Job Description

Job Description –Avionics Software Design Manager (Safety & Mission-Critical Systems)

**Experience:** 15+ Years

**Location:** Bengaluru, India

**Department:** Embedded Product & Avionics Systems

**Employment Type:** Full-Time

Role Overview

The position demands a highly experienced skilled in Safety-Critical and Mission-Critical Avionics Software Development, responsible for end-to-end design, development, integration, verification, and certification of embedded software running on real-time platforms. The candidate will lead multiple avionics software projects conforming to DO-178C, and MISRA C/C++ guidelines and will also drive embedded GUI applications and real-time system frameworks across airborne and ground-based avionics systems.

Key Responsibilities

1. Software System Architecture & Design

- Define and own the software system architecture, including real-time control loops, communication stacks, and mission-critical logic.

- Lead model-based and structured design approaches compliant with DO-178C Level A/B/C.

- Prepare and maintain software requirements (SRS, SDD, ICD) aligned with system-level specifications and traceability.

- Architect and design Embedded GUI/HMI frameworks for airborne operator consoles and cockpit systems.

- Drive design optimization for performance, determinism, and fault tolerance under constrained embedded environments.

2. Software Development & Integration

- Lead the complete software lifecycle — requirements, design, coding, integration, testing, and verification.

- Ensure compliance with RTCA/DO-178C and DO-330 (Tool Qualification).

- Implement robust RTOS-based applications (VxWorks, Integrity, QNX, RTLinux, etc.).

- Develop device drivers, middleware, and data bus interfaces (MIL-STD-1553B,



ARINC-429, CAN, RS-422, Ethernet).

- Integrate GUI frameworks (Qt, Embedded Wizard, LVGL) into mission systems with real-time responsiveness.

- Utilize code generation and model-based tools (MATLAB/Simulink, SCADE, or Enterprise Architect) where applicable.

3. Verification, Validation & Certification

- Lead unit, integration, and system-level testing as per DO-178C verification objectives.

- Oversee requirement-based testing, robustness testing, and code coverage analysis.

- Manage certification deliverables (PSAC, SDP, SVP, SQAP, SCI, SAS, etc.) and ensure alignment with CEMILAC/DGCA/FAA audit processes.

- Conduct reviews (SRR, SDR, PDR, CDR, TRR) and ensure corrective action closure.

4. Program & Team Management

- Plan and monitor project schedules, resource allocation, and milestone tracking using MS Project / PLM tools.

- Lead and mentor software engineers, test engineers, and GUI developers, ensuring adherence to process compliance.

- Manage multiple concurrent avionics software projects ensuring on-time delivery and quality.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, FPGA, QA, and system engineering teams for integrated testing.

5. Customer & Vendor Management

- Interface with customers (HAL, ADA, DRDO, DGAQA) for technical reviews and software acceptance.

- Manage offshore/onsite vendor teams for software modules or test tool development.

- Ensure vendor deliverables meet contractual and certification requirements.
