5-D Systems, a KRATOS Company, is a growing defense contractor headquartered in Round Rock, TX with over twenty-five years' experience providing systems and software engineering for Unmanned Aircraft Systems. With an ever-increasing government interest in unmanned aircraft and autonomous drone capability, we are fortunate to be experiencing a substantial backlog of projects. Currently, we are developing software for multiple unmanned, jet-powered aircraft programs that are still very early in their lifecycle.
5-D is seeking a highly motivated and dedicated individual for a software development position. The successful candidate can perform their duties as a member of a small team working in a collaborative setting. Potential tasking will be varied and may range from developing real-time software for avionics and other airborne, embedded systems to developing custom system-level test software for laboratory and flight-line environments. Candidates must have experience with developing embedded software using C++ and interfacing software with external hardware interfaces and peripherals.
Duties include, but are not limited to:
Developing software for new and existing systems for aircraft and aircraft test systems
Integrating and testing software on aircraft and in virtual high-fidelity simulation environments and supporting flight test activities
Developing design documentation for internal and external use
Working in adherence to 5-D Systems software development process
Developing software test plans and procedures to demonstrate compliance with system requirements
Participating in planning, designing, testing, and deployment of moderately complex, engineered systems and software to ensure conformance with functional specifications and customer requirements
Peer reviewing fellow team members' work
Supporting trade studies and performing design research and explorations
Ability to travel to support job duties (<25%)
