Job Description

Job Summary

:

We are looking for a high-caliber and motivated Embedded developer with 2–6 years of experience to contribute to the development, integration, and verification of a secure, modular cryptographic framework for Aerospace. This role is ideal for a candidate eager to gain hands-on experience in low-level C/C++ programming, kernel security concepts, and aerospace safety/security standards.

What You Will Do:

  • Write, test, and debug high-quality C/C++ code for RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS) and bare-metal environments.
  • Development of standardized peripheral drivers and Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL) for diverse chipsets
  • Integrate commercial and open-source cryptographic libraries (e.g., mbedTLS, wolfSSL) into the embedded framework.
  • Implementation of security protocols like TLS, IPsec, MACsec at the kernel or driver level on both Windows and Embedded targets.
  • Perform unit testing, integration testing, and basic performance benchmarking on cryptographic components. Assist in generating documentation and evidence for security and safety compliance
  • Implement Secure Boot, Chain-of-Trust, and Hardware Root of Trust (TPM/HSM) integration on embedded targets
  • Participate in code reviews, focusing on adherence to secure coding standards (MISRA, CERT).
  • Update and maintain technical design documents, test reports, and configuration files. Proactively learn aerospace standards and new cryptographic techniques.
  • Lead the documentation and validation for DO-178C (DAL A/B) and DO-326A/356 certification.

    • Qualifications You Must Have

  • 2–6 years of professional experience in embedded software development.
  • Strong proficiency in C/C++ for bare-metal, RTOS and Windows Driver environments
  • Experience with Windows kernel-mode programming (e.g. drivers etc.)
  • Foundational knowledge of networking concepts (TCP/IP) and hands-on experience implementing or integrating MACsec, IPsec, and TLS protocols demonstrated
  • Proficient in low-level driver development for communication protocols including Ethernet, CAN, SPI, I2C across various diverse microcontroller/processor families
  • Expertise in implementing cybersecurity controls on hardware platforms, including secure boot mechanisms, secure update, secure provisioning, and secure logging etc
  • Proven track record integrating commercial crypto libraries (e.g., mbedTLS, wolfSSL, OpenSSL derivatives) and/or developing custom primitives for embedded systems
  • Exposure to Windows kernel-mode programming, specifically driver development
  • Excellent debugging, and security validation skills for windows and embedded environment
  • Proactive learner with the analytical mindset required to develop expertise when navigating unfamiliar technical environments

    • Qualifications We Prefer:

  • Experience with aerospace software development and familiarity with aerospace communication protocols, safety/security standards
  • Expertise in developing abstraction layers for driver interoperability across chip vendors, including Hardware Abstraction Layer(HAL) design for peripherals
  • Knowledge of the Windows network stack and driver development.
  • Hands-on experience with hardware security primitives and tools for formal verification
  • Experience with tech documentation skills for certification workflows

    • Collins Aerospace, a Raytheon Technologies company, is a leader in technologically advanced and intelligent solutions for the global aerospace and defence industry. Collins Aerospace has the capabilities, comprehensive portfolio and expertise to solve customers’ toughest challenges and to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving global market.
