Follow all health and safety procedures, take reasonable precautions during work, immediately report accidents and incidents, and participate in incident investigations.
Partner with a seasoned team member to receive training and mentoring, then progressively take ownership of tasks and contribute to core development activities.
Support projects focused on military and naval applications, including control software for helicopter handling systems and associated vision and winch subsystems.
Participate in code reviews and apply structured coding practices to ensure reliability, maintainability, and adherence to project standards.
Communicate technical solutions and design decisions clearly to project management and the broader development team.
Collaborate closely with software developers, electrical engineers, and other technical staff to integrate embedded software with hardware and system-level designs.
Apply software engineering principles to routine development, debugging, and testing tasks, using appropriate tools and methodologies.
Use version control systems to manage source code, branches, and releases in a disciplined and traceable manner.

Essential Skills

Minimum of 1 year of experience in embedded C development for embedded systems.
Experience or knowledge of VxWorks real-time operating system.
Experience in the aerospace or defense industry, working on safety-critical or mission-critical systems.
