development, and embedded C skill set to specify, architect, design, implement
and integrate the embedded software for BETA’s airborne systems. The ideal
candidate will have a broad knowledge of embedded software development, from
bare-metal board bring-up and understanding of microcontroller timing and
execution characteristics to high-level software specification and design
methods and techniques. The embedded software engineer is responsible for
developing robust and reliable software to achieve the highest level of
safety-criticality in the industry.
\n
How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:
* Analyze system requirements allocated to software for correctness,
feasibility, and appropriateness from an embedded software perspective
* Develop software high-level requirements to specify the functionality and
characteristics of airborne software
* Architect and design the embedded software, considering hardware constraints,
design constraints, and available resources to satisfy the software
high-level requirements, and specify software low-level requirements
* Develop embedded software in the C and Assembly programming languages for ARM
microcontroller targets
* Integrate the software with other software and the target hardware
* Assess, measure, troubleshoot, and resolve issues with software execution and
characteristics such as timing and performance
* Perform peer reviews of other team member's contributions to the software
development project
* Inform the software verification team for the appropriate testing and
analysis of the embedded software
