Responsibilities:
• Collaborate closely with the Senior Engineers in Test, software engineers, mechanical engineers and electrical engineers to ensure UAS systems are designed and tested according to written test plans.
• Execute test cases precisely as written within test suites to validate UAS systems against internal and external requirements, documenting any anomalies or deviations.
• Execute regression test suites across software and hardware revisions and compare results against prior test baselines.
• Exercise sound judgement when identifying defects, distinguishing between expected behavior, test setup issues, and true system failures.
• Execute, and potentially implement, automated testing procedures with Senior Engineers to improve efficiency and accuracy in the testing process.
• Analyze test results and compile clear reports, including proper organization of logs, videos, images, and other test artifacts for traceability.
• Identify, document, and track defects, including regression issues, working with engineering teams to resolve and verify fixes.
• Assist senior engineers in estimating test execution effort and timelines to support project schedules.
• Follow all sUAS safety procedures and regulatory requirements during test execution, including flight, battery, and hardware handling.
• Participate in the design and development phases to provide input on testability and quality.
• Contribute to the improvement of quality assurance processes and methodologies within the department.
• Other duties as assigned.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 1 or more years of experience in a related field.
• Eligible for certification under Part 107.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Strong attention to detail when executing procedures and documenting test data.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to travel to the test site multiple times per week.
• Exposure to executing or supporting automated test scripts is a plus.
• Familiarity with Linux or Windows environments and basic concepts of embedded systems, radio, or networking.
• Familiarity with system, integration, smoke, and regression testing concepts.
• Ability to clearly document test results and maintain organized test artifacts.
• Familiarity with defect tracking tools such as Jira.
• Familiarity with Test suite tools such as BugZilla or TestRail.
• Familiarity with the software and product development lifecycle.
Preferred:
• Experience in a related field, such as aerospace engineering, aviation technology, or UAS technology.
• Strong interest in mission-critical or operational UAS applications, including defense or public safety, or industrial use cases.
• Previous experience with Atlassian based products such as Jira and Confluence.
• Proficiency with PX4, Ardupilot, Mavlink and QGroundControl.
• Familiarity with Controls, Robotics, Microcontrollers, Android Operating Systems, and Networking.
