•
Integrate algorithms into embedded applications for navigation, control, and data processing.
•
Debug software directly on custom hardware in collaboration with hardware engineers.
•
Perform unit, integration, and system-level testing of embedded software.
•
Ensure compliance with safety-critical aerospace standards and real-time system requirements.
•
Participate in system architecture design and software code reviews.
