• Develop offline data analysis tools
• Help define and execute end-to-end and other integrated test cases and test plans to validate SPARC control software

What we're looking for:

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field (computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, etc.)
• 7+ years relevant experience
• Professional experience writing real-time state estimation and control algorithms
• Professional experience writing production quality state estimation and software
• Experience with modern software development lifecycle practices (CI/CD, git version control, unit testing, integration testing, etc)
• Proficiency with python
• Proficiency with at least one real-time control language (c++, rust, etc)

Bonus points for:

• Experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop testbeds and software-only testbeds for validating control software
• Experience writing models to validate software
