We are helping to accelerate amazing advances in propulsion by building internal platforms to store, analyze, share, and integrate data with teams across the company. This role is ideal for someone who wants to contribute across our software stack while leading the creation of a scalable QA and test strategy for our integrated aerospace software ecosystem. You'll be part of a small, high-impact software team that is developing front-end applications, back-end microservices, database platforms, automation tools, embedded systems support, and hardware test interfaces. You will also be the primary engineer driving software quality efforts across all these systems. What You'll Get To Do * Test Strategy & Quality Engineering: Build and maintain automated test frameworks for front-end, back-end, and integrated systems. Develop end-to-end, integration, regression, and performance test suites. Oversee CI/CD-driven quality gates, coverage metrics, and continuous testing practices. Work with embedded, hardware test, and propulsion teams to validate cross-functional systems. Establish a scalable QA process for the team, including documentation and best practices. * FullStack Development: Create user-focused front-end tools using React, Grafana, and other modern UI technologies. Build and maintain back-end services using GoLang and PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB. Collaborate with other Venus teams to design software that simplifies workflows and enhances productivity. * Integrated Hardware, Test, and Data Systems: Support development of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems, test stands, and automation platforms that are controlling the development of future propulsion systems. Help unify data acquisition, telemetry, and real-time systems into robust, testable architectures. Contribute to ground software and embedded system integration as needed. ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Rest API Antipatterns](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100208-rest-api-antipatterns) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Your next 10x engineer isn't in your city.
