Airborne Platform Software Engineer

Build the software that powers the future of connected aviation.

At Gogo, we’re transforming how people connect in the sky by building technology that powers connectivity aboard business aircraft around the world.

As our Airborne Platform Software Engineer, you’ll design, develop, and test production-quality software for Gogo Business Aviation airborne products on a Linux platform. You’ll work closely with an experienced development team and partners across the company to deliver new features, enhance existing software, and support our next-generation 5G air-to-ground solution.

If you’re a collaborative software engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, using data to guide decisions, and driving work through completion, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do

Design and develop software features for new products and extend existing products, including selecting and integrating third-party and open-source technologies
Analyze data, logs, and events to enhance products and troubleshoot issues
Expand aviation system capabilities using ARINC 429 and ARINC 717 protocols
Develop and maintain Linux-based software using Python, Linux scripting languages, Go, C, and C++
Create high- and low-level design documentation
Conduct design reviews and participate in code inspections
Develop automated unit tests and support software quality
Estimate design and feature-development work, track project stories and tasks, report status, and deliver work on schedule
Continually improve software design, development, and testing processes
Help establish and maintain software build environments and source-code repositories for assigned projects

What You’ll Bring

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
7–12 years of software development experience
Strong software architecture and design background, especially in Linux environments
Expert application-development skills in Linux using Python and/or Linux scripting languages and C/C++; Go experience may also be relevant
Expert ability to analyze data and develop solutions based on findings
Experience developing web services and other APIs
Strong technical leadership skills, with the ability to champion new ideas and concepts within a senior development team
Ability to provide leadership and direction in a senior software engineering team
Strong estimation and project-delivery skills
Experience with Jenkins automation build and test environments
Software configuration-management experience using Git
Experience supporting products in the field

Even Better If You Have

You Don’t Need To Check Every Box Below. If You Bring Experience In Some Of These Areas, We’d Especially Like To Hear From You

Experience with avionics and ARINC protocols
Software engineering experience using open-source packages in data communications or telecommunications systems
Linux networking experience, including routing, iptables, traffic shaping, quality of service, DHCP, and DNS
Experience with 802.11ac wireless networking
Knowledge of Linux container concepts, especially Docker
Experience with Linux kernel drivers
Experience in aviation, data communications, or telecommunications environments

Why Gogo?

At Gogo, we’re transforming how people connect in the sky.

Our teams build and support technology that powers connectivity aboard business aircraft around the world. That means the work you do here has a destination beyond a screen, spreadsheet, or meeting; it becomes part of an experience happening thousands of feet above the ground.

You’ll work alongside people who know their craft, challenge ideas, solve difficult problems, and care about building what comes next.

Ready to help shape the future of connected aviation? Come aboard.
