RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform and lead design, development and support of complex hardware-in-the-loop systems for existing and new vehicle designs
• Architect and design and sustain a system of integration beds through deep understanding of system requirements, interface definition, verification plans, and vehicle hardware/software development
• Design maintainable and extensible hardware/software solutions to electrically simulate actuators and sensors used for our vehicles (PTs, RTDs, HDRMs, LVDTs, servos, IMUs, GPS, solenoids, etc.) simply and efficiently
• Develop integrated system tests to enhance cross discipline operator training and flight software verification/validation through design of component simulation systems, harnessing, fault injection mechanisms, and automated data analysis tooling
• Analyze and review data to verify the avionics system under test meets specifications and design requirements
• Perform avionics systems integration, checkout and troubleshooting of anomalies
• Plan, develop, and execute system level integration tests to ensure system requirements are met
• Write, review, and maintain test and verification plans by partnering closely with stakeholders from Avionics, GNC, Vehicle, and Propulsion teams
• Automate data collection, review, and maintain system integration test artifacts for gated reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR)
• 30% travel
