Software Engineer I

About the Role

As a Software Engineer, you’ll leverage the latest in AI-driven development to build the precision, safety, and intelligence behind tomorrow’s commercial, business, and military Flight Decks. You will be shaping avionics solutions for demanding environments. The Next Generation engineering team is redefining modern avionics, building next-generation flight technologies that push the boundaries of speed, safety, autonomy, and intelligence. This includes advanced flight-management software, high-performance embedded systems, intelligent sensor fusion, real-time avionics networks, and autonomous mission platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize embedded flight-software for safety-critical systems used in commercial aircraft and military platforms.
• Write high-performance, deterministic code.
• Conduct debugging and validation using simulation tools.
• Collaborate closely with systems engineers, hardware teams, AI/ML specialists, and flight-test personnel to deliver integrated avionics solutions meeting stringent aviation safety, performance, and certification requirements.
• Implement and support AI-assisted onboard features such as intelligent sensor fusion, anomaly detection, and autonomous control logic.
• Conduct debugging and validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, hardware debuggers, simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments.
• Ensure compliance with aviation safety standards such as DO-178, and adherence to secure coding and cyber-resilience practices.
• Participate in flight-test operations, lab testing, and simulation runs to evaluate system performance.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) major obtained by start date.
• Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, or projects.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Prior RTX internship, co-op, or work experience.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills.
• Basic understanding of aircraft operational fundamentals.
