SW Integration Specialist (Evening, Night & Weekend shifts)
Location : Mountain View, CA
Duration : 6 months
Rate : Level P2 (2-4 years) : $55 - $65 / hour
Level P3 (5-7 years) : $65 - $75 / hour
Our client is looking for a SW Integration Specialist to ensure that SW packages are correctly integrated and deployed on various test and development assets. These include, but are not limited to :
- Real-time, Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL), and System-Level simulations
- Avionics Hardware and embedded software development activities
- Aircraft Systems development activities
- Ground Segment development activities
- Evaluation and Validation of simulated aircraft performance
You will ensure that all the elements (models, software, hardware) are correctly integrated and deployed in a number of simulation applications to enable the development of the first fully autonomous all-electric aircraft that performs and operates safely in an urban air-mobility environment.
Responsibilities
