SUMMARY:

This is a fantastic opportunity within the Fluid Systems Division for a Software Engineer to develop embedded real-time software on control units produced for aircraft systems following the DO-178 Aerospace Standard. Tasks will include analyzing and defining software requirements, documenting design, developing and integrating software C code onto micro-processor based embedded hardware platform. The Software Engineer will plan, estimate, organize and lead software development activity.

Analyzes, researches, designs, and tests component parts, processes, or systems to develop new and/or improve core products. Designs products or systems of diverse/difficult scope and complexity using engineering principles based on assigned engineering domain (e.g. mechanical; electrical; chemical, etc.). Develops and recommends solutions to a variety of complex engineering requirements to ensure that design objectives are met, including required program scope, cost and schedule constraints. Projects at this level are assigned to develop in depth knowledge and skills and to build knowledge of the organization, processes, and customers.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities

• Develops complex conceptual and detailed design specifications by analyzing product performance and customer requirements. Investigates design factors such as function, materials, performance, interchangeability, non-recurring and recurring cost, operational efficiency, and contractual requirements. Performs diverse and complex product development, modification, and evaluation of components, subsystems, and systems by applying engineering principles and developing new or unique analysis tools as required.
• Applies scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure the outcome and consequence of design alternatives. Interprets and validates test results for accuracy and precision. Oversees and monitors product acceptance procedures and parameters to achieve customer and product reliability and safety standards (e.g. failure analysis). Utilizes and interprets predictive models to simulate and verify design concepts.
• Completes technical project elements (e.g. preparation of product or system layout; defining system architecture; creating software development plans; etc.) as assigned. Develops critical data and analysis necessary to present technical product and/or system proposals to customers.
• Contributes to the completion milestones associated with specific projects (e.g. create functional diagrams and system layouts; review detailed drawings and schematics; define data structure, interfaces and programming logic; analyze material requirements; research customer data item requirements). Maintain efforts within defined cost and schedule constraints, including statusing and root cause/corrective actions of associated variances. May act as Control Account Manager for projects applying Earned Value Management.
• Reviews product specifications and/or modifications to ensure clarity, completeness, form, fit, function, and conformity to standards and procedures. Troubleshoots design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and recommends revisions, engineering change orders, and improvements to engineering management or the project team.
• Provides technical information for review with product engineering teams applying consistent engineering practices, standards, and documentation methods (e.g. structured design process; customer design reviews). Writes supporting documentation for procedures and technical reports. Conducts complex analyses and devises tests to validate performance in the development of new products, methods, materials or processes. Completes required documentation, generates detailed reports, creates customer proposals and presentations and/or change proposals.
• Determines required actions, performs or directs completion of tasks, and publishes findings and/or results.
• Compiles and analyzes operation, test, and research data, develop acceptance, engineering evaluation, development and qualification/certification test plans, procedures, and reports.
• May communicate with customers to identify new business opportunities, present Parker product capabilities, and clarify customers' technical requirements. May write technical proposals for customers by reviewing and interpreting specifications and requirements.
• Mentors or serves as a resource to share specialized knowledge with others. Establishes goals and objectives and tracks performance required to complete projects.
• Updates professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reviewing technical publications, and/or participating in professional associations.
• Lead team in Developing software designs and implementation in "C" of moderate scope and complexity by analyzing and validating software requirements, specifications, and performance thresholds.
• Please note that the salary range information is only applicable for NC. Compensation is based on a variety of factors, candidate experience, qualifications, location as well as market and business considerations. We aim to offer a base pay that aligns with the midpoint of our salary range.Pay Range $86,341 to $143,982.
