**** Embedded Systems & Test Infrastructure Software
*** Own the design, implementation, and verification of assigned real-time systems and test infrastructure software components (e.g., command handling, telemetry, mode/state management, timing/synchronization, device control, health monitoring).
* Develop test infrastructure software to enable robust, real-time, safety-critical operation of multiple subsystems working in parallel.
* Implement and verify fault management behaviors for your scope (limit checks, safe responses, retries/timeouts, watchdog patterns, degraded modes) aligned to system hazards and mission objectives.
* Deliver configuration-controlled software releases including unit/integration tests, as-built notes, and release documentation.
** Ground Software & Mission Operations
*** Develop and maintain ground software for commanding, telemetry ingest/display, data archiving, and operator tooling, with an emphasis on reliability and repeatability for mission operations.
* Support end-to-end connectivity and compatibility testing; produce test reports and operator procedures for your scope.
* Interface with broader software teams to evaluate existing mission and product architectures and aid in the selection of appropriate software architectures.
