Senior Embedded Software Engineer (Aerospace)

Aerospace – State of the Art Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (EVTOL)

Heka Aero LLC (DBA: HEKA)

About HEKA

Heka makes the world better for all of us. Our engineers develop cool things: planes, trains, automobiles, radios, rockets... the cooler, the better! Grow your skill set, feel the satisfaction of evolving classical engineering disciplines like mechanical, software, electrical, industrial, systems, and additive manufacturing to state of the art product development methodologies. Not cheaper, better, faster (yawn) but amazing, influential, and disruptive. Drive improvements and products to reality to improve humankind.

Our teams are hands-on, collaborative, and thought-provoking. We combine scientific methods of discovery and evolutionary engineering principals.

Take your skills to the next level:

You’ll be immersed in safety critical design (Safe Secure Software Development Lifecycle) delivering DO-178C or ISO 26262 certified software.

Learn state of the art techniques for inter and intra system communications protocols (enhance your knowledge and use of RS-422/485, CAN, ARINC-429, AFDX, Ethernet, TCP/IP, etc.)

Grow efficient use of integrated development environments leveraging simulated and hardware in the loop computing platforms.

Evolve classical development paradigms to Model Based Software development.

Achieve subject matter expertise relevant to RTCA DO-331 verification for certification.

Expand your organizational and communication skills!

Job Description

• This position will directly support avionics development for an emission free eVTOL that embraces sustainability and enhances urban air mobility (UAM) to a level never before experienced.

What you’ll do:

• Design and develop safety-critical software components for the flight software, including flight controls, battery management systems, controls, and actuators.

• Write multi-level requirements

• Software verification, validation, and testing using scripts and supporting documents

• Participate in planning, designing, scheduling, prioritizing, and tracking the project.

• Work with system engineers to decompose item requirements into high-level and low-level software requirements in compliance with DO-178C.

What you need:

• Minimum of 7 years experience

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree

• Proficiency with C

• Experience with 32-bit Microcontroller like STM32, ESP32, or any ARM Cortex

• Experience working with Microcontrollers at a low level – building BSP, drivers, bootloaders, with and without RTOS, bare-metal

• Understanding of communication standards and protocols (RS-422/485/232, CAN, ARINC-429, AFDX, Ethernet, TCP/IP, etc.)

• Familiarity with debug environments like iSystem/WinIDEA

• Experience with the documentation process and source control, Git preferred

• Experience with several SDLC methodologies

• Fluency with scripting languages like bash and Python

• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink

• Excellent organizational and communication skills

• A problem-solving constitution, with a curious mind for discovery, coupled with self-discipline and an intrinsic drive for continuous self-improvement

• A solid engineering or computer science background. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree

Nice to have:

• Experience in flight control software or a related field

• Experience developing software complying with safety standards like DO-178C or ISO 26262 to high criticality levels (DAL-A/B)

• Familiarity with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes and bus analyzers

• Experience with Model Based Software development and certification (DO-331)

• Jenkins scripts
