System Design & Architecture
• Participate in software architecture design, requirements analysis, and technical documentation.
• Support system-level design for new defense platforms and avionics systems.
Verification, Validation & Certification
• Perform unit testing, integration testing, and debugging on target hardware (PowerPC/ARM/x86 processors).
• Work in alignment with DO-178B/C or similar aerospace/defense development standards.
• Prepare test procedures, verification reports, and traceability artifacts.
Hardware Interaction
• Collaborate with hardware teams for board bring-up, interface testing, and system integration.
• Work on communication protocols such as ARINC-429, MIL-STD-1553B, RS-422/485, CAN, Ethernet, SPI, I²C.
Documentation & Compliance
• Generate complete project documentation as per defense and customer requirements.
• Ensure compliance with security, IP protection, and configuration management norms.

• Embedded C/C++ programming expertise with real-time concepts.
• Experience in BSP development, device driver development, and low-level debugging.
• Exposure to real-time scheduling, memory management, multi-threading, and synchronization.
Defense/Aerospace Experience
• Experience developing software for safety-critical or mission-critical systems.
• Understanding of avionics architectures, displays, mission computers, or communication subsystems.
Tools & Technologies
• JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes.
• GIT/SVN, JIRA, Polarion/DOORS or any requirement management tool.
• Familiarity with model-based development (Simulink) is a bonus.
4. Education
• B.Tech / M.Tech in Electronics, Computer Science, Electrical, Aerospace Engineering, or related fields.
5. Key Competencies
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work in a multidisciplinary defense environment.
• Excellent documentation discipline.
• Proactive, self-driven, and able to work independently under tight development cycles.
6. Preferred (Good to Have)
• Experience with Linux or QNX RTOS in addition to VXWorks.
• Exposure to cybersecurity for embedded systems.
• Experience in integration with FPGA-based systems.
• Understanding of display processing pipelines or avionics HMI systems.
