Requirements

Candidates must have at least 5 years of experience with C or C++ and experience in safety-critical software verification to achieve DO-178C objectives or a comparable standard. Experience with requirements-based testing in unit test and Hardware-In-The-Loop environments is also required, along with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent experience. Preferred qualifications include experience in defining software verification strategy for DO-178C programs, leading test framework tooling development, and experience with tool qualification for DO-178C/DO-330. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are preferred. Applicants must be able to perform in compliance with U.S. export control laws.

Responsibilities

The Sr. Flight Software Engineer will drive the DO-178C verification strategy and implementation, create tooling for an effective and compliant software verification environment, and oversee and author test development. They will also perform tool qualification in accordance with DO-178C/DO-330, drive verification of embedded software that works with sensors and control systems, robustly handle system faults, and integrate with other vehicle subsystems. The role involves working directly with flight hardware, planning flight testing, and collaborating with flight software teams on the development, verification, and certification of the autonomy stack.
