Christchurch, New Zealand Dawn Aerospace Full time

Want to play a key role in software development and the software life cycle of a spaceplane? Software quality and safety is vital for UAV's to become an integral part of aviation. Currently, there are very few guidelines for UAV software, so in this role you would be working on ground breaking terrain and have to navigate your way through. In addition to defining, you will be responsible for implementing this process and building up a framework, i.e. automatic testing frame-works and quality checks. The spaceplane software team is young, small, growing fast and we are looking for people that can grow with us. If you want a smooth and routine role; this role is not the one. However, if you looking for a highly dynamic and exciting role, with a lot of challenges and opportunity we would love to hear from you We believe in giving you the tools to get your job done, then getting out of your way.

- Implementing unit-testing and integration testing frame-works.
- Participate in review of source code changes and ensure all changes meet company coding standards.
- Working in, and helping build, a high-performance team of software engineers
- Prove quality through validation & verification of all software produced, including flight model testing, unit test, CI-CD

**Requirements**:
**What you need**
- Knowledge of high criticality software and relevant tooling and processes common in regulated industries (e.g., DO-178/C, MISRA/AUTOSAR, etc.)
- Demonstrated success setting up and working with unit-testing and system integration frameworks.
- Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment with multiple priorities.

**What would be useful**
- Exposure to Docker, Git, CI/CD pipelines and DevOps best practices
- Experience developing safety critical software for autonomous vehicles, such as satellites or UAV's.

**What educations, experience & qualification will be necessary**
- Relevant domain knowledge (aerospace, aviation or other high-reliability industry)
- 3+ years relevant experience
