Job Description
Astroboticis at the forefront of advancing space exploration and technology development. Our expertise spans from lunar rovers landers and infrastructure to spacecraft navigation machine vision and computing systems for inspace robotic applications. To date the company has been contracted for two lunar missions and has won more than 60 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial technology contracts worth more than $600 million.
We recently launched and operated the first American lunar lander mission since the Apollo Program. Beyond helping lead America back to the Moon Astrobotic developed and operates reusable vertical takeoff vertical landing (VTVL) rockets and continues to advance nextgeneration VTVL capabilities and advanced rocket engines. Established in 2007 Astrobotic is headquartered in Pittsburgh PA with a propulsion and test campus in Mojave CA.
Astrobotic is looking for a Software Integration and Test Engineer to help with the planning and of the software integration and test program for our lunar landers. Candidates should be effective selfstarters who are detailoriented and can work in a fastpaced collaborative environment. As part of Astrobotics Software & Controls Team you will literally be creating history as we define the benchmark for commercial delivery of payloads to the Moon and beyond.
Job Responsibilities:
- Design test plans and test procedures to validate and verify spacecraft software and hardware including rocket engines inertial measurement units star trackers radar systems sun sensors thermal controllers lidar and guidance navigation and control algorithms designed to autonomously navigate a spacecraft to the moon and land on it
- Develop software testing infrastructure and tests within it that facilitate easily verifying that spacecraft systems function the same across platforms with varying combinations of simulators and actual spacecraft hardware
- Improve the capabilities of software testing infrastructure to support both developer and automated testing needs enabling tighter integration between developers and testers
- Execute test procedures manually in cases where multimillion dollar spacecraft hardware is involved and report regressions. Ideally develop the automated system so that manual testing follows automated testing closely
- Expand tests that run autonomously on a nightly basis against a continuous integration pipeline across different hardware platforms for greater test coverage across more systems
- Write bug tickets when software issues are incurred as part of our verification process
- Develop automatic reporting tools and mechanisms to improve understanding of how failed and passed tests map to subsystemlevel requirements
- Benchmark and analyze spacecraft system performance across all flight modes
- Help identify and resolve anomalous software behavior
- Work with a small team of developers engineers and technicians to proactively solve problems found through testing the spacecraft software system
- Manage and schedule test regressions and test resources
- Manage test software repositories for multiple projects
- Perform acceptance tests and trace tested features back to requirements
- Collect analyze and present test metrics

- Demonstrated ability to lead anomaly investigation activities involving multiple experts
Desired Skills & Qualifications:
- Knowledge of formal software V&V processes
- Proficiency with software configuration management tools (e.g. git)
- Experience with containers (e.g. Docker) and virtual machines (e.g. QEMU)
- Experience with Linux and other embedded operating systems
- Familiarity with coding safety standards (e.g. MISRAC)
- Familiarity with communication protocols (e.g. CCSDS Ethernet RS422 TCP/IP I2C QAM RS232 Spacewire CAN GPIO IPC MIL1553 RS485
- Familiarity with electronic test equipment including oscilloscopes multimeters and logic analyzers
- Familiarity with electrical circuit dynamics
- Familiarity with environmental testing (e.g. EMC/EMI thermalvacuum testing)
- Familiarity with some of the systems that the software system is driving including multiDOF spacecraft controls thermal systems RF communications systems avionics systems and power systems
