Hardware-in-the-loop Simulation Engineer

About Wing:

Wing offers drone delivery as a safe fast and sustainable solution for last mile logistics. Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing but current delivery methods are inefficient costly and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. Wings fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand in minutes. We design build and operate our aircraft and offer drone delivery services on two continents. Our technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses. Wing is a part of Googles parent company Alphabet and our mission is to create the preferred means of delivery for the planet. If youre ready to do the greatest work of your life come join us.

About the Role:

Wing is looking for a Hardware-in-the-loop Simulation Engineer to join our Simulation team. This role is hybrid based in Palo Alto CA.

Simulation is a core technology for Wing. We provide essential tools for R&D and are critical to ensuring the reliability of our fleet of autonomous aircraft. The simulation teams work spans vehicle physics and sensor modeling large-scale simulation frameworks test infrastructure for backend verification and integrated avionics and system testing. As our fleet and operational complexity continue to grow we are establishing a dedicated team to own the next generation of our software-on-hardware testing infrastructure.

The Hardware-in-the-loop Simulation Engineer will develop and maintain Wings HIL platforms implementing features and driving infrastructure reliability to meet future scale. You will be instrumental in transitioning HIL to a scalable modular infrastructure approach building and monitoring automated software-on-hardware tests that are key to accelerating Wings R&D.

What Youll Do:

• Design develop and maintain Wings HIL infrastructure for hardware and software integration and validation with a focus on the embedded systems components and their seamless integration with hardware.
• Ensure HIL availability reliability and scale through both embedded development efforts and cross-functional workstreams.
• Lead investigations into HIL test results identify and analyze anomalies or failures and collaborate with relevant teams to resolve issues.
• Build new test platforms and hardware fixtures to expand the software on hardware testing across systems.
• Build continuous tests for Wings perception systems including static camera and dynamic robotic testing.

What Youll Need:

• 3 years of experience developing and designing autonomous systems; including 3 years of developing embedded test infrastructure.
• B.S or M.S degree or equivalent practical experience in Electrical/Embedded/Computer Hardware/Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
• Proficient programming with C/C and Python in a Linux environment.
• Hands-on experience with embedded operating systems and their integration within HIL setups.
• In-depth knowledge of hardware communication protocols and experience interfacing with sensors actuators and other hardware components.
• Proven ability to effectively collaborate with diverse teams including hardware engineers software engineers and test engineers.
• Experience with perception hardware systems and the integration of such systems within HIL.
