- Strong technical troubleshooting skills
- Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
- Experience with Python and Linux environments
Desired:- M.S. or PhD in computer science, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering or related technical discipline
- Demonstrated experience with MATLAB and Simulink and auto-coding methods
- Experience in the full lifecycle development of aerospace systems, including requirement definition, design solution definition, implementation, integration, verification and validation, qualification, commissioning and operation
- Experience with aerospace vehicles (e.g., Boeing 787, 777x, Orion) and model-based design (MBD) methodologies leading to certification of human spaceflight systems
