Résumé du poste

Poseidon Aerospace in the San Francisco Bay Area is seeking a Test and Validation Engineer to build and run hardware-in-the-loop benches, simulate flight environments, and validate avionics hardware before flight.

You will work across engineering teams, perform environmental and durability tests, analyze data, and help push aircraft speed and reliability. Travel to our flight test site will be required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
• 2+ years testing complex electromechanical or embedded systems.
• Proficiency in Python and working knowledge of C or C++.

Responsabilités

• Bring up and maintain hardware-in-the-loop benches with flight computers, actuators, sensors, and power hardware in the loop.
• Maintain the software-in-the-loop environment and the real-time simulation that drives the benches.
• Integrate vehicle, sensor, and actuator models from GNC and flight sciences into the simulation.
• Write validators: automated checks that evaluate simulation, bench, and flight data against requirements.
• Build automated regression testing that runs each flight software release through simulation and hardware-in-the-loop.
• Develop fault injection for sensor, actuator, data bus, and power failures.
• Build data pipelines and analysis tooling for test and flight data.
• Design and run environmental and durability tests on aircraft hardware, including vibration, thermal, and ingress.
• Integrate instrumentation and data acquisition on test rigs.
• Write test plans and procedures from requirements and failure mode analyses, and report results.
• Investigate anomalies found in test and drive root cause with the owning team.
• Support aircraft ground test and flight test with validators and data analysis, including travel to our flight test site.
