As a Software Engineer – Test Systems Development, you’ll play a vital role in building the software that powers our real-time test environments. Working at the intersection of software and hardware, you’ll help create robust, automated test systems that validate mission-critical components.

You won’t just be writing test scripts; you’ll be contributing to how we verify entire systems. Your work will support safety, performance, and compliance in environments where precision matters. If you're detail-oriented, curious, and excited by system-level thinking, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in the development of test automation software using C, C++, Python and Matlab.
• Contribute to setting up and maintaining Linux-based real-time environments for test systems.
• Support integration of software with test hardware including sensors, DAQs, communication interfaces, and avionics protocols.
• Work with cross-department engineers to implement test scripts, tools, and automated procedures for system verification.
• Participate in debugging and troubleshooting of hardware/software issues in test environments.
• Help document software, test procedures, and results in accordance with company and regulatory standards.
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and quality teams during the product development and validation cycle.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 2–3 years of experience in software development.
• Proficiency in C, C++, Python programming and MATLAB/Simulink.
• Familiarity with Linux operating systems; exposure to real-time Linux is a plus.
• Understanding of software-hardware integration and common protocols (e.g., UART, I2C, SPI).
• Strong problem-solving skills, willingness to learn, and attention to detail.
• Good communication and documentation abilities.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to real-time operating systems (RTOS) or real-time Linux frameworks (e.g., PREEMPT-RT).
• Coursework or projects involving embedded systems, test automation, or control systems.
• Familiarity with avionics protocols (e.g., ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, CAN) is a plus.
• Familiarity with certification standard (e.g., DO-178C, DO-254, DO-164 etc.)
• Experience using workbench development tools like LabVIEW etc,
• Experience using version control tools such as Git.
