GNC Software Engineer

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods - and eventually people - move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Software Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will design and implement real-time software for our autonomous flight systems. You will work closely with guidance, navigation, controls, and simulation experts to implement advanced GNC algorithms into the flight software stack, enabling safe and deterministic flight of our remotely piloted aircraft.

Responsibilities

• Implement GNC algorithms in real-time embedded software
• Integrate software components in C++ simulation, software-in-the-loop, and hardware-in-the-loop test environments
• Optimize software for deterministic performance and flight safety
• Verify flight software function and behavior
• Contribute to flight test planning, analysis, and data review
