About this job
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 Sr. Flight Software Verification Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be a key contributor to verification of embedded software that works with sensors & control systems, robustly handles system faults, and integrates with other vehicle subsystems. You’ll work directly with flight hardware in the lab and on the plane, plan flight testing, and watch your verified software fly an aircraft. Our Flight Software teams are deeply involved in all aspects of the development, verification, and certification of the Reliable Robotics autonomy stack, and play a central role in bringing our aircraft to life.
Responsibilities
Be a key contributor to the DO-178C verification strategy and implementation
Create tooling to provide an effective and compliant environment for software verification
Oversee and author test development
Perform tool qualification in accordance with DO-178C/DO-330
Basic Success Criteria
5+ years experience with C or C++
Experience in safety-critical verification of software to achieve DO-178C objectives or comparable standard
Experience with requirements based testing in unit test and Hardware-In-The-Loop environments
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent experience
Preferred Criteria
Experience in defining software verification strategy for DO-178C programs
Experience leading test framework tooling development
Experience with tool qualification for DO-178C/DO-330
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Flight Software links together the mechanical, avionics, algorithmic, and embedded worlds to actually make the airplane fly. The core nature of the role offers the opportunity to interact with teams and components across the entire automated aircraft and to specialize in the areas most exciting to you.
This position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls. An offer of employment will be contingent upon the applicant’s capacity to perform in compliance with U.S. export control laws.
All applicants are asked to provide documentation that legally establishes status as a U.S. person or non-U.S. person (and nationalities in the case of a non-U.S. person).
