Avidyne is a leading provider of avionics to general and business aviation, and consists of a team of aviation enthusiasts uniquely positioned to play a key role in the next generation of personal aviation. Electric, vertical take-off, autonomous, helicopters, airplanes, experimental, you name it, we are working on avionics to make it better.
About our Software Engineering Internships
If you want to learn how to develop the most reliable, robust, error-free systems, then Avidyne is the place to work. Our quest to make the safest aviation related products, coupled with the rigorous demands of FAA mandated processes, means you will learn what it means to make software that is as close to error-free as possible.
Our systems consist of multiple processors, running numerous object-oriented applications on top of real-time operating systems.
You will work under the guidance of Senior & Principal Software Engineers in the development of our Integrated Flight Displays (IFD’s), flight controls, and surveillance products.
Avidyne's Software Engineering internships are paid, temporary positions with preference given to candidates local to central Florida.
