Position Summary:Revolution Space is looking for an experienced dynamic and growth-oriented Software Test Engineer to contribute to the development of our space propulsion products through system verification. This engineer is expected to integrate with the existing technical team to:
- Execute testing, debugging, and troubleshooting of software applications
- Collaborate with other members of the software team including developers, and software system engineers
- The position is full-time, and available as remote or as a hybrid role in Boston, MA or Lanham, MD.
Responsibilities:- Design, document, and execute comprehensive test plans (unit, integration, and system-level) and procedures for flight and ground software.
- Perform validation of Flight and Ground SW functional tests at the unit, integration, system, and acceptance levels
- Validate embedded software via test automation where possible
- Ensure software compliance through hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) or simulation-in-the-loop (SITL) with actual hardware endpoints or avionics rigs as needed
- Verify system, subsystem, and component-level requirements for space system interfaces with spacecraft power, thermal, and command & data handling subsystems.
- Communication with software developers and engineers to verify requirements, review code, and implement testability features
- Identify, develop, maintain, and utilize automated test scripts within a continuous integration (CI) environment where possible
- Manage requirement traceability (requirements 12 design 12 verification) in tools such as MS Excel, DOORS, or equivalent.
- Lead or support verification planning and closure activities, including verification-by-analysis, similarity, inspection, test, and demonstration.
- Collaborate closely with propulsion design engineers, test engineers, and mission assurance teams to define test objectives, success criteria, and acceptance plans for vacuum chamber, thermal-vacuum, and life-cycle testing.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor19s degree in computer science/engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, or related technical discipline.
- 7+ years of total experience with a minimum of four years in software testing, preferably in aerospace
