Job description

We are seeking a skilled Software Engineer to join our team developing software for Radar and Electronic Warfare (EW) systems. The ideal candidate will have hands‑on experience building applications for mission‑critical and safety‑critical systems, with strong programming fundamentals and exposure to certification standards such as DO-178B/C. This role involves working across the full software development lifecycle — from design and coding to review and verification — in a Linux‑based embedded environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain software for Radar and Electronic Warfare systems.
• Develop application-level software using C++, Python, and Qt for embedded platforms.
• Work on Linux‑based embedded systems, integration, and optimization.
• Contribute to software development for mission‑critical and safety‑critical applications, ensuring compliance with relevant standards (DO-178B/C or equivalent).
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle: requirements analysis, design, coding, unit testing, integration, and verification.
• Conduct and participate in code reviews, ensuring adherence to coding standards, safety guidelines, and best practices.
• Collaborate with systems engineers, hardware teams, and QA to ensure software meets functional and safety requirements.
• Support debugging, troubleshooting, and root‑cause analysis of software issues in embedded/real‑time environments.
• Support software verification and validation (V&V) activities, including test case development and execution
• Document software requirements, architecture, interfaces, and test procedures to a high standard

Primary Skills (Must Have)

• Strong proficiency in C++ for application‑level development on embedded/Linux platforms.
• Working knowledge of Python for data modelling, automation and simulation support
• Good understanding of Linux internals, application development, and debugging on embedded Linux systems.
• Experience in mission‑critical and/or safety‑critical software development environments.
• Experience with Qt framework for UI/application development to create simulation tools and test tools for embedded platforms.
• Strong understanding of software development best practices, coding standards, and code review processes.
• Familiarity with version control systems, build tools, and embedded debugging/testing tools.
• Good analytical, debugging, and problem‑solving skills.

Secondary Skills (Good to Have)

• Experience developing software for Radar and/or Electronic Warfare (EW) systems, including algorithm development for Signal processing, Data Processing and Clustering algorithms.
• Exposure to or working knowledge of DO-178B/C (or equivalent safety‑critical software standards such as MIL-STD, ISO 26262, etc.).
• Experience with real‑time operating systems (RTOS) or real‑time constraints in Linux.
• Knowledge of signal & data processing concepts relevant to Radar/EW systems.
• Familiarity with software configuration management and DO-178B/C certification artifacts (SRS, SDD, test procedures, traceability matrices).
• Exposure to static analysis tools (LDRA, etc), MISRA C++ guidelines, or similar coding compliance
• Agile/Scrum: Comfortable working in an Agile development environment

Soft Skills

• Excellent communication skills.
• Result oriented and Team Player attitude
• Ability to adpt to changing environment
• Flair for continuous improvement through automation, simulation leading to increased productivity
• Adapt agile process/methodologies as needed
• Openness to work across programs/products/teams and multi‑task if needed
