From the original posting

As a Displays Software Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be a part of the remote piloting software team. This team is responsible for building the pilot-facing application software that is used to command the aircraft's advanced automation systems — both onboard, and remotely. You will join a team of interdisciplinary and mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics, and self-driving vehicles.

Responsibilities

In your role as a Displays Software Engineer, your primary focus will be designing, architecting, and building a variety of real-time user interface applications for controlling our automated aircraft systems. These can range from real-time embedded UIs on aviation-grade hardware to browser-based applications. All of these applications will support our work to build a fully certified system in multiple ways: they will serve as a platform for rapidly prototyping different workflows and designs; they will be directly used in our ongoing experimental test flight programs; and they will ultimately serve as a reference implementation for our certified displays and controls. You will have ownership over the entire lifecycle of these applications, and will work with software engineers and designers within the team, as well as systems engineers and pilots to build systems that are safe, user-centered, and certifiable.

Basic Success Criteria

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
5+ years of experience developing user-facing software for high-performance or mission-critical applications
5+ years professional experience in C or C++

Preferred Criteria

Experience with DO-178C
Thorough understanding of computer architecture, operating systems and networking
Expertise developing user-facing software requirements and following graphical specifications
Experience with human-in-the-loop testing and certification campaigns
Demonstrated understanding of core browser technologies (JavaScript, HTML, CSS)
Private pilot license
Demonstrated ability to work in a self-directed manner in a fast-paced environment

Must be willing to travel up to 20% of the time.
