide engineering teams in architectural best practices, modularity, code structure, and performance tradeoffs in real-time systems
- Identify areas for optimization and collaborate on architecture-level decisions along with other software Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to meet system constraints
- Define software requirements and Unified Modeling Language (UML) design diagrams within a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tool
- Support integration and verification within our automated test framework (gtest, python, JSON)
