Software Test Engineer

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Flight Software Test Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be a part of the flight application software team. This team is responsible for building the embedded application software that computes the vehicle navigation solution, calculates the guidance commands, and drives the automated flight controls to fly the aircraft. You will drive the flight test verification processes ensuring that the product is safe to fly and provide a high-fidelity training environment for the flight-test crew.

Responsibilities

In your role as a Flight Software Test Engineer, you will shape the integrated verification procedures to ensure the flight application software meets all design and performance expectations. You will support the release and verification process for flight software, a critical function of our flight test program. You will work in a highly collaborative environment and coordinate multiple engineering teams across the company as you develop test plans, execute tests, investigate issues, and drive problems to closure. You will also have the opportunity to develop automated test cases and frameworks, build test analysis tools, and improve our hardware-in-the-loop testbed capabilities. This is a hands-on role, involving the maintenance, installation, and troubleshooting of test and simulation equipment.

Basic Success Criteria

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of experience testing integrated hardware/software product or mission-critical systems
• Fluent with C/C++ and Python
• Strong technical, organizational, problem-solving, and root-cause investigation skills
• Excellent documentation and collaboration skills

Preferred Success Criteria

• Previous experience managing software release, verification, and change processes
• Experience developing robotics or other safety critical software
• Previous experience developing automated test cases
• Demonstrated ability to build or maintain a hardware-in-the-loop test environment
