Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates POWERTECH Full time

About POWERTECH
POWERTECH is a center of excellence for propulsion technologies, specializing in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of combustion engines, expendable turbojet engines, and turbofan engines for a wide range of aerospace, defence, and autonomous applications, including fixed- and rotary-wing UAVs and other advanced platforms.

Job Summary:
The Embedded Software Principal Engineer is responsible for the architecture, development, and validation of real-time embedded software for engine control systems, including ECUs/FADECs used in gas turbine engines. The role focuses on delivering reliable, safety-critical firmware compliant with aerospace and defence standards, with close integration to the electrical hardware, performance models, and safety systems. This is a senior technical position requiring deep embedded expertise and the ability to guide software design decisions across current and future engine platforms.

Key Responsibilities:
Software Architecture & Development

  • Design and implement real-time embedded software for engine control units (ECUs), including bootloaders, task schedulers, and control logic layers.
  • Develop structured code in C/C++ adhering to safety-critical standards such as DO-178C, MISRA, and ISO where applicable).
  • Interface with system-level models and control logic derived from MATLAB/Simulink and convert them into embedded code or integrate with auto-code generators.

Integration & Testing

  • Integrate firmware with custom hardware (MCUs, FPGAs, power drivers, sensors, and actuators) in close coordination with hardware engineers.
  • Develop and execute software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests using tools such as dSPACE, NI, or Vector.
  • Lead root cause analysis and debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and diagnostic tools.
  • Ensure real-time performance and determinism under all operating conditions.

Documentation & Compliance

  • Generate software requirements, design descriptions, traceability matrices, test plans, and verification artifacts in line with DO-178C and ARP4754A standards.
  • Support safety assessments and participate in system-level FMEA, hazard analyses, and software reviews.
  • Contribute to configuration management and version control using Git, SVN, or equivalent tools.

Collaboration & Mentorship

  • Work closely with control engineers, hardware engineers, and system engineers to align software functionality with system-level goals.
  • Mentor junior embedded engineers and contribute to internal software design standards and process improvement initiatives.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 8–12 years of experience in embedded software development, preferably in aerospace, defense, or automotive safety-critical systems.
  • Proven experience with bare-metal and RTOS-based embedded software development.
  • Hands-on experience with a wide range of microcontrollers, not limited to ARM Cortex-M, TI C2000, Infineon Aurix, or similar microcontrollers.
  • Solid understanding of control systems, signal processing, and real-time constraints.

Desired Skills:

  • Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink code generation workflows (e.g., Embedded Coder).
  • Experience with communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, RS-422, and ARINC 429.
  • Exposure to model-based design (MBD) and code coverage/robustness testing tools.
  • Knowledge of cybersecurity principles for embedded systems.

Behavioral Attributes:

  • Detail-oriented and structured in approach.
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging capabilities.
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced R&D environments.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills.
