What You'll Do
- Become the technical owner of test systems across manufacturing and engineering disciplines for our long-range drone platform (e.g. SIL, HIL, EOLT etc.)
- Architect, develop, deploy, troubleshoot, and improve testing software and assets used to validate components from avionics boards, sensors, motors, batteries, and other mechatronic assemblies.
- Develop and elevate testing standards and protocols to ensure the highest levels of quality and testing rigor to facilitate efficient and safe engineering and manufacturing changes.
- Develop a deep understanding of components under test, becoming a subject matter expert in the component’s behavior under a range of environmental, performance, and system conditions.
- Collaborate with other internal teams to organize and define our approach to data handling for all test assets. Develop automation scripts and visualization tools to streamline design and optimize production testing.
- Interface with cross-functional teams and external vendors to deploy reliable high quality test systems.
What You'll Bring
- Demonstrable history of assuming ownership of cross-disciplinary engineering problems, and driving them from inception to solution in an open-ended environment.
- Proficiency in Python and C/C++
- Experience working with and managing Linux systems
- Experience working with embedded systems
- Experience building automation systems for use in safety-critical and factory applications.
- Experience working with Git / CI and software development and validation processes in a medium to large scale organization.
- Experience developing software that interfaces directly with hardware including navigating datasheets and validating hands-on with representative hardware.
- Experience developing test plans, test requirements, and test criteria for hardware products.
- Experience using and deep understanding of common test instrumentation and data acquisition hardware.
- Experience solving complex multidisciplinary problems with little supervision on schedule as an individual or as a member of an integrated team.
- Must be authorized to work in the US.
