Better Autopilots for Better Aircraft

 We are looking for an Embedded software engineer to work on new and exciting aircraft-related interfaces and simulation. We’re looking for a deep embedded software engineer to develop software for closed-loop flight control system, avionics, and simulations. This involves developing test setups and programming embedded microcontrollers and other software hosted on embedded RTOS systems. As a senior embedded software engineer, there will be freedom and ability to influence the company course and product cycle. As an engineer, the work will be satisfying to see through to testing the solutions flying and being tested in real aircraft. 

This is a small company environment and we're looking for a self-starter, motivated, and "right a lot" software person who can span many areas and be a company leader at the company. The projects involve programming interfaces and hosting algorithms on bare metal, RTOS-based microcontrollers and embedded processors. Projects may also rely on commercial embedded software and open-source PX4 software. 

As part of the Bechamo team, you will be provided mentoring, growth opportunities, and extensive learning experiences. We are working with some of the best companies and researchers in the world. You will provide complementary skills to our various research and development engineers. Each engineer has a unique skillset and experience base that makes our overall team a top performing company.  At Bechamo won't be cog filling headcount, you will be highly valued and given opportunities to expand into many areas to develop a deeper and more effective understanding as a result. Come join an inspiring team to create a new world for autonomy, flight control, aircraft design and software tools.

Key skills include being able to work independently and with scientific engineers and other embedded software engineers. A background in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science is ideal. The ability debug complex electrical plus software systems using typical tools such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers is required. 

The ideal candidate will write quality software using typical software development processes, source control, continuous integration, design documentation, and code reviews. 

The position is located at the Buffalo downtown incubator, at 701 Ellicott St, Buffalo, NY. We're open to a flexible and hybrid work arrangements depending on the skill level.

Our projects employ software at the heart that enables small to manned-size aircraft, from autonomy, to flight controls, aircraft design, ground test systems, and flight test. It certainly is an exciting time to work in aerospace, the world is transforming, come join us!

Due to the nature of some of the applications, this work requires US citizenship.

Position Requirements:

• BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or related engineering field
• Ability to program in C/C++, and Python
• Experience developing and testing using closed-loop simulations
• Experience with implementing software algorithms
• Experience developing  embedded microcontroller software
• Experience with real-time operating systems
• Experience with digital electronics 
• Experience with SPI, I2C and UART interfaces

Preferred/Nice to Have:

• MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering and experience in Embedded programming
• Experience in simulation development
• Aerodynamics basics
• Experience with MATLAB
• Familiarity with open-source PX4 stack
• Control system basics
• Signal processing 
• Unmanned aircraft sensing and actuation
• Continuous Integration
