Senior Embedded Systems & Controls Software Engineer

JD Senior Embedded Systems & Controls Software Engineer Role Overview We re seeking a Senior Embedded Systems & Controls Software Engineer with strong systems intuition and a passion for building robust safety-critical control software. This role sits at the intersection of embedded software system-level control logic and hardware interfaces owning the supervisory control layers that coordinate actuators motor drives and vehicle-level systems. You will architect and implement system control logic state machines sequencing diagnostics and communication interfaces that ensure safe deterministic operation across complex aerospace systems. While this role interfaces closely with motor control BMS and vehicle control software its primary focus is system behavior integration and correctness not fast inner-loop control. Key Responsibilities System Control Architecture & Logic Design and own system-level control architecture spanning actuator control power sequencing and operational state management. Develop supervisory logic state machines and mode management that coordinate lower-level motor control and hardware subsystems. Define and implement safe power-up power-down fault response and degraded operating modes consistent with aerospace system requirements. Embedded Software Development Develop and maintain embedded software in C/C on real-time microcontroller platforms (e.g. TI C2000 NXP or comparable safety-oriented MCUs). Architect scalable and maintainable software frameworks supporting control execution communication diagnostics and monitoring. Work across BSPs middleware and application layers to ensure deterministic behavior and system robustness. System Interfaces & Communication Define implement and document system interfaces between controllers subsystems and external equipment. Author and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) for communication protocols such as CAN (including safety-oriented profiles) ARINC 825 and other aerospace or automotive buses. Ensure reliable data exchange arbitration and fault handling across system boundaries. Model-Based Design & Validation Use MATLAB/Simulink to develop and validate system-level control logic sequencing and coordination strategies. Support model-based design workflows spanning MIL SIL and HIL environments. Leverage simulation and lab data to validate system behavior across nominal corner-case and fault scenarios. Integration Test & Bring-Up Lead system-level integration activities across motor control BMS sensors and vehicle control software. Support hardware bring-up HIL testing and lab validation diagnosing issues that span software hardware and system interactions. Develop test strategies automation hooks and data analysis workflows to ensure repeatable verification. Safety Process & Lifecycle Support Support development of safety-critical embedded software by following disciplined software development processes. Contribute to requirements definition traceability verification planning and certification readiness activities aligned with standards such as DO-178C ARP4754/4761 or equivalent safety frameworks. Maintain configuration control and long-term maintainability of system software artifacts. Required Qualifications 5 years of experience developing embedded control software for complex real-time systems Strong proficiency in embedded C/C and real-time software architecture Experience designing system-level control logic state machines and sequencing Hands-on experience with communication protocols such as CAN (and derivatives) SPI Ethernet or ARINC Experience with model-based design tools (MATLAB/Simulink) and SIL/HIL testing Proven ability to integrate and debug software across hardware firmware and system boundaries Strong analytical skills and system-level problem-solving ability Preferred / Bonus Experience Experience with TI C2000 NXP or similar real-time control microcontrollers Prior work on safety-critical or regulated systems (aerospace automotive industrial) Exposure to certification-oriented development processes (DO-178C ARP4754/4761 ISO 26262 concepts) Experience defining software architectures and development processes for growing teams Background spanning motor control BMS or vehicle control systems Experience supporting production launch field issues and system-level validation Why This Role Matters This role defines how complex control systems behave as a whole. Your work ensures that motors actuators power and climate systems operate coherently safely and predictably under all conditions. You ll have deep technical ownership influence system architecture decisions and play a key role in bringing flight-ready control systems from concept to deployment
