## Description

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our R&D team. The R&D team is responsible for rapid evaluation of autonomy systems in a flight environment, and the development of future technologies that enable autonomous eVTOL operations.

The goal of this position is to facilitate the development of autonomous systems through the use of surrogate platforms like helicopters, and simulation. This position will facilitate the integration of new software modules in our helicopter platform & bench setups, develop software architectures that enable rapid test and evaluation, automate software deployment, and automate data extraction and validation.

Due to the nature of the work required for this position, this is an onsite opportunity. You will be required to work from our Hollister location.

Responsibilities

 * Responsible for working with other software engineers to continue to develop and maintain a full stack autonomy system that is flown in surrogate aircraft.
 * Be responsible for developing software used in the end-to-end testing of embedded sensors from simulation to flight test.
 * Work with the systems engineers to understand the functional and performance requirements for the confliction detection, navigation, & flight path management system and subsystems.
 * Work with the R&D team to develop test plans specifying flight tests that need to be performed, the sensor and ground truth data that needs to be collected, and the expected results.
