About Zipline
About You and The Role
As a Software Systems Validation Engineer you will lead end-to-end software evaluation of an autonomous drone delivery system that comprises various subsystems as sensor drivers, navigation, guidance and control, motion planning, and actuator control. As part of this evaluation, you will build metrics and visualizations that highlight capability improvements, gaps, and regressions, and ultimately fast track engineering decision making for large scale deployments.
You will evaluate and continuously improve validation practices, identifying areas where improvements to tools, methodologies, and processes can increase validation coverage and development efficiency. For this, you will collaborate closely with our embedded and autonomy software teams, systems engineering, data platform and test infrastructure teams, and ensure that our software behaviors function as expected in real-world scenarios.
You will, thus, be bridging critical gaps between Systems Engineering and Software Development at Zipline.
What You'll Do
- Design, implement, and execute validation scenarios for the end to end software stack across autonomous drone software systems to ensure robust and reliable behavior
- Validate systems requirements and contribute to software requirement iterations
- Lead software systems validation framework strategies, focusing on system-level performance and safety evaluation
- Build software performance and safety monitors that work reliably with real time systems
- Collaborate with test infrastructure and data platform teams to build systems validation frameworks
- Apply risk analysis and mitigation strategies in your testing approach, ensuring that system behaviors align with requirements
What You'll Bring
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
- 3+ years of Software Development experience working with robotic systems, with deeper experience in at least 1 of the following: Perception, Motion Planning, Navigation, Control, Estimation & Dynamics, or Diagnostics / parallel autonomy software development
OR
- 3+ years of experience in Software Systems Engineering OR Validation for Autonomous robot applications
- Experience with handling nominal, adversarial and edge case testing for robotics applications
- Experience working with large data sets in production pipelines, system safety / performance evaluation and root causing techniques
- Proficiency in scripting (python, sql) and programming languages for safety critical applications (MISRA C, Rust, C++)
- Bonus
- Experience with risk assessment tools and techniques (STPA , HARA)
- Experience with DO-178C , ISO26262, ISO 21448, ARP 4761, ARP 4754
- Background in reliability engineering / statistical validation techniques
- Experience building software safety and software performance requirements from functional / technical requirements
