Hardware-in-the-loop Simulation Engineer
Job description
Wing offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last mile logistics. Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. Wing’s fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes. We design, build, and operate our aircraft, and offer drone delivery services on two continents. Our technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks, offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses.
Job responsibilities
- Design, develop and maintain Wing’s HIL infrastructure for hardware and software integration and validation, with a focus on the embedded systems components and their seamless integration with hardware.
- Ensure HIL availability, reliability and scale through both embedded development efforts and cross-functional workstreams.
- Lead investigations into HIL test results, identify and analyze anomalies or failures, and collaborate with relevant teams to resolve issues.
- Build new test platforms and hardware fixtures to expand the software on hardware testing across systems.
- Build continuous tests for Wing’s perception systems, including static camera and dynamic robotic testing.
Job requirements
- 3+ years of experience developing and designing autonomous systems; including 3+ years of developing embedded test infrastructure.
- B.S or M.S degree or equivalent practical experience in Electrical/Embedded/Computer Hardware/Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
- Proficient programming with C/C++ and Python in a Linux environment.
- Hands-on experience with embedded operating systems and their integration within HIL setups.
- In-depth knowledge of hardware communication protocols and experience interfacing with sensors, actuators, and other hardware components.
- Proven ability to effectively collaborate with diverse teams, including hardware engineers, software engineers, and test engineers.
- Experience with perception hardware systems, and the integration of such systems within HIL.
