Senior Spacecraft Software Test Engineer

As a Senior Spacecraft Software Test Engineer you will design, write, and debug tests to ensure that our flight software works as intended in orbit, working closely with a fast paced, agile software and GNC team.  Your tests will include ‘test like you fly’ and ‘day in the life’ tests to execute the software like it will be operated in orbit in both the simulation and in a 'hardware in the loop' closed loop setup, integrating with hardware emulators and probing for off nominal situations and testing all of the commands through the integrated software.

Responsibilities

• Develop test plans for the flight and ground software
• Implement flight software integration/regression tests in python
• Support debug of flight software testing in C/C++
• Support bring up of docker containers and software simulations
• Support bring up of hardware in the loop test environments
• Integrating the tests with hardware emulators for sensors and actuators
• Support the automatic running of the integration tests as part of CI/CD
• Work with GNC and ops to create ‘day in the life' tests

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science or related field
• 3+ years developing test plans and test scripts for embedded applications
• 5+ years of experience with Python and C++
