Software Architect – Combat Jet & Cryogenic Engine Systems

Scope of Work

We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Software Architect to lead the design and development of mission-critical software systems for combat jet engine control and cryogenic propulsion systems. This role will involve deep collaboration across hardware, systems, AI, and embedded teams to deliver next-gen solutions integrating FADEC, digital twin systems, thermal models, and fault-tolerant diagnostics.

Nature of Work

• Architect and design real-time embedded systems for FADEC and propulsion control
• Develop software frameworks for engine health monitoring and prognostics
• Work with AI/ML engineers to embed predictive maintenance models
• Lead integration of digital twins with real-time data from testbeds and operational telemetry
• Define safety-critical software workflows under DO-178C / MIL-STD standards
• Implement secure, redundant data pipelines for cloud-edge synchronization
• Work closely with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and system testing teams

Job Requirements

• B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science, Electrical, Aerospace, or related fields
• 6+ years in software architecture for embedded, control, or aerospace applications
• Expertise in C/C++, Python, and real-time operating systems (RTOS)
• Experience with safety-critical software standards (DO-178C, MISRA C)
• Familiarity with model-based systems (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Modelica)
• Proven track record in designing scalable, modular software for multi-core systems
• Understanding of FPGA/SoC interface and real-time sensor data acquisition
• Working knowledge of cloud-infrastructure (AWS/Azure) and DevOps tools is a plus

Eligibility

• Indian nationals or individuals eligible to work in India
• Demonstrated passion for deep-tech, aerospace, or defense technology innovation
• Applicants with prior work in engine control, avionics, or space systems preferred
