Multi-Core Systems Engineer

Mandatory: Avionics Systems Engineer, multi-core analysis, AC 20 193 (previously CAST 32A), hardware development, hardware interference

What You Will Do:

• Perform multi-core analysis aligned with AC 20 193 guidance on a multi core system.
• Develop or execute micro benchmarks/benchmarks on the target multi core system.
• Analyze system performance and undesired behavior caused by hardware or software interference and drive mitigation solutions.

Qualifications You Must Have:

Experience with multi core processor products in safety-critical environments.

Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) experience in safety critical environments.

Embedded hardware development and verification experience.

Experience or knowledge of AC 20 193 (previously CAST 32A).

Experience defining hardware interference channels.

Must possess at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related field and 5 years of progressive experience as a Systems Engineer or related role. In the alternative, must possess at least a master's degree or its equivalent in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related field and 3 years of experience as a Systems Engineer or related role would be acceptable.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Embedded system design and verification experience.
• Experience analyzing system behavior and performance impacts in multi core architectures.
• Background developing benchmarks or micro benchmarks for embedded systems to test and analyze a multi-core platform.
• Must possess at least 3 years of experience with experience with safety-critical development standards, including: DO-178C, DO-254, DO-297, AC20-193, or ARP4754B.
• Experience with FAA CAST-32A objectives, including investigation of multi-core interference channels, documentation and analysis of results, as well as methods to support independent third party certification
• Avionics systems are currently undergoing a transition from single core processor architectures to multiple core (multi-core) processors. This transition enables a reduction in size, weight and power (SWaP) and the use of common processing platforms, providing multiple potential benefits for programs in terms of reduced costs, spares management and obsolescence. However, avionics hardware and software certification policies and guidance are evolving as research and experience is gained with creating certification evidence for multi-core processor architectures.
