๐ Tech Stack
๐ผ About This Role
You'll architect supervisory control layers that coordinate actuators, motor drives, power, and vehicle-level systems for aerospace platforms. You'll own the state machines, sequencing, diagnostics, and comms that keep the whole system coherent and safe. This role defines how complex control systems behave as a whole โ you'll influence architecture decisions and bring flight-ready systems from concept to deployment.
๐ฏ What You'll Do
- Architect supervisory control across actuators, power sequencing, and operational modes.
- Develop embedded C/C++ on safety-oriented MCUs with deterministic real-time behavior.
- Define and maintain controller/subsystem/external interfaces and ICDs for CAN, ARINC 825.
- Use MATLAB/Simulink for system logic, sequencing, and MIL/SIL/HIL validation.
๐ Requirements
- 8+ years building embedded control software for complex real-time systems.
