Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Role Overview

ADASI is looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to build and support embedded applications for avionics, flight control, and other aerospace platforms. The role focuses on developing reliable real-time software that meets strict performance, safety, and latency expectations.

What You Will Do

• Create, enhance, and sustain embedded software used in avionics, flight-control, and aerospace environments.
• Develop real-time software components that deliver dependable operation with minimal delay for critical functions.
• Work with systems engineers to convert control logic and system needs into embedded code.
• Connect software with hardware platforms and verify correct operation, performance, and safety-related compliance.
• Build software in line with aerospace standards such as DO-178C and DO-254.
• Improve code efficiency for memory usage, power consumption, and runtime performance while following engineering best practices.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including design details, source code notes, and test evidence.
• Partner with hardware, systems, and QA teams to support smooth end-to-end integration.
• Investigate bugs, abnormal behavior, and performance bottlenecks through debugging and root-cause analysis.
• Keep up with new technologies, tools, and industry methods relevant to embedded and aerospace software.

What We’re Looking For

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline; a master’s degree is preferred.
• At least 8 years of experience in embedded software development, ideally within aerospace or other safety-critical environments.
• Strong practical experience with C and C++ for embedded platforms.
• Exposure to microcontroller families such as ARM or STM32 and to low-level hardware integration.
• Good knowledge of real-time operating systems and real-time design concepts.
• Hands-on experience working with communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and Ethernet.

Technical Focus

The position requires deep embedded systems capability, strong hardware-software interface understanding, and the ability to work within highly regulated, safety-sensitive development workflows.
