Controls Software Engineer

Indianapolis, IN

Posted: 4/22/2025

Job Number: 356910

Category: Software & Systems SBU

A controls software engineering role is currently available in Indianapolis, Indiana. To be considered for this role, you will have a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or similarly related Engineering plus more than 3 years of experience as a software engineer.

The selected individual has the opportunity to participate in the full life cycle development of flight critical embedded software for airborne vehicles (fixed wing, rotary wing, space and/or unmanned systems). In each of these markets, customers expect and demand the delivery of high-quality work products throughout the life cycle to achieve regulatory approval using structured and regulatory approval driven processes.

The platforms we support are the 'flagships' for the future of airborne platforms. The embedded software engineer works with a multi-faceted team that executes the full life cycle software developments - requirements development, requirements management, design, code, test, integration and validation and verification related activities.

Job Duties:

1. Design and development of embedded software-centric solutions ranging from low level software to application-based software development.
2. Collaborate with other teams and customers to develop control software requirements, design, code, test, validation and verification work products for safety critical applications per DO-178C compliance objectives.
3. Requirements development, management, allocations, linking and traceability related activities.
4. Faithfully execute per the project plans, process guidance, best practices and methods, including a DO-178 compliant process for code development.
5. Develop and maintain design artifact creation throughout the life cycle.
6. Resolve complex problems through the application of technical experience and knowledge.
7. Develop and communicate complex technical ideas and information in a concise and logical way.

Required Qualifications:

1. Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computing Engineering, or similarly related Engineering, plus more than 3 years of experience as a software engineer.
2. Needs to be familiar with Model-based software design using Simulink.
3. Requirements management using process-driven databases (such as DOORs).
4. More than 2 years' experience developing model-based systems with digital engineering toolsets (MATLAB, Simulink and/or similar) throughout the software life cycle.
5. More than 2 years' experience with Python and/or C/C++.
6. Must be able to co-locate with the customer in their facility, typically a hybrid model. The rest of the time is spent in Belcan facilities.
7. Strong interpersonal skills to foster collaboration and contribute to high-performing customer work teams.
8. Due to the nature of the work performed, U.S. Citizenship is REQUIRED.

Preferred Qualifications & Skills:

1. More than 5 years' experience in development of airborne embedded software, special preference for control of gas turbine engines.
2. Experience with military qualification and/or FAA certification of airborne systems, along with gas turbine engine, propulsion, or electrical control system experience.
3. Familiarity with controls software design and/or digital logic design experience.
4. Experience with Atlassian tools is preferred.
5. Experience with integration testing, component testing and associated frameworks such as Jenkins, Rapita or Robot.
6. Experience leading small teams for development of safety critical mission software development.
7. Self-starter and ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced development environment, primarily using agile methodologies and best practices.
8. Preference will be given to systems engineers who enjoy a software centric role and demonstrate a passion for digital engineering principles.
9. Familiarity with military qualification and/or FAA certification related processes, methods and procedures, particularly DO-178C and ARP-4754.
10. Must have experience in the development of safety critical embedded software per DO-178C or similar mil standards.
