General Atomics Aeronautical Systems

Job Summary:

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), an affiliate of General Atomics, is a world leader in proven, reliable remotely piloted aircraft and tactical reconnaissance radars, as well as advanced high-resolution surveillance systems.

We are seeking a mid-level Project Engineer with a software focus to support research and development for next-generation Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Reporting to the Engineering Manager in the Advanced Programs Office, this role works within a matrix organization alongside Chief Engineers and Integrated Product Team (IPT) leaders to develop the next generation of Unmanned Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms.

Major development areas include:

+ Vehicle management software

+ Avionics software

+ Servo and actuation control

+ Ground control station software

+ Air vehicle hardware and software integration

The ideal candidate will have a software engineering background, preferably in aerospace environments, and experience with embedded and platform-level software (C/C++), as well as user interface technologies (such as Java). This role does not involve direct software development, but requires technical leadership in requirements analysis, design review, and cross-functional coordination.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

+ Drive successful delivery of software components by providing technical direction, clarifying requirements, and resolving issues.

+ Analyze aircraft-level requirements and translate them into actionable software specifications for subsystems and components.

+ Evaluate and coordinate detailed software, electrical, and mechanical designs to ensure system-level requirements are met, with emphasis on hardware-software integration.

+ Interface with internal teams and external vendors/suppliers to ensure software solutions align with overall system objectives.

+ Apply engineering principles to resolve complex software and system integration challenges, including conflicting requirements and coordination issues.

+ Prepare technical documentation and present findings to engineering staff and management.

+ Represent the organization as the primary technical contact for software-related aspects of small contracts or single component projects.

+ Provide direction and mentorship to design and technical staff, leading a team of moderately experienced professionals.

+ Maintain strict confidentiality of sensitive information and observe all applicable laws, regulations, and obligations.

+ Work safely in accordance with established procedures and practices.

+ Other duties as assigned.

We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
