GNC Test Engineer

Salary Range: 132000 to 155000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)

Responsibilities

• Requirement-Based Testing: Develop unit and integration tests derived from software and system requirements. Trace requirements to the Simulink model using the Simulink Requirements Toolbox
• Test Harness Development: Build test harnesses in Simulink Test and design both positive and negative test cases for software components
• Model-Based Testing: Perform MIL, SIL, and PIL testing of flight software models and components, ensuring robustness across all stages of the development lifecycle.
• Automation & Regression: Automate regression testing pipelines and maintain clear records of test results.
• Coverage & Standards: Deliver coverage metrics consistent with the allocated safety integrity level and ensure conformance to modeling guidelines.
• Tool-Based Analysis: Conduct static and dynamic code analysis using tools such as Polyspace, and perform model checks with Model Advisor.
• Collaboration: Work closely with GNC, firmware, systems engineering, and flight test teams to ensure verification processes align with overall program needs.
• Continuous Improvement: Actively contribute to improving verification methodologies, test infrastructure, and best practices.
• Documentation: Maintain thorough documentation of test procedures, results, and compliance evidence.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional experience in software testing, model-based design, or embedded systems verification.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, or related engineering discipline.
• Proven experience with MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, Simulink Test, Model Advisor, Polyspace, and m-scripting.
• Strong understanding of requirement-based testing and white-box testing.
• Hands-on experience performing MIL, SIL, and PIL testing within a model-based development environment.
• Familiarity with version control (Git), requirements management tools (e.g., JAMA, Simulink Requirements Toolbox), and issue tracking systems (e.g. Jira).
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with multidisciplinary teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proficiency in C/C++ and experience with embedded software testing.
• Experience with static/dynamic code analysis, memory and timing analysis.
