Software Integration & Test Engineer

Astrobotic Technology Inc

Pittsburgh, PA • On-site

$101K - $135K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 15 days ago

Job description

Astrobotic Technology is seeking a Software & Test Integration Engineer to help plan, integrate, and execute software verification and test activities for our next generation of lunar landers.

In this role, you'll work alongside a talented, multidisciplinary team to ensure mission-critical software performs flawlessly—from the lab to launch and ultimately on the lunar surface. We're looking for a motivated, detail-oriented engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and is eager to solve complex technical challenges. As a member of Astrobotic's Software & Controls Team, you'll play a direct role in advancing the future of commercial lunar exploration and helping make history as we deliver payloads to the Moon—and beyond.

Responsibilities include:

  • Design test plans and test procedures to validate and verify spacecraft software and hardware, including rocket engines, inertial measurement units, star trackers, radar systems, sun sensors, thermal controllers, lidar, and guidance, navigation and control algorithms designed to autonomously navigate a spacecraft to the moon and land on it.
  • Develop software testing infrastructure and tests within it that facilitate easily verifying that spacecraft systems function the same across platforms with varying combinations of emulators and spacecraft hardware.
  • Improve the capabilities of software testing infrastructure to support both developer and automated testing needs, enabling tighter integration between developers and testers.
  • Execute test procedures manually in cases where multi-million dollar spacecraft hardware is involved, and report regressions. Ideally develop the automated system so that manual testing follows automated testing closely.
  • Expand tests that run autonomously on a nightly basis against a continuous integration pipeline across different test platforms, for increased test coverage across more systems.
  • Write bug tickets when software issues are incurred as part of our verification process.
  • Develop automatic reporting tools and mechanisms to improve understanding of how failed and passed tests map to subsystem-level requirements.
  • Benchmark and analyze spacecraft system performance across all flight modes.
  • Help identify and resolve anomalous software behavior.
  • Work with a small team of developers, engineers and technicians to proactively solve problems found through testing the spacecraft software system.

Other responsibilities may include:

  • Manage and schedule test regressions and test resources.
  • Manage test software repositories for multiple projects.
  • Perform acceptance tests and trace tested features back to requirements
  • Collect, analyze and present test metrics.

Required Qualifications:

  • A bachelor’s or graduate degree, ideally in a technical field.
  • Minimum five years of relevant work experience
  • Proficiency with Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
  • Proficiency with scripting languages (e.g. Python)
  • Demonstrated ability to build and test distributed software and/or hardware systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead anomaly investigation activities involving multiple experts.

Beneficial Qualifications:

  • Knowledge of formal software V and V processes.
  • Proficiency with software configuration management tools (e.g. git).
  • Experience with containers (e.g. Docker) and virtual machines (e.g. QEMU).
  • Experience with Linux and other embedded operating systems.
  • Familiarity with coding safety standards (e.g. MISRA-C).
  • Familiarity with communication protocols (e.g. CCSDS, Ethernet, RS-422, TCP/IP, I2C, QAM, RS-232, Spacewire, CAN, GPIO, IPC, MIL1553, RS-485).
  • Familiarity with electronic test equipment including oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
  • Familiarity with electrical circuit dynamics.
  • Familiarity with environmental testing (e.g. EMC/EMI, thermal-vacuum testing).
  • Familiarity with some of the systems that the software system is driving including multi-DOF spacecraft controls, thermal systems, RF communications systems, avionics systems, and power systems.
