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.

The Flight Test and Integration team is responsible for multiple integration and test efforts at Reliable Robotics. The team regularly ensures the proper function of mechanical, electrical, and flight control systems onboard the aircraft. In addition, this team has ownership over all ground and flight test operations within the organization. The team is composed of individuals familiar with experience developing experimental and certification products.

Responsibilities As a Sr. Software Integration Engineer, you will be at the crossroads of hardware, software, and flight operations. Your mission is to ensure the system we build not only works but is proven to be safe and airworthy for both R&D and company flight test purposes. You will have the opportunity to lead design integration across software and hardware teams, untangling subtle interactions between components to ensure the whole system comes together as intended. You will become comfortable working in ambiguous situations with limited information, relying on your technical instincts and experience to track down the root of hard-to-find verification issues. Throughout development, you will drive test and flight readiness requirements across a broad technical reach of disciplines, paired with a sharp eye for risk. As part of the Flight Test & Integration team, you will also be responsible for supporting the definition, build, and execution of ground and flight test campaigns. Being onsite with the aircraft will provide insight into integration activities status and issues that best situate you to respond and iterate on the development process.

Basic Success Criteria
