Job Summary

We are seeking an Avionics Software Test Engineer to support verification of safety-critical flight software. This role will focus heavily on Python-based automated verification testing, requirements-based software testing, regression testing, unit/system-level testing, test tool development, and embedded hardware/software troubleshooting.

The ideal candidate will have aerospace, defense, automotive, medical device, or another highly regulated safety-critical software testing background. Strong Python coding ability is required, and a coding exercise may be part of the interview process.

Responsibilities

• Support verification of safety-critical flight software
• Develop Python-based automated verification test scripts
• Create and maintain automated regression testing frameworks
• Develop code coverage and software testing tools
• Develop test cases for system-level and unit-level software testing
• Support embedded hardware/software integration and troubleshooting
• Document software design issues, test results, and anomalies
• Work with engineering teams to resolve test failures and design issues
• Support avionics production, integration, and verification activities
• Contribute to improvements in software verification processes, test automation, and test environments

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical discipline
• 5+ years of relevant integration, verification, or software testing experience in aerospace or another safety-critical industry
• Strong Python coding experience for automated test scripts
• Experience with requirements-based software testing
• Experience developing regression testing frameworks
• Experience with unit testing tools such as VectorCAST or similar
• Experience with embedded systems hardware and software
• Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills
• Ability to work in a safety-critical software test environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Aerospace, defense, automotive, medical device, avionics, robotics, or other regulated/safety-critical industry experience
• DO-178 software development or verification knowledge
• NI VeriStand experience
• Experience developing automated verification environments
• Experience with code coverage tools and test reporting
• Experience supporting avionics, flight controls, embedded controls, or mission-critical systems
• Experience working with hardware-in-the-loop, system integration labs, or production test environments

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a hands-on software test engineer with strong Python skills and experience verifying safety-critical embedded software. Strong candidates will be comfortable writing automated test scripts, building regression frameworks, supporting unit and system-level testing, troubleshooting embedded systems, and documenting test results in a regulated engineering environment.

Candidates from aerospace are preferred, but candidates from other safety-critical industries such as automotive, defense electronics, medical device, robotics, or embedded controls may also be considered.

Applicants should be prepared to discuss their Python experience, automated test frameworks, requirements-based testing experience, embedded systems background, and comfort level with a coding exercise.

Please apply with an updated resume and include your current location, desired hourly pay rate, work authorization status, availability to start, and best phone number.
