Software Engineer (Embedded Systems)

Potential tasking will be varied and may range from developing real-time software for avionics and other airborne, embedded systems to developing custom system-level test software for laboratory and flight-line environments. Participating in planning, designing, testing, and deployment of moderately complex, engineered systems and software to ensure conformance with functional specifications and customer requirements.

5-D Systems, a KRATOS Company, is a growing defense contractor headquartered in Round Rock, TX with over twenty-five years experience providing systems and software engineering for Unmanned Aircraft Systems. With an ever-increasing government interest in unmanned aircraft and autonomous drone capability, we are fortunate to be experiencing a substantial backlog of projects. Currently, we are developing software for multiple unmanned, jet-powered aircraft programs that are still very early in their lifecycle.

5-D is seeking a highly motivated and dedicated individual for a software development position. The successful candidate can perform their duties as a member of a small team working in a collaborative setting. Potential tasking will be varied and may range from developing real-time software for avionics and other airborne, embedded systems to developing custom system-level test software for laboratory and flight-line environments. Candidates must have experience with developing embedded software using C++ and interfacing software with external hardware interfaces and peripherals.

Duties include, but are not limited to:

• Developing software for new and existing systems for aircraft and aircraft test systems
• Integrating and testing software on aircraft and in virtual high-fidelity simulation environments and supporting flight test activities
• Developing design documentation for internal and external use
• Working in adherence to 5-D Systems software development process
• Developing software test plans and procedures to demonstrate compliance with system requirements
• Participating in planning, designing, testing, and deployment of moderately complex, engineered systems and software to ensure conformance with functional specifications and customer requirements
• Peer reviewing fellow team members work
• Supporting trade studies and performing design research and explorations
• Ability to travel to support job duties (<25%)
