Software Verification Engineer

Quest Defense Systems and Solutions develops aerospace, defense, space, and medical device products, including safety- and mission-critical engineering solutions. The Software Verification Engineer will verify and validate software for RTOS-based, multicore SoC architectures, ensuring compliance with DO-178C and system-level requirements while supporting integration, system testing, and software verification in complex hardware/software environments.

Responsibilities:

• Verifying and validating software running on RTOS-based, multicore SoC architectures, ensuring compliance with DO-178C and alignment to system-level requirements
• This includes hands-on work across integration, system test, and software verification (HLR/LLR) in complex hardware/software environments

Requirements:

• • Bachelor's degree in software engineering or a related engineering discipline
• • 2+ years of relevant Software Engineering experience in avionics or electronic controls embedded development in a safety or mission-critical environment (ie: aerospace, military)
• • Experience developing or developing on top of an RTOS (real-time operating system), as well as familiarity with RTOS concepts
• • Experience with developing software to DO-178C standards
• • Experience with C, Python
• • Experience with Integration and Test at both system levels (HW/SW integration) as well as software test (HLR/LLR)
• Due to the nature of this work, all applicants must be U.S. Citizens
• • Experience with Asymmetric Multiprocessing
• • Experience with debug concepts on complex multi-core SoC
• • Master's degree in software engineering or a related engineering discipline
• • Experience with ARM processors, associated System on Chip features, and ARM toolsets like ARM Dev Studio IDE and ARM DStream Probe
• • Experience developing device drivers/board support packages
• • Familiar with data transfer protocols (ARINC 615A, ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, PCIe, LIN, CAN)
• • Familiar with security concepts (authentication, authorization, confidentiality)
• • Familiarity with actuators and sensors like stepper/torque motors, solenoids, relays, VDT, VRT, etc
• • Experience BVA (boundary value analysis), SCA (structural coverage analysis), DCCA (data and control coupling analysis)
• • Experience with DO-330 Tool Qualification
• • Good soft skills: communication, ability to perform active listening, self-manage, raise/elevate roadblocks and hiccups, communicate clearly, and take direction
• • Good general understanding of engineering principles to be able to adapt to new projects/environments and come up to speed quickly
• • Team leadership experience, including project technical leadership and/or software functional leadership
• • Experience in the adoption and/or integration of emerging technologies (e.g., generative AI, automation platforms, digital assistants) into day-to-day operations for continuous improvement
• Location: Remote (Strong preference for hybrid/onsite in Endicott, NY)
