Role and Responsibilities
As a Software Specialist for communication systems, you will be responsible for the design, development and integration of the software components used to simulate various equipment or stimulate real hardware components. The communication system allows the flight crew to speak together and interact with others in a virtual world. The communication simulation team is responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining the software solutions that simulate the communication systems, including many types of radios that communicate within a virtual world. The virtual world contains many objects, including but not limited to ground towers and entities that emit emergency signals. The system also allows the communication between intercom channels (crew to crew), direction finding via radio signals and generation of cockpit audio warnings. For all these types communication systems, the development team is responsible to interface with the virtual environment and to model the different aspects of the equipment, such as: Power up sequence, built-in-test, malfunctions, electrical connections, system modes and interfaces to other aircraft systems.
