Job description

Amazon Prime Air is seeking a Systems Development Engineer II to join the Drone Guidance, Navigation & Controls (GNC) team as a DO-178C Requirements and Verification Engineer. In this role, you will be a key individual contributor responsible for developing the software requirements, architecture documentation, interface control documents, and verification evidence that form the backbone of Prime Air's DO-178C-compliant software lifecycle. The ideal candidate brings software development experience background and applies that knowledge to the requirements and verification artifacts that govern how that code is built and tested.

You will also develop software tools to support simulation, test automation, and analysis, bridging the gap between requirements engineering and the software development team. You operate with moderate autonomy, own your assigned work products end-to-end, and collaborate closely with the tech lead and senior engineers to ensure your artifacts meet DO-178C objectives and certification standards.
Key job responsibilities
- Work on guidance and navigation and control algorithm software.
- Develop High and Low level software requirements, capturing functional, performance, and safety requirements for GNC software components in compliance with DO-178C planning and development objectives
- Author software architecture documents describing the structure, components, interfaces, and data flows of GNC software modules, ensuring architectural decisions are traceable to requirements
- Develop Interface Control Documents (ICDs) defining software-to-software and software-to-hardware interfaces for GNC components, coordinating with hardware and systems engineering teams to ensure consistency
- Develop verification evidence including test cases and test procedures for requirements-based testing ensuring coverage of all DO-178C DAL C verification objectives
- Develop software tools in Python, MATLAB, or C/C++ to support simulation, test automation, data analysis, and verification reporting - accelerating the team's ability to demonstrate DO-178C compliance
