  • The position is full-time, and available as remote or as a hybrid role in Boston, MA or Lanham, MD.

Responsibilities:
  • Design, document, and execute comprehensive test plans (unit, integration, and system-level) and procedures for flight and ground software.
  • Perform validation of Flight and Ground SW functional tests at the unit, integration, system, and acceptance levels
  • Validate embedded software via test automation where possible
  • Ensure software compliance through hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) or simulation-in-the-loop (SITL) with actual hardware endpoints or avionics rigs as needed

  • Communication with software developers and engineers to verify requirements, review code, and implement testability features
  • Identify, develop, maintain, and utilize automated test scripts within a continuous integration (CI) environment where possible
  • Manage requirement traceability (requirements ↔ design ↔ verification) in tools such as MS Excel, DOORS, or equivalent.
  • Lead or support verification planning and closure activities, including verification-by-analysis, similarity, inspection, test, and demonstration.
  • Collaborate closely with propulsion design engineers, test engineers, and mission assurance teams to define test objectives, success criteria, and acceptance plans for vacuum chamber, thermal-vacuum, and life-cycle testing.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science/engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, or related technical discipline.
  • 7+ years of total experience with a minimum of four years in software testing, preferably in aerospace
  • Familiarity with verification and validation (V&V) processes in aerospace or high-reliability industries.
  • Working knowledge of requirements management tools (MS Excel, DOORS, or equivalent).
  • Strong communication and documentation skills to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams across engineering disciplines.
  • Ability to adapt in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to obtain and maintain U.S. Government security clearance or ITAR compliance (U.S. Persons required).

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Hands-on experience or academic background in testing for space systems and subsystems.
  • Experience with script development or designing (e.g. Python or similar language or equivalent generation tools)

Benefits
  • Paid holidays, sick time and unmetered vacation
  • Excellent health and dental plans with 80% employer contribution
  • 4% company matching 401k with immediate vesting
  • Life insurance
  • Long term / Short term disability
