Software Engineer; Test Platforms

We're 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. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

Flight Software links together the mechanical, avionics, algorithmic, and embedded worlds to actually make the airplane fly. As a Software Engineer, Test Platforms, you will develop the tooling to support the test verification processes ensuring that the aviation products we develop are safe to fly and help provide a high-fidelity training environment for our flight-test crews.

In your role as a Software Engineer, Test Platforms, you will shape the integrated verification procedures to ensure the flight application software meets all design and performance expectations. You will support the release and verification process for flight software, a critical function of our flight test program. You will work in a highly collaborative environment and coordinate with engineering teams across the company as you develop test plans, execute tests, investigate issues, and drive problems to closure.

You will also have the opportunity to develop automated test frameworks, build test analysis tools, and improve our hardware-in-the-loop testbed capabilities. This is a hands‑on role, involving the maintenance, installation, and troubleshooting of test and simulation equipment.

• 2+ years professional experience in object oriented Python
• 2+ years professional experience in object oriented C++
• 2+ years of experience testing integrated hardware/software products or mission‑critical systems
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience

• Experience working with robotics or other safety critical software
• Previous experience developing automated test cases through Git Hub Actions, Jenkins, Travis CI, or other continuous integration infrastructure
• Demonstrated ability to build or maintain a hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HITL) test environments
• Hands on experience using laboratory electrical test equipment such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and/or logic analyzers
• Strong technical, organizational, problem‑solving, and root‑cause investigation skills
• Excellent documentation and collaboration skills

As a Software Engineer Test Platforms, you will be part of the Simulation and Test Systems team. The Simulation and Test Systems team is responsible for building the infrastructure necessary to enable the development, test, and deployment of our autonomous aircraft software. You will work closely with the hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HITL) test environments and the simulation team developing the software infrastructure that enables automated and manual tests.

You will help develop and maintain essential test tools for the company, and drive verification and validation activities to ensure our product is safe, successful, and meets certification requirements.
