Design and Development: Taking a lead role in the full lifecycle of design, implementation and test of embedded software for vibration-monitoring IVHM software products, ensuring compliance with GE's engineering processes and DO-178C DAL D.
Continuous Integration and Testing: Maintaining and managing continuous software integration and testing processes to ensure software quality and reliability.
Problem-Solving: Identifying software failures and implementing effective solutions, thereby ensuring the robustness of IVHM solutions.
Mentorship: Acting as a mentor and resource for less experienced team members, fostering a culture of learning and growth within the team.

Required Qualifications
