Software Integration Engineer

This role is responsible for integrating the onboard software stack onto flight hardware, including flight controllers and companion compute. The engineer will own ground-control software and the operator interface, supporting single-operator, multi-platform operation. They will plan and execute test campaigns end-to-end, including test cards, instrumentation, and safety/site coordination, and perform post-test data analysis to gate program milestones. The role also involves owning the overall operator experience from ground control to in-field operation and collaborating cross-functionally with hardware, perception, navigation, and autonomy teams.
