• Development and validation of embedded control logic for FADEC systems
• Integration with engine-mounted sensors (temperature, pressure, speed, vibration)
• Simulation and testing using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and real-time testbeds
• Support fault diagnostics, redundancy logic, and fail-safe architecture
• Collaboration with avionics and telemetry teams for interface development
• Documentation of engine run profiles, test procedures, and compliance protocols
• Verification against DO-178C and MIL-STD-1553/1760 requirements (preferred)

Job Requirements

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, or Aerospace Engineering
• 3+ years experience with embedded systems for propulsion or safety-critical applications
• Familiarity with real-time OS (RTOS), V-model development, and system testing
• Working knowledge of control theory, sensors, and data acquisition systems
• Experience with Simulink, LabVIEW, or MATLAB-based validation platforms
• Hands-on experience with engine or turbomachinery testing preferred
• Knowledge of avionics data buses (ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553)
• Excellent debugging, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills

Eligibility

• Indian nationals or persons eligible to work in India
• Enthusiasm for indigenously developing world-class propulsion systems
• Candidates with experience in flight-certified control systems will be prioritized
