About The Position

Reliable Robotics is developing safety-enhancing technology for aviation to save lives, enabling a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient, and transformative for moving goods and people. The team consists of mission-driven engineers with experience in aerospace, robotics, and self-driving cars. As a System Integration & Test Engineer, you will be responsible for integrating flight software and hardware subsystems in bench, lab, and aircraft test environments. Your testing will span the full lifecycle, from new equipment bring-up and functional checkout in the lab to installation and acceptance testing on the aircraft. Your verification plans and reports will be crucial for safety-of-flight decisions, both internally and for independent government airworthiness processes. Additionally, you will develop comprehensive software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) CI/CD core tests to ensure quality and prevent bugs or regression. This role is a critical juncture between conceptual control system design and real-world flight operations, offering an exciting opportunity to implement key features of the Reliable Robotics automation system and collaborate with experts across various system stacks.
