As a Flight Software Test V&V Engineer on the Simulation and Test Systems team, you will develop the test cases to support verification processes ensuring the aviation products we develop are safe to fly and provide a high-fidelity training environment for flight-test crews.

• Test and deploy autonomous aircraft software within the Simulation and Test Systems team.
• Architect, build, and maintain hardware and software infrastructure to verify aircraft performance prior to flight testing.
• Verify flight software functionality across diverse test environments (software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, on-aircraft testing).
• Author and execute test procedures for on-ground aircraft testing.
• Design, build, and maintain automated test scripts to support functional testing and requirements-driven software tests for FAA certification.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to develop test plans, execute tests, investigate issues, and drive problem resolution.
• Maintain, install, and troubleshoot test and simulation equipment.

• 3+ years of professional experience testing software.
• 3+ years of professional experience with Python and exposure to C++ build systems.
• 3+ years of experience testing integrated hardware/software products or mission-critical systems.
• Experience authoring problem reports, test reproducibility steps, and procedures for internal team collaboration.
• Hands-on experience with laboratory electrical test equipment (digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
• Demonstrated experience with root cause investigations.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.

• Experience with robotics or other safety-critical software.
• Experience developing automated test cases through CI tools (Git Hub Actions, Jenkins, Travis CI, or similar).
• Ability to author and exercise complex test procedures in hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) environments.
• Excellent documentation and collaboration skills.
• Experience with DO-178C formal software test requirements.
