## Description

The Senior Software Test Engineer will lead the planning, development, execution, and continuous improvement of software verification activities for Griffon Aerospace's unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). This role translates system and software requirements into rigorous verification strategies, develops automated and hardware-in-the-loop test capabilities, and ensures test results provide complete and defensible objective evidence. The ideal candidate combines deep technical test expertise with strong leadership in aerospace software integration and verification., * Define software verification strategies, plans, procedures, environments, and acceptance criteria for complex UAS programs.

 * Lead functional, integration, regression, performance, robustness, and system-level testing across software and hardware boundaries.
 * Design and maintain automated test frameworks, simulators, test harnesses, and hardware-in-the-loop capabilities.
 * Review requirements and architectures for testability, ambiguity, completeness, and verification coverage.
 * Analyze complex failures, lead defect triage and root-cause investigations, and verify corrective actions.
 * Establish bidirectional traceability among requirements, test cases, results, anomalies, and configuration baselines.
 * Lead test readiness and results reviews, communicate technical risk, and mentor junior test engineers.
 * Continuously improve test processes, metrics, tools, and laboratory practices while supporting program safety and compliance objectives.
