Work Schedule:

Hybrid - Buffalo, NY

As a Test Equipment Software Engineer, you will...

  • Design, develop, and maintain realtime software used to verify, validate, and qualify flight control computers, aircraft actuation systems, sensors, and avionics subsystems.

  • Implement deterministic realtime behaviors using RTOS platforms, HIL simulation frameworks, and custom test architectures that ensure reliable and repeatable performance.

  • Develop and integrate HardwareintheLoop (HIL) test environments, including realtime processors, digital and analog I/O, data acquisition systems, avionics communication buses (ARINC 429, MILSTD1553, CAN, Ethernet), and custom instrumentation.

  • Collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, systems, and test engineers to design test interfaces, emulators, faultinjection capabilities, and hardware/software integration points.

  • Perform root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and debugging of complex realtime test environments, resolving timing discrepancies, communication faults, and hardware/software interaction issues.

  • Generate clear and compliant documentation, including software design artifacts, verification procedures, configuration management records, test reports, and traceability documents.

  • Ensure software quality, reliability, and maintainability by adhering to Moog's Test Equipment Software Engineering Process (TESEP) and industry best practices.

  • Support the integration, commissioning, and continuous improvement of aerospace test equipment platforms used for qualification, regression testing, and safetycritical verification.

  • Work collaboratively across Moog teams and locations-supporting global engineering, test, and integration activities as required.

To be considered for the Test Equipment Software Engineering role, here's what you'll need to bring with you:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field.

  • Proficiency in realtime embedded or test system programming using tools such as dSPACE/ControlDesk, C, C++, Python, or similar frameworks.

  • 10+ years of experience developing or sustaining realtime aerospace Test Equipment software.

  • Experience with realtime operating systems (VxWorks, QNX, RT Linux, or equivalent deterministic platforms).

  • Handson experience working with avionics communication protocols (ARINC 429, MILSTD1553, CAN, Ethernet, UART, SPI).

  • Strong understanding of control systems, analog/digital I/O, and realtime data acquisition architectures.

  • Ability to interpret system requirements, interface control documents (ICDs), schematics, and aerospace technical specifications.

  • Ability and willingness to travel and collaborate across Moog sites and time zones.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience developing HIL simulators, automated test stands, or custom realtime test solutions for aerospace hardware.

  • Familiarity with modelbased design environments such as MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, or equivalent.

  • Understanding of aircraft flight control architectures, closedloop control algorithms, and actuation system behavior.

How We Care for You:

  • Financial Rewards: great compensation package, annual profit sharing, matching 401k and the ability to participate in Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Flexible Spending and Health Savings Accounts

  • Work/Life Balance: Flexible paid time off, holidays and parental leave program, relocation assistance
