HireSetu's note

The degree or the domain, one of the two

Two profiles make it through the first screen. One is a Master's in avionics, electronics or computer science with SDLC knowledge and the DO-178B standard behind your project work. The other is hands-on time in a software development cycle for avionics or defence applications, whatever your degree specialisation was.

A computer science graduate with web or app internships and nothing aerospace anywhere on the CV sits outside both routes. If you did an avionics internship, that line goes at the top, because the listing names it as preferred.

C, C++ or Ada, and how you used Git

The languages are C, C++ and Ada for embedded software. Data structures and OOP appear next to them, which fits this kind of target: memory is tight, layouts and object design are decided with that in mind, and the reasoning has to hold under review.

GitHub shows up here as configuration management. That means baselines, branches tied to approved changes, and a traceable path from requirement to the commit that satisfied it. If your repository history is a trail of commits called fix, tidy it up before you send anything.

The reason the pace feels slow

Certified avionics software is built outwards from evidence: requirements traced into code, code traced into tests, every change reviewed and recorded. A big share of the week goes into documentation, reviews and verification, and writing code can be a small part of it.

Engineers arriving from product teams that release every fortnight find that hard going. Testability and documented code are written into this job description as deliverables, which tells you how your work gets judged.

What two years here leaves you with

DO-178C experience is a credential on its own, and it travels: civil avionics, defence electronics and unmanned systems work across Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune all recruit against it. Thales says staff move between domains, sites and countries within the group, and pick either a technical expert track or a leadership one.

The programme you land on shapes the daily work more than the job title does. A civil cockpit system and a defence mission system run to the same standard but pull on different parts of your knowledge, so the programme is a fair thing to ask about once you are in conversation with them.
