As a Software Certification Engineer, you’ll be responsible for planning and executing software and hardware lifecycle processes in compliance with RTCA DO-178C and DO-254 standards. Your focus will be on avionics, power electronics, and battery systems. You will verify complex microcontroller and FPGA designs, ensuring both functional and structural coverage is achieved.

Your work will support a wide range of product areas, including:

  • Cockpit displays and instruments

  • Local and remote sensing

  • Data conversion and storage

  • Lithium battery management

  • High-power AC/DC and DC/DC conversion systems (up to 8000W)

  • In-seat power solutions

  • Various other components critical to modern aircraft systems

To excel in this role, you’ll apply expert-level analysis and implement safety-critical software development processes, helping us deliver the high reliability and safety standards our customers expect. You’ll play a key part in reinforcing our reputation as a leading provider of avionics, instrumentation, and aircraft power solutions.

THIS POSITION MAY BE FOR YOU IF…

  • Have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science

  • Possess at least 1 year of experience with DO-178C or similar safety-critical software development standards

  • Are comfortable working hands-on with hardware, using lab equipment and tools for debugging and testing

  • Are proficient with Microsoft Office

  • Are detail-oriented, organized, and driven by results

  • Have strong problem-solving, critical thinking, and prioritization skills

  • Communicate effectively—verbally, in writing, and in cross-functional teams

WE WOULD REALLY LIKE IT IF… (but it's not a deal breaker)

  • Have experience programming in C++, C#, or Python for PC-based applications

  • Are familiar with FPGA/PLD components and languages such as VHDL or Verilog

  • Have previous experience working under DO-178C or DO-254 (or similar standards for software/hardware verification)

  • Understand and apply formal coding standards and safety-critical design principles

  • Are proficient in embedded C programming

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT...

  • Develop and review software design documentation throughout the qualification lifecycle

  • Apply safety-critical development practices: drafting plans, requirements, design/coding standards, traceability, and verification strategies

  • Perform hands-on testing and debugging of software on target hardware using lab bench tools

  • Design embedded software for microcontroller-based systems and PC tools for testing and manufacturing

  • Use modern development environments and tools to support design, documentation, and testing workflows

  • Develop and run test programs to ensure compliance with performance, safety, and regulatory requirements
