Flight Software Engineer

Join to apply for the Flight Software Engineer role at Reliable Robotics Corporation
. We are building safety‑enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient, and fundamentally transformative to the way goods—and eventually people—move around the planet. Our mission‑driven engineering team spans aerospace, robotics, and self‑driving car expertise to make this future a reality.

As a Flight Software Engineer you will develop highly deterministic C++ software in a bare‑metal environment that works with sensors and control systems, robustly handles system faults, and integrates with other vehicle subsystems. You’ll drive requirements and implement excellent unit tests, and have the opportunity to work directly with flight hardware in the lab, plan flight testing, and watch your code fly an aircraft.

• B.S. Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 2+ years professional programming experience in C or C++
• Professional experience developing software for high performance embedded or safety‑critical applications

• Experience using advanced C++ language features in production code
• Thorough understanding of computer architecture, operating systems, and networking
• Ability to work in a self‑directed manner in a fast‑paced environment
• Experience developing software for aerospace applications
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

The estimated salary range for this position is $155,000 to $215,000 annually, plus cash and stock option awards and benefits. In addition to base compensation, we offer stock options, employee medical coverage, 401(k) contributions, great coworkers, and a casual work environment.
