Description
At Zone 5 Technologies, we're redefining what's possible in unmanned aircraft systems. Our team of engineers and innovators is developing cutting-edge autonomous solutions that push the boundaries of UAS technology - solving complex challenges that matter.
We're building the future of UAS capabilities, and we're looking for exceptional talent to join us. If you're driven by hard problems, energized by rapid innovation, and ready to make an impact on next-generation flight systems, you belong here.
The Software Integration Engineer is an individual contributor role responsible for the development, integration, verification, and validation of Software systems. The engineer will plan and support laboratory, ground and flight tests; analyze test data; and work closely with GNC, avionics, software, systems, and flight test teams to ensure safe and reliable aircraft performance.
The ideal candidate combines:
- Verification & Validation (V&V)
- Hardware – in – the – loop (HITL)
- Software – in – the – loop (SITL)
- Data Acquisition systems
- Systems Engineering
- Simulation & Modeling
- Model-Based Design
- Requirements Management
- Test Automation
- Root Cause Analysis
Responsibilities:
Software Test
- Facilitate integration of software and hardware interfaces.
- Develop and execute system-level integration and verification tests
- Troubleshoot failures using test data, telemetry, logs, and system diagnostics.
- Support hardware-in-the-loop (HITL), software-in-the-loop (SITL), iron-bird, simulator, ground, and flight testing.
- Monitor test execution and ensure compliance with safety requirements and test objectives.
- Investigate anomalies, identify root causes, and support corrective actions.
- Generate test reports, artifacts, and compliance evidence
- Organize hardware and software configuration artifacts
Integration & Technical Leadership
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including software, systems, controls, guidance, and hardware engineers.
- Lead and own integration of software into existing and new products.
- Coordinate software integration activities across multiple platforms
