About the role

  • Work on the verification and validation of safety-critical software components for the aircraft battery management system (BMS) in accordance with DO-178C standards.
  • Design, develop, and document comprehensive test plans, test cases, and test procedures derived from high-level and low-level software requirements.
  • Execute Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing to verify battery algorithms and low-level drivers.
  • Identify, document, and track software defects using automated tracking systems; collaborate with embedded developers to analyze root causes and verify fixes.
  • Develop and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks (C/C++, Python) to improve testing efficiency and coverage.
  • Design and execute tests to verify software fault detection and diagnostic algorithms, including insulation breakdown, short circuits, and sensor failures.
  • Analyze sensor data (cell voltages, pack current) and test results to ensure accurate state estimation and protection function performance.
  • Participate in software audits and reviews to ensure all verification activities comply with DO-178C certification requirements.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in a related field
  • At least a BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree
  • Strong knowledge of C/C++ for code analysis and scripting languages (like Python) for test automation.
  • Familiarity with safety critical software development and verification standards (DO-178C, ISO 26262, ASIL) to high criticality levels (DAL-A/B or ASIL C/D)
  • Hands-on experience through the Full Software Verification Life Cycle, including requirement traceability and verification reporting.
  • Experience testing low-level communication protocols (CAN, RS-422/485, ARINC-429, SPI, I2C, Ethernet).
  • Working knowledge of sensor technologies and measurement techniques for high-voltage battery systems (current, voltage, and temperature monitoring).
  • Familiarity with diverse tools and technologies used for the development, testing and analysis
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills
  • Excellent verbal and written interpersonal communication skills
  • Collaborative mindset
  • Passion for learning and problem solving
Benefits
