Job Description

Position Overview:

The Embedded Software Engineer is a critical role within the aerospace industry, focusing on the design, development, and testing of embedded software (firmware). This role involves creating software that directly controls the real-time functions of physical devices such as motors, alternators, engines, valves, fans, and other aerospace-related devices and products. The engineer must have a deep understanding of the hardware being controlled and the real-time functions it performs, enabling the design, development, implementation, and testing of the necessary logic and software.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and Development: Architect, design, and/or develop small modules or large components, features, or entire embedded software products. This includes understanding the needs of the hardware and ensuring the software meets these requirements.
  • Testing and Implementation: Responsible for the thorough testing of embedded software to ensure reliability and functionality. Implement software in a manner that is optimized for the specific hardware it controls.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with hardware engineers and other team members to ensure software and hardware compatibility. Participate in all phases of the design/development cycle, from concept to release.
  • Technical Expertise: Maintain and broaden knowledge in technical disciplines such as networks, operating systems, cybersecurity, databases, or applications. Apply this expertise to develop high-quality embedded software solutions.
  • Problem Solving: Resolve issues using good technical knowledge and judgment. Consult with more senior team members for complex problems outside of established procedures.


Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college, or a high school diploma/GED with at least 6 years of experience in related fields.
  • Demonstrates an understanding of key business drivers and their impact on work.

  • Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a drug screen (as applicable).


Desired Characteristics:
  • Strong oral and written communication skills.
  • Ability to document, plan, market, and execute programs.
  • Good interpersonal skills, potentially leading a junior team.
  • For customer-facing roles, ability to develop strong customer relationships and serve as the interface between the customer and GE.


Additional Considerations:

Given the critical importance of Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost (SQDC) in the aerospace industry, with safety being the utmost priority, the Embedded Software Development Engineer must ensure that all software development activities align with these core values. This role requires a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality in every aspect of the work.
