In this role, you will be responsible for integrating, validating, and troubleshooting the electrical systems that enable Inversion's vehicle to fly. You will work at the intersection of hardware design, software, manufacturing, and flight operations, owning vehicle-level checkout, test infrastructure, and hardware verification from development through flight. You will build and operate flight-like test environments, perform qualification and acceptance testing of avionics hardware, integrate avionics into flight articles, investigate anomalies, and help ensure every electrical subsystem is ready for mission operations. This is a highly hands-on role requiring strong engineering judgment, technical curiosity, and the ability to solve complex system-level problems under aggressive development schedules., * Own vehicle-level integration, checkout, and verification of avionics subsystems including flight computers, power systems, networking equipment, RF systems, sensors, and payload interfaces. * Develop and execute electrical integration procedures, acceptance test plans, qualification campaigns, and vehicle checkout operations. * Design, build, and maintain avionics test infrastructure including HIL testbeds, bench-top test systems, test racks, breakout boxes, simulators, and electrical ground support equipment. * Support system-level bring-up and troubleshooting of flight hardware, including root-cause investigations involving electrical, software, networking, and mechanical interfaces. * Perform electrical verification activities including continuity testing, isolation testing, power-on validation, sensor calibration, and hardware functional testing. * Develop automated test procedures and data collection tools to improve test coverage, repeatability, and operational efficiency. * Analyze telemetry, logs, and test data to identify failures, characterize system performance, and drive corrective actions. * Collaborate closely with avionics design engineers, embedded software engineers, manufacturing engineers, and vehicle integration teams to rapidly resolve issues and improve product reliability. * Support vehicle environmental testing including vibration, thermal vacuum, EMI/EMC, and flight qualification campaigns. * Generate clear test documentation including procedures, test reports, discrepancy reports, and non-conformance investigations. * Support launch, flight, and mission operations as required. ## Related Videos - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Crew Management System for Airlines: Plan duties for pilots & flight attendants worldwide](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1444-crew-management-system-for-airlines-plan-duties-for-pilots-flight-attendants-worldwide) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Software stack under and over the hood of the fastest accelerating car in the world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/221-software-stack-under-and-over-the-hood-of-the-fastest-accelerating-car-in-the-world) - [Turning Container security up to 11 with Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/718-turning-container-security-up-to-11-with-capabilities) ## Related Articles - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Quick guide: How to write a Software Developer CV](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/37-quick-guide-how-to-write-a-software-developer-cv)
