  • Focus on automating testing utilizing internal Hardware in the Loop (HIL) and Software in the Loop (SIL) assets
  • Review data, collect metrics, and provide quantitative evidence to report on milestone readiness
  • Analyze vehicle logs and test data using in-house tools to trace failures for root cause analysis, documentation, and communication
  • Support the defect management process from recognition to resolution

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or STEM-related field
  • 3+ years of industry experience in testing complex systems (autonomy, robotics, and autonomous behaviors)
  • Experience with designing, developing, and executing test methodologies that scale across multiple teams
  • Strong software development experience with high-level language (e.g. Python, Pytest, REST API), along with version control systems (e.g Git) 
  • Integrated systems troubleshooting experience

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Experience with Hardware in the Loop (HIL) and/or Software in the Loop (SIL)
  • Experience with issue reporting tools (e.g. Jira, Azure Dev Ops)
  • Experience with Linux and Unix based systems
