Job Summary
Were building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods and eventually people move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.
As a Hardware Test Engineer at Reliable Robotics you will be a key part of the Hardware Test team. This is a small team of broadly experienced engineers that strive to ensure that all hardware being produced meets the stringent requirements for aviation. Hardware Test Engineers are one of the essential interfaces between the design production and flight test teams and are exposed to a wide variety of technical challenges.
You will be creating automated test stands to replicate extreme flight conditions on our hardware and mechanisms that will serve as the backbone of our qualification testing. You will help to break our development hardware help root-cause the failure modes and provide critical input in redesigning it. You will be writing the software and building the hardware platforms for the command control and data collection systems that will test our systems to rigorous aerospace standards.
Responsibilities
- Full ownership of the design build and maintenance of mechanical or electrical test stands for development testing production acceptance testing functional and environmental qualification testing
- Automate the repetitive aspects of the test stands
