About The Position

Skyryse is hiring a Validation and Verification Engineer for its Aviation Engineering team in El Segundo, California. The role is responsible for verification, validation, and quality assurance of Fly-by-Wire software, Display software, and FPGA firmware. The engineer will create, execute, and review tests at both high- and low-level requirements, including requirements-based FPGA verification through simulation and hardware testing. The role also reviews requirements, design, code, and HDL using checklists. Familiarity with ARP 4754A, DO-178C, DO-331, and DO-254 is sought, as is the ability to facilitate FAA/DER reviews for software and airborne electronic hardware.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in an engineering discipline.
• At least 3 years of experience in software, firmware, or hardware engineering in the certification of software and systems.
• Experience developing software or hardware test and verification documents.
• Experience with dSPACE or similar hardware-in-the-loop tools.
• Experience with Python, C, C++, and MATLAB.
• Working knowledge of CAN, RTD, serial communication, ARINC 429, and UART.

Nice To Haves

• Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or Aerospace Engineering.
• Experience designing, developing, verifying, and certifying display software per DO-178C.
• Experience verifying and certifying FPGA designs per DO-254, preferably at DAL A/B, including proficiency in VHDL and/or Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, or cocotb test benches, and HDL simulation and synthesis tools such as Questa/ModelSim, Vivado, or Libero.
• Experience with laboratory equipment for in-hardware verification, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.
• Self-starter able to work independently with minimal supervision and influence the organization.

Responsibilities

• Develop and conduct flight-critical tests and reviews of Flight Control System software per DO-178C and DO-331.
• Plan and execute Display software verification and validation per DO-178C, including requirements-based testing of display formats, symbology, pilot interactions, alerting, and data interfaces; develop automated display test frameworks and test executives.
• Plan and execute FPGA firmware verification per DO-254, including requirements-based HDL simulation, test bench development, code coverage analysis, elemental analysis, and in-target hardware testing.
• Develop embedded systems test benches and perform processor-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop testing across software, display, and FPGA components.
• Develop verification testing tools and automation, qualify the test stand, and develop qualification procedures.
• Develop and maintain software and hardware certification plans and artifacts, including SVP, HVP, verification tests and procedures, verification results, and compliance reports.
• Perform structural coverage analysis for software using LDRA or an equivalent tool, and HDL code coverage for FPGA designs.
• Review requirements, design, code, and HDL using checklists, and facilitate FAA/DER reviews for software and airborne electronic hardware.

Benefits

• Valuable stock option plan.
• Heavily subsidized medical, dental, and vision plans.
• 20 days of paid time off and 5 sick days annually for full-time employees, subject to company policy.
