Senior Manager, Software Test and Automation (R6080)

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Build a world class software and system test infrastructure for rapid software deployments
• Own end-to-end system test strategy for software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL) environments—scaling them for continuous integration and rapid release cycles.
• Design and implement mission-critical system test cases validating autonomous behaviors, requirements compliance, and operational edge cases across nominal, safety-critical, and degraded conditions.
• Coordinate and execute flight test and software release campaigns, working cross-functionally with autonomy, embedded systems, flight ops, and safety engineering teams.

Job requirements

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related field
• 8+ years of experience in software testing, systems testing, or verification & validation for complex, safety-critical or mission-critical systems (autonomy, aerospace, defense, robotics, UAVs, etc.)
• 3+ years of experience leading teams, including some experience managing other managers
• Strong proficiency in test automation, scripting, data analysis, and test infrastructure development
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining automated test frameworks (SIL, HIL, VIL, CI/CD pipelines)
• Experience validating autonomous behaviors or distributed real-time systems
• Deep understanding of software verification methodologies, including requirements traceability, test planning, and regression testing
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testbeds, embedded systems, or avionics integration
