WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Work with Hivemind and Hivemind on X engineering to test and integrate software and hardware systems preparing for simulation milestones and flight tests. 
• Support on-site flight test campaigns that involves system configuration, running Hivemind software, and data post-analysis.  
• Continuously run and review tests at a regular cadence to evaluate the stability of software, triage issues, report bugs to appropriate RE’s, and recommend test and flight readiness based on results. 
• Work closely with cross functional engineering teams to create test plans, review test cases, incorporate feedback, and execute tests with team approval. 
• Contribute to the creation, maintenance and communication of test documentation, including test plans, test results and post flight-test reports. 
• Create test team data Dashboards to provide high-level results visibility and data analysis. 
• Script tests in Python to test complex Hivemind on X software and hardware systems (with software emphasis). 
• Create SW based tools to improve flight test monitoring and debugging (Python and/or C++). 
• Become a subject-matter-expert for running Hivemind tests on our Software-In-The-Loop and Hardware-In-The-Loop systems. 
• Run simulated flight tests to validate Hivemind / Hivemind in X subsystems and review test run data. 
• Develop and execute test plans to validate Hivemind SW and HW systems.  
• Identify, analyze, and document software defects, issues, and inconsistencies in software behavior. 
• Drive continuous improvement in testing methodologies, tools, and processes.
