Hi Folks, I am an embedded software engineer. Strong interest to work in Avionics systems. If anybody have any idea about which companies work in Avionics system? Which groups discuss about specifies of embedded electronics systems used in aircrafts, commercial jet liners and fighter jets? Any pointers? Any site etc. would be helpful. Thnx n regards, -Neo

It would help to know in which country you are located. If you are USA
east, then you could seek out companies like ARinc who I know are involved
in this field. Don't know if they are hiring at present though. You could
also check with Boeing. If you are in UK then British Aerospace, CCLRC
Smith's Industries and GEC have some sections who are involved there. I
expect that there are many others throughout Europe. I expect that Garmin
and Eagle may have something to do with the GPS equipment involved.

The best newsgroup is probably this one. Others that may possibly be of
interest are:-

rec.aviation.military
gov.us.fed.doc.cbd.solicitations
rec.aviation.ifr
rec.aviation.misc

....but read them a bit before deciding how useful they are.

Thanks Paul.
I am located in India.
Are you working in avionics? Which processors/microcontrollers are widely
used in avionics systems? As i guess PowerPC and ARM?
What about DSPs?

I have seen others respond with suggested companies on this. As my
knowledge of companies in India is rather scant I will refrain from adding
further to that apart from mention of the Indian Space Agency (they are
doing some satellite work IIRC).

I do not work in Avionics (I am mostly energy and land transportation with
some forays into banking and medical). However, I know a few people who do
work in the industry. They use a wide range of processors including CDP1802
and RTX2000. I expect that ARM and DSP's will be quite a bit in evidence
these days.

Oh no, no, Honeywell is a lot more than warts on living room walls.
http://www.sac.honeywell.com/ for example.

India is a good place to be right now if you can believe the various rumor
sites.

PowerPC is in used in many products. Atmel delivers special tested PowerPC
parts
The Leon processor was developed for the European Space Agency.
This is an open source implementation of the Sun Sparc Architecture (Fabbed
by Atmel :-)
Not so sure if the ARM is actually used anywhere, have not seen it in
projects visible to me.
