Software Engineer - Autonomous Air System V&V

Our Autonomous Air System V&V team builds the simulation and validation environments that enable rigorous testing of autonomous air systems before they ever leave the ground. We develop Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) environments that allow engineers to integrate, test, and assure AI-driven capabilities against virtualised and representative hardware. We build software that is subject to significant and unorthodox technical constraints, must operate in a wide variety of constantly-changing environments, and has to support an ever-growing list of challenging use-cases. What we build ultimately ends up in the hands of real people in high-risk, high-stress situations – from mission planning to command and control (C2) and mission debrief – so must be both reliable and frictionless. Taken together, this brings a whole host of interesting backend engineering challenges across a wide variety of fields that you'll help us solve. To give some examples: Simulation frameworks (e.g., high-fidelity SiL/HiL environments, real-time and deterministic simulation); Test automation (e.g., fault injection, automated test coverage, regression testing at scale); Hardware-software integration (e.g., testing against representative hardware, sensor and actuator interfaces).
