We believe aircraft should fly themselves.
The Role
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
  • 7+ years of professional 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 
  • 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.

The estimated salary range for this position is $185,000 to $230,000/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.
