Are you an Embedded Software Test Engineer or Software Verification Engineer from a safety-critical or regulated environment looking to work on technology that will enable safe, certified autonomous flight?
This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing specialist autonomy-assurance business, where you will help shape the verification of embedded software used across flight-critical control, runtime safety and mission-assurance systems.
