  • Systems-level understanding of integrated hardware/software environments  
  • Attention to detail in test execution and documentation  
  • Effective communication across multidisciplinary engineering teams  
  • Verify flight software functionality across SIL, HITL, and on-aircraft test environments  
  • Develop and execute test plans aligned with system requirements and certification objectives  
  • Author detailed test procedures for ground and flight test operations  
  • Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts within the test ecosystem  
  • Support functional, integration, and requirements-based testing for certification readiness  
  • Contribute to scalable and repeatable automated test frameworks  
  • Support the development and maintenance of simulation and test infrastructure  
  • Install, configure, and troubleshoot hardware and software components in lab environments  
  • Ensure fidelity and reliability of integrated test systems  
  • Work cross-functionally with flight software, systems, and hardware engineering teams  
  • Investigate anomalies, perform root cause analysis, and drive issues to resolution  
  • Author clear problem reports, reproduction steps, and verification artifacts  
  • 3+ years of professional experience in software testing  
  • 3+ years of experience with Python and exposure to C++ build systems  
  • 3+ years of experience testing integrated hardware/software or mission-critical systems  
  • Experience writing problem reports, test procedures, and reproducibility steps  
  • Hands-on experience with laboratory electrical test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, digital multimeters)  
  • Demonstrated experience performing root cause analysis  
  • Experience working with robotics or safety-critical systems  
  • Experience developing automated test pipelines using tools such as Gitlab CI/CD 
  • Experience with Julia language 
  • Hands-on experience developing and executing tests in SITL/HITL environments 
  • Familiarity with certification-focused testing and formal verification processes (e.g., DO-178C, MIL-HDBK-516)  
  • Strong technical documentation and cross-team collaboration skills  
  • Location & Eligibility
