• Experience and familiarity with system safety assessments, failure hazard analysis, and certification/test plans.
• Multiple levels will be considered for this position with a minimum of 2 years of relevant experience.

We are looking for inquisitive and driven engineers with a passion to innovate. You’ll need a Bachelor’s degree, with a major in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Computer Science being preferred. Advanced degrees will be considered as additional experience. Related degrees with relevant experience will be considered.
