Why Join Powerus

\n

\n

Powerus releases flight, payload, and datalink firmware on a frequent cadence. Each release is verified on flight hardware before it goes to flight test.

\n

\n

This role owns that verification: the hardware-in-the-loop rigs, the automated regression suites that run on them, and the release test report. Software engineers unit-test their own code; this role tests the integrated firmware on flight hardware.
