Role: Embedded Systems & Controls Software Engineer
Location: Irvine, CA
Duration: 6 Months
Required Skills: Embedded Systems & Controls Software Engineer
Job Description:
JD Senior Embedded Systems & Controls Software Engineer
Role Overview
We re seeking a Senior Embedded Systems & Controls Software Engineer with strong systemsintuition and a passion for building robust, safety-critical control software. This role sits at theintersection of embedded software, system-level control logic, and hardware interfaces, owningthe supervisory control layers that coordinate actuators, motor drives, and
vehicle
-levelsystems.
You will architect and implement system control logic, state machines, sequencing, diagnostics,and communication interfaces that ensure safe, deterministic operation across complexaerospace systems. While this role interfaces closely with
motor
control, Client, and vehiclecontrol software, its primary focus is system behavior, integration, and correctness, not fastinner-loop control.
Key Responsibilities
System Control Architecture & Logic
Design and own system-level control architecture spanning actuator control, power sequencing,and operational state management. Develop supervisory logic, state machines, and modemanagement that coordinate lower-level motor control and hardware subsystems. Define andimplement safe power-up, power-down, fault response, and degraded operating modesconsistent with aerospace system requirements.
Embedded Software Development
Develop and maintain embedded software in C/C++ on real-time microcontroller platforms (e.g.,TI C2000, NXP, or comparable safety-oriented MCUs). Architect scalable and maintainablesoftware frameworks supporting control execution, communication, diagnostics, and monitoring.Work across BSPs, middleware, and application layers to ensure deterministic behavior andsystem robustness.
System Interfaces & Communication
Define, implement, and document system interfaces between controllers, subsystems, andexternal equipment. Author and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) forcommunication protocols such as CAN (including safety-oriented profiles), ARINC 825, andother aerospace or automotive buses. Ensure reliable data exchange, arbitration, and faulthandling across system boundaries.
Model-Based Design & Validation
Use MATLAB/Simulink to develop and validate system-level control logic, sequencing, andcoordination strategies. Support model-based design workflows spanning MIL, SIL, and HILenvironments. Leverage simulation and lab data to validate system behavior across nominal,corner-case, and fault scenarios.
Integration, Test & Bring-Up
Lead system-level integration activities across motor control, Client, sensors, and vehicle controlsoftware. Support hardware bring-up, HIL testing, and lab validation, diagnosing issues thatspan software, hardware, and system interactions. Develop test strategies, automation hooks,and data analysis workflows to ensure repeatable verification.
Safety, Process & Lifecycle Support
Support development of safety-critical embedded software by following disciplined softwaredevelopment processes. Contribute to requirements definition, traceability, verification planning,and certification readiness activities aligned with standards such as DO-178C, ARP4754/4761,or equivalent safety frameworks. Maintain configuration control and long-term maintainability ofsystem software artifacts.
Required Qualifications
5+ years of experience developing embedded control software for complex real-time systems
Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++ and real-time software architecture
Experience designing system-level control logic, state machines, and sequencing
Hands-on experience with communication protocols such as CAN (and derivatives), SPI,Ethernet, or ARINC
Experience with model-based design tools (MATLAB/Simulink) and SIL/HIL testing
Proven ability to integrate and debug software across hardware, firmware, and systemboundaries
Strong analytical skills and system-level problem-solving ability
Preferred / Bonus Experience
Experience with TI C2000, NXP, or similar real-time control microcontrollers
Prior work on safety-critical or regulated systems (aerospace, automotive, industrial)
Exposure to certification-oriented development processes (DO-178C, ARP4754/4761, ISO26262 concepts)
Experience defining software architectures and development processes for growing teams
Background spanning motor control, Client, or vehicle control systems
Experience supporting production launch, field issues, and system-level validation
Why This Role Matters
This role defines how complex control systems behave as a whole. Your work ensures thatmotors, actuators, power and climate systems operate coherently, safely, and predictably underall conditions. You ll have deep technical ownership, influence system architecture decisions,and play a key role in bringing flight-ready control systems from concept to deployment.
