We’re building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

Flight Software links together the mechanical, avionics, algorithmic, and embedded worlds to actually make the airplane fly. As a Flight Software Infrastructure Engineer, you will own the interaction of our physical and cloud based infrastructure that allows the whole flight software stack to come together for our developers, engineers, and test pilots prior to flight.

Responsibilities

In your role as Flight Software Infrastructure Engineer, you will shape the infrastructure selection both on-premise and in the cloud. You will also lead optimization of that infrastructure to ensure the flight software build and test venues meet all design and performance expectations. You will architect the continuous integration testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and simulation infrastructure, a critical function of our flight software development program. You will work in a highly collaborative environment and coordinate with multiple stakeholders across engineering and IT functions.

Basic Success Criteria

5+ years of experience large scale or mission critical environments implementing methodologies of continuous build, integration, and delivery (CI / CD)
Experience with build automation, release automation, and configuration management tools
Minimum of 5 years experience in C++ and Python
Experience with Linux operating systems and networking concepts such as packet flow, sockets, and low-level networking (TCP/IP, DNS, and firewalls)
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience

Preferred Success Criteria

Experience with performance optimization such as identifying and resolving bottlenecks in Linux and AWS, optimizing containers to enable efficient scaling, and lowering costs
Experience working with AWS in a production environment
Experience deploying infrastructure as code with tools like Puppet, Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar
Strong technical, organizational, problem-solving, and root-cause investigation skills
Excellent documentation and collaboration skills

As a Flight Software Infrastructure Engineer, you will be part of the Simulation and Test Systems team. The Simulation and Test Systems team is responsible for building the infrastructure necessary to enable the development, test, and deployment of our autonomous aircraft software. This infrastructure consists of everything from multi-language build systems, hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testbed configuration, continuous integration pipelines, and cloud-based simulation container deployments. You will drive the optimization of our current infrastructure tooling as well as provide a roadmap for the future of our team’s development pipeline. You will help develop and maintain essential test tools for the company, to ensure our product is safe, successful, and meets certification requirements.
