Embedded Software Engineer (Validation)

Join our team as an Embedded Software Engineer (Validation) and play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability of our embedded platform for autonomous aircraft. You will design and build the simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) infrastructure used to validate platform services, develop automated test scenarios, and collaborate closely with software engineers throughout the software development lifecycle. This is a software engineering role focused on building scalable validation infrastructure, not manual testing.

• Design, implement, and maintain automated validation infrastructure for embedded platform software, including simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments.
• Develop automated test scenarios covering core platform capabilities, including interprocess communication (IPC), logging and observability, communication bridges, over-the-air (OTA) update systems, and live telemetry.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers to improve system quality and testability, and contribute to continuous integration pipelines and automated validation workflows.

• Strong understanding of systems-level concepts including:
• Ability to collaborate closely with software engineers to improve system quality and testability
• Concurrency
• Professional experience with Rust, Python, or similar programming languages
• Experience designing automated test frameworks or validation infrastructure
• Experience developing embedded or systems software
• Distributed or multi-process systems
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across software and hardware boundaries
• Networking
• Interprocess communication
• Experience working with embedded Linux systems
• You enjoy understanding how complex systems behave and are motivated by building the infrastructure that makes them more reliable
• You see testing as an engineering discipline, not a separate phase of development, and enjoy writing software that uncovers subtle system interactions before they become production problems
• You are comfortable working across embedded software, simulation, hardware, and automation, and you enjoy collaborating with engineers to design systems that are both robust and testable
• Experience building Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) or simulation-based validation systems
• Experience in safety-critical or high-reliability industries such as aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial systems, or medical devices
• Experience with autonomous systems or robotics
• Experience validating distributed embedded systems
• Familiarity with OTA update systems, observability platforms, or telemetry infrastructure
• Experience with performance testing, stress testing, fault injection, or resilience testing
• Experience building automated test orchestration, dashboards, and reporting systems
• Familiarity with CI/CD systems for embedded software development
