Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture.
We are hiring a Verification Engineer to join the Fly-by-wire Flight Control team. In this role, you will execute, automate, and analyze verification testing for our aircraft's flight control system and related subsystems.
How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:
- Contribute to verification of the flight control system and integration with key subsystems, including inceptors, flight control computers, guidance/navigation/control algorithms, propulsion motors, batteries, and actuators
- Execute tests across SiL/HiL, benches, and integrated system rigs, including configurations that combine the flight control computer, batteries, and electric propulsion
- Author test cases, procedures, and scripts with clear pass/fail criteria; maintain traceability to system and software requirements
- Collaborate with system architects and discipline engineers to refine test plans, review results, and resolve discrepancies
- Drive repeatability and rigor in the labs by improving how we develop procedures, record results, and control hardware/software configurations
- Plan and run test campaigns; produce concise reports, dashboards, and coverage summaries that communicate status and risk
- Support the setup, maintenance, and organization of lab equipment; help ensure a safe, well-managed, and productive test environment
- Build and maintain data acquisition and visualization pipelines to accelerate analysis and decision making
- Automate test execution and regression suites; contribute to continuous integration and test infrastructure
- Document lab tools, instruments, and user guidelines; provide onboarding and day-to-day support for lab users
- Participate in issue triage and root-cause investigations; file and track defects to closure with engineering owners
Minimum Qualifications:
- 2+ years of experience in verification and test for control systems, avionics, automotive, robotics, or other safety-critical domains (New graduates with strong relevant project or internship experience are encouraged to apply)
- Hands-on experience executing tests in HiL/SiL or similar environments and working with integrated electromechanical systems
- Strong skills in test development and planning: writing test cases/procedures, defining data collection and pass/fail logic, and generating reports
- Working knowledge of requirements traceability, configuration management, and defect tracking
- Proficiency with scripting and data analysis (e.g., Python; MATLAB/Simulink a plus)
- Familiarity with aerospace and safety practices (e.g., ARP4754A/ARP4761, DO-178C/DO-254) or comparable safety-critical processes
- Practical lab skills and a safety-first mindset; organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable with hands-on hardware work
- Clear communication and collaboration skills in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment
- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
Above and Beyond Qualifications:
- Experience with Polarion ALM for requirements and test management
- Experience with dSPACE/Speedgoat HiL, NI/VeriStand/LabVIEW, or similar platforms
- Exposure to flight test support, instrumentation, or post-flight data analysis
- Experience with CAN, Ethernet, and common avionics/industrial interfaces; familiarity with DAQ hardware
