How does Lightcast define a skill?
ARINC Standards

ARINC Standards refers to a set of aviation industry specifications for the design, communication, and integration of aircraft systems and equipment. It is used to support consistent data exchange, interface compatibility, and system interoperability in avionics and related technical work. The skill is applied when designing, testing, maintaining, or certifying aircraft equipment to align with established industry requirements.

Aerospace Protocols refer to the communication standards and procedures used in the aerospace industry to facilitate data exchange between various systems and components of aircraft and spacecraft. This skill involves the application of these protocols to ensure reliable and secure communication within aerospace systems, supporting navigation, control, and safety functions.

DO-178B/C (Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification) refers to the standards and practices used to develop, verify, and document software for airborne systems that must meet certification requirements. It is applied in work involving safety related software planning, requirements definition, code verification, testing, and traceability of evidence. It supports compliance activities by helping teams demonstrate that software has been developed and reviewed according to required certification objectives.

Six Degrees Of Freedom refers to the ability to move an object in three-dimensional space, encompassing translation along the X, Y, and Z axes, as well as rotation around these axes. This skill is essential in fields such as robotics, virtual reality, and aerospace, where precise control of movement and orientation is required. Knowledge of Six Degrees Of Freedom enables the user to model and simulate complex movements, enhance user experiences in immersive environments, and improve navigation and control systems in various applications.

Software-In-The-Loop refers to a simulation technique that integrates software components into a virtual environment to test and validate their performance before deployment in real systems. This skill involves creating a model of the system that interacts with the software, allowing for the assessment of functionality, reliability, and behavior under various conditions. Knowledge of Software-In-The-Loop is used to identify and rectify issues early in the development process, thereby enhancing the overall quality and safety of software applications in fields such as automotive, aerospace, and robotics.
