Zipline is looking to solve the problem of building precise, efficient, and scalable software solutions for systems validation and flight test organizations to validate aircraft and ground systems.
Requirements
- Extensive experience in Python, specifically using test systems (e.g. pytest)
- Some experience testing Rust, C++, and C
- Extensive experience working with CI/CD systems.
- Experience working with multimeters, oscilloscopes, and hardware instruments.
- Experience developing and executing test plans for complex, safety critical, embedded and cloud software.
- 4+ years of experience in software engineering for complex, hardware-backed, or safety-critical systems.
- Degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain HIL test infrastructure that integrates real aircraft hardware with simulated systems and environments.
- Develop software tools, frameworks, and services to enable large-scale automated and semi-automated system validation.
- Support a high-throughput flight test organization running thousands of daily tests, from targeted regression tests to rare off-nominal scenarios.
- Write and maintain test software, drivers, and interfaces for embedded and Linux-based systems.
- Support test framework architecture designs and improvements.
- Debug complex validation failures spanning simulation, hardware, firmware, and application software
- Create system-level validation plans from unit testing all the way to flight
Other
- Degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
- 4+ years of experience in software engineering for complex, hardware-backed, or safety-critical systems.
- Collaborate with flight test engineers, avionics, autonomy, embedded software, and infrastructure teams to define system-level validation strategies.
- Improve test reliability, debuggability, and signal-to-noise as systems and test volume scale.
