Robotics Software Engineer, Verification & Validation
Core
Design and own automated testing infrastructure (SITL/HITL) for mission-critical robotics software, ensuring autonomy and hardware interfaces are validated before field deployment.
Role type
Robotics Software Engineer (Verification & Validation)
Builds
Automated test infrastructure, SITL/HITL environments, and validation tooling for the Omen platform.
Domain
Defense technology / Robotics / Autonomous Systems
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | infrastructure
Required skills
C++ (production-grade), automated testing architecture, SITL/HITL environment design, hardware interface testing (UART, CANbus, serial), V&V discipline, systems-level thinking
Preferred skills
SDET/Systems Integration Test background, aerospace/defense V&V experience, autonomy evaluation methodologies, embedded Linux/RTOS, Python/Go scripting, CI/CD pipelines
Technologies
