Senior Specialist- Embedded (Aerospace)

The architect will define modular, partitioned architectures that support mixed-criticality applications within Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) environments. Collaboration with systems engineering, hardware design, and embedded software teams is essential to optimize architectures for electrical power conversion, hydraulic control, and advanced flight systems. In addition to compliance, the role will drive innovation in electrification and digital transformation, leveraging modern software development practices, cloud-based simulation, and digital twin technologies to accelerate design and validation. Create and refine product propositions for the aerospace division by collaborating with cross-functional teams to identify customer needs, define value propositions, and develop innovative solutions that align with business objectives and market trends. Define and maintain end-to-end software architecture for aerospace systems, including electrical power management, actuation, and avionics platforms. Develop architecture artifacts such as interface specifications, design patterns, and integration strategies to guide development teams. Ensure architecture supports scalability, maintainability, and certifiability under aerospace standards (DO-178C, ARP4754A, ARINC 653). Collaborate with hardware and systems engineers to define and validate hardware-software interfaces for power conversion units, PDUs, and actuation systems. Incorporate electrical, thermal, and timing constraints into software design to ensure seamless integration. Drive strategies for embedded controllers, sensors, and communication protocols (CAN, AFDX, ARINC). Implement processes aligned with DO-178C objectives, ensuring traceability from requirements through verification.
