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.
