Full Job Description
Aerospace is at a turning point — costs are rising, supply chains are strained, and old ways of building can’t keep up. At Neon Aero, we’re breaking that mold. We move fast, think big, and combine start-up agility with aerospace expertise to design, build, and scale aircraft in ways the industry has never seen. Our team leverages automation, AI-driven tools, and a fully connected digital backbone to accelerate innovation and reduce barriers to production. Here, you won’t just take a job — you’ll help reinvent how the world flies. If you’re ready to solve complex problems, push technology further, and work alongside some of the brightest minds in aerospace, this is your chance to make a real impact. Neon Aero is building safety-critical aerospace systems that have to behave correctly every time—through power-up, normal operation, faults, and recovery. We’re looking for a Senior Embedded Systems implement state machines, mode management, safe power-up/down, fault response, and degraded operations. Build robust embedded real-time software: develop embedded C/C++ on safety-oriented MCUs (e.g., TI C2000, NXP); create scalable frameworks for control execution, diagnostics, monitoring, and communications; ensure deterministic behavior across BSP/middleware/application layers. Define and maintain system interfaces: implement and document controller/subsystem/external interfaces; write and maintain ICDs for CAN (incl. safety profiles), ARINC 825, and related buses; ensure reliable data exchange, arbitration, and fault handling. Drive model-based validation: use MATLAB/Simulink for system logic and sequencing; support MIL/SIL/HIL workflows; validate behavior with simulation and lab data across nominal, corner-case, and fault scenarios. Lead integration and test: integrate across motor control, BMS, sensors, and vehicle control; support hardware bring-up and lab/HIL debugging; develop test strategies, automation hooks, and analysis workflows for repeatable verification.
