Sr. Flight Software Engineer

Reliable Robotics
Mountain View, CA, United States
Full-time

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods - and eventually people - move around the planet.

We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Flight Software Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will automate the operation of highly complex aircraft systems. Our Flight Software teams are deeply involved in all aspects of the development and certification of the Reliable Robotics autonomy stack, and play a central role in bringing our aircraft to life.

Responsibilities

In your role as Flight Software Engineer, you will develop highly deterministic C++ software in a bare metal environment that works with sensors & control systems, robustly handles system faults, and integrates with other vehicle subsystems.

You'll drive requirements and implement excellent unit tests. You'll also have the opportunity to work directly with flight hardware in the lab and on the plane, plan flight testing, and watch your code fly an aircraft.

Basic Success Criteria

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Aerospace or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years experience with C or C++
  • Professional experience developing software for embedded or high performance applications
  • Ability to work in a self-directed manner in a fast-paced environment

Preferred Success Criteria

  • Thorough understanding of computer architecture, operating systems and networking
  • Experience with DO-178C
  • 7+ years experience with C or C++
  • Experience developing software for safety critical applications
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Flight Software links together the mechanical, avionics, algorithmic, and embedded worlds to actually make the airplane fly.

The core nature of the role offers the opportunity to interact with teams and components across the entire automated aircraft and to specialize in the areas most exciting to you.

Must be willing to travel up to 10% of the time.

The estimated salary range for this position is $145,500 to $220,000 / annual salary + cash and stock option awards + benefits.

At Reliable Robotics, we strive to provide competitive and rewarding compensation based on experience and expertise, as well as market conditions, location, and pay equity.

In addition to base compensation, Reliable Robotics offers stock options, employee medical, 401k contribution, great co-workers and a casual work environment.

S. export control laws.

All applicants are asked to provide documentation that legally establishes status as a U.S. person or non-U.S. person (and nationalities in the case of a non-U.
