Bachelor's or advanced degree in Computer Science, Aerospace, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
Experience integrating and testing software on complex hardware systems (UAS, robotics, automotive, or similar).
Strong scripting and automation skills, with the ability to read, build, and debug C/C++.
Experience with test log analysis and data pipelines (MCAP/rosbag, PX4 Flight Review, or similar).
Familiarity with Linux, Git, and CI systems (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar).
Hands-on experience with simulation and/or hardware-in-the-loop test environments.
Willingness to work in the field, including travel to test sites and variable weather conditions.
Responsibilities
Own the integration path from branch to flight: pull feature branches, build, deploy, and validate them through SIL, HIL, and flight test.
Operate and maintain SIL/HIL simulator systems and configurations for autonomy, perception, and flight control stacks.
Develop automated regression tests and integrate them into the continuous integration pipeline.
Plan and execute flight test campaigns, including test cards, safety checklists, and data analysis.
Triage failures and reproduce field issues in the lab, while filing detailed bug reports with logs and telemetry.
Build tooling for log ingestion, flight data review, test reporting, and maintain traceability between software builds and flight results.
Benefits
Be part of a rapidly scaling startup defining the future of autonomous intelligence.
Collaborative, high-trust culture that values innovation, execution, and continuous learning.
Competitive salary, meaningful equity, and generous benefits package.

Responsibilities
Own the integration path from branch to flight: pull feature branches, build and deploy them to the vehicle, and validate them through SIL, HIL, and flight test.
Operate and maintain SIL/HIL simulator systems and configurations for the autonomy, perception, and flight control stacks.
Develop automated regression tests and integrate them into CI.
Plan and execute flight test campaigns: test cards, safety checklists, ground station operations, and data analysis.
Triage failures, reproduce field issues in the lab, and file well-scoped bug reports with logs, telemetry, and reproduction steps.
Build tooling for log ingestion, flight data review, and test reporting, and maintain traceability between software builds and flight results.
Requirements
Bachelor's or advanced degree in Computer Science, Aerospace, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
