  • Own flight software requirements verification activities from initial requirements through final Run for Record.
  • Support the Flight Software (FSW) verification process to ensure mission-critical software performs as expected.
  • Contribute to a highly motivated, collaborative, and dedicated Flight Software team supporting NASA's Artemis program.
  • Apply lessons learned from previous Orion missions to improve verification processes, software quality, and development efficiencies.
  • Develop, execute, and analyze software verification tests to ensure compliance with program requirements.
  • Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to resolve software issues and support mission readiness.
  • Maintain thorough documentation and support continuous process improvement initiatives.
Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
  • Previous software verification experience.
  • Demonstrated leadership abilities and ownership of technical tasks.

  • Working knowledge of Linux environments.
  • Working knowledge of MATLAB.
  • Strong attention to detail with excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Previous Orion program and/or Orion software verification experience.
  • Experience with Flight Software (FSW) or Simulation Software development and verification.
  • Knowledge of Guidance, Navigation, Controls, and Propulsion (GNCP) systems.
  • Working knowledge of C++.
  • Experience using IBM DOORS for requirements management.
  • Experience supporting aerospace, defense, or other mission-critical software development environments.
