As a Software Systems Test Engineer at Space Protection Programs (SPP), you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and reliability of flight vehicles by collaborating with software developers and systems engineers to define comprehensive test cases, manage requirement verification matrices, and execute rigorous qualification testing. Your daily tasks include designing automated qualification tests on Hardware-in-the-Loop simulators, writing and maintaining scalable test scripts using Python or C++, isolating complex system-level bugs, analyzing telemetry data for performance verification, and integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines. The ideal candidate possesses hands-on experience in embedded software verification, system integration, and Agile methodologies, along with proficiency in tools like MATLAB, Simulink, and hardware diagnostic equipment. This role demands a high degree of technical ownership and the ability to mentor less experienced engineers while driving execution towards delivery milestones in dynamic mission environments.
