Job Summary

Build the brain of a flying revolution. This is the ultimate challenge in embedded systems. We are seeking a world-class hardware architect and engineer to lead the development of the most critical component of our aircraft: its brain. You will be responsible for creating the high-integrity Flight Control Computer (FCC) and Mission Computer from the ground up. Your mission is to drive the architecture for our flight-critical computers and lead all aspects of their hardware and FPGA development. This role requires a deep, proven expertise in designing complex, high-reliability hardware and an unwavering mastery of the DO-254 certification process.
Responsibilities
- Architect High-Integrity Computers: Define the end-to-end hardware architecture for our flight-critical computers, specifying multicore processors, lockstep configurations, memory partitioning schemes, and redundancy management to meet DAL-A safety requirements.
- Lead Hardware Development: Drive the complete hardware development lifecycle, whether managing external vendors or leading in-house design teams.



You will be the primary technical authority.
- Lead DO-254 Verification: Rigorously audit and verify all DO-254 artifacts and design processes. You will be our internal authority ensuring all hardware work is certifiable.
- Hands-on FPGA Development: Lead the development of complex logic in FPGAs (using VHDL/Verilog) for critical functions, including sensor interfaces, image processing pipelines, and high-speed data routing.
- Perform Critical Analysis: Conduct rigorous latency and timing analysis for all functions. Define and manage memory budgets and architectures (e.g., ECC, NVM).
- Define Systems Interface: Work with the systems team (ARP4754A) and software team (DO-178C) to ensure the hardware design correctly implements all safety requirements and provides a robust platform for the software (e.g., defining the BSP hardware requirements).
- Lead Verification & Validation: Develop and
