As a Flight Software Verification Engineer, you will verify embedded software for aircraft systems, develop verification strategies, and write tests to ensure safety and compliance. You will collaborate with flight hardware, plan tests, and help bring automated aircraft technology to fruition.
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.
As a Flight Software Verification Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will automate the operation of highly complex aircraft systems. Our Flight Software teams are deeply involved in all aspects of the development and certification of the Reliable Robotics autonomy stack, and play a central role in bringing our aircraft to life.
Responsibilities
In your role as a Flight Software Verification Engineer, you will verify bare metal embedded software that works with sensors & control systems, robustly handles system faults, and integrates with other vehicle subsystems. You'll drive the verification strategy and tooling to provide an effective and compliant environment for software verification; and write tests to demonstrate correct and safe behavior. You'll also have the opportunity to work directly with flight hardware in the lab and on the plane, plan flight testing, and watch your software fly an aircraft.
Basic Success Criteria
- 5+ years experience with C or C++
- Professional experience in safety-critical verification of software to achieve DO-178C objectives or comparable standard
- Experience with requirements based testing in unit test and Hardware-In-The-Loop environments
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent experience
Preferred Success Criteria
- Thorough understanding of computer architecture, operating systems and networking
- Experience developing software for safety critical applications
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Flight Software links together the mechanical, avionics, algorithmic, and embedded worlds to actually make the airplane fly. The core nature of the role offers the opportunity to interact with teams and components across the entire automated aircraft and to specialize in the areas most exciting to you.
Must be willing to travel up to 10% of the time.
The estimated salary range for this position is $160,000 to $200,000/annual salary + cash and stock option awards + benefits. At Reliable Robotics, we strive to provide competitive and rewarding compensation based on experience and expertise, as well as market conditions, location, and pay equity.
In addition to base compensation, Reliable Robotics offers stock options, employee medical, 401k contribution, great co-workers and a casual work environment.
