Python programming Jobs in Renton, WA

Salary: $135,200 - 176,800 per year

Requirements:

• Typically more than 3 years of relevant experience developing aerospace software simulation testbeds; earlier-career candidates may be considered with strong coding fundamentals, applied modeling experience, and learning aptitude.
• Relevant project-based masters research involving substantial code development or modeling may count toward experience; coursework alone is less directly applicable.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and object-oriented programming, including practical use of objects and classes.
• Applied experience developing component or system models or simulations; software development without modeling experience is less aligned.
• Working ability in Python or a comparable scripting language.
• Familiarity with Git and software development and testing workflows.
• Understanding of embedded control systems and real-time operating systems, including APIs, interfaces, and device drivers.
• Familiarity with communication protocols such as UDP/TCP, I2C, or UART and component communication within simulations.
• Ability to reason about complex system behavior and component interactions. Space vehicle experience is helpful but not essential; relevant aerospace or comparable complex-system experience is valuable.
• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Desired: Masters degree in a related technical field, 5+ years working with large-scale engineering systems, and space vehicle simulation integration experience.
• Desired: Docker and containerization experience; Kubernetes experience is also preferred.
• Desired: CI/CD pipelines and tools such as GitLab or GitHub, software/hardware interface debugging, hardware emulation tools such as Simics, and continuous integration system customization.
• Desired: Knowledge of electrical and electronic engineering concepts and IP networking.
• Additional preferences include GNC, six-degree-of-freedom dynamics, DOORS Next Generation, SVN, and Jenkins.
• Due to applicable export requirements, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, a U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted to the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
• Strong organizational, collaboration, written communication, and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, integrate, and refine component models in the software-in-the-loop (SIL) testbed using C/C++; most of our teams coding is in C++.
• Translate component and subsystem requirements into modeled behavior, including component operations, interfaces, and interactions with other vehicle systems.
• Apply object-oriented programming with objects and classes to develop and maintain simulation software.
• Collaborate with subsystem responsible engineers, systems engineers, internal development teams, and customers to clarify simulation requirements and expected behavior.
• Develop and run model tests and integration test scripts, using Python or comparable scripting tools as appropriate.
• Support early integration of program software and investigate unexpected model or system interactions.
• Use Git for routine code development and merging, and contribute to release coordination, documentation, and our CI/CD workflow.
• Work in containerized simulation environments and support hardware/software integration, including anchoring simulations to hardware data.
• Use communication protocols in the simulation environment and collaborate on software/hardware interface debugging.
