As a Senior Software Engineer - Hardware Test at Zipline you will have the unique opportunity to develop and deploy high quality software that will power our automated testers for our next-generation of P2 hardware. By developing these tests you will gain a deep understanding of our avionics stack, flight and embedded code, and vehicle-sensors. You will own these test systems from early prototype design all the way to field/production root-cause, driving schedules and deliverables, interfacing with vendors and bridging cross-functional teams with a reliability and safety focus. Most importantly, your work will directly contribute to the design of future vehicles and verification of our next-generation aircraft. You are the last line of defense with our production testers before our vehicles are shipped all over the world to perform vital, life-saving deliveries.

  • Architect, develop, and deploy test software and test assets that will be used to validate components from avionics boards, sensors, instrumentation, and mechanism assemblies.
  • Develop automation-centric software scripts to streamline design and production testing.
  • Develop a deep understanding of components under test becoming a subject matter expert in the component's behavior under a range of environmental, performance, and system conditions.
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams and external vendors to deploy high quality test systems in a timely manner to support vehicle-builds.
  • Drive end-to-end test campaigns from development through design validation, certification, and production automation (often working all facets simultaneously).
  • Triage and root-cause field failures, using data analysis, test heritage, correlation to operating conditions, and one-off test campaigns.
  • Develop automation software scripts and visualization tools to streamline design and production testing.
  • 5+ years of programming experience in Python for high volume production applications (manufacturing/EOL software development experience). Some knowledge of embedded C and ability to understand Rust is desired.
  • Experience with object oriented programming.
  • Experience building automation systems for use in safety-critical and factory applications.
  • Experience working with Git / CI and the software development and validation process.
  • Experience developing software that interfaces directly with hardware including navigating datasheets and validating hands-on with representative hardware.
  • Experience developing test plans, test requirements, and test criteria for hardware products.
  • Experience using and deep understanding of common test instrumentation and data acquisition hardware.
  • Experience solving complex multidisciplinary problems with little supervision on schedule as an individual or as a member of an integrated team.
  • Must be authorized to work in the US.
