We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team. The goal of a Senior Software Engineer at Wisk is to ensure that avionics software developed per industry standards for FAA certification. You will be part of the Avionics and Onboard Autonomy (AOA) Mission Management System (MMS) Software team that develops flight software for functions like traffic avoidance.

Why we need you:

• With that vision in mind, we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our MMS Conflict Detection and Resolution (CD&R) team. The goal of the Senior Software Engineer in this team at Wisk is to develop flight software to build the first fully autonomous all-electric aircraft that performs and operates safely in an urban air-mobility environment. In support of this goal, you will be part of the MMS CD&R team that develops embedded software to interface with sensors used for traffic detection and avoidance. You will be using both traditional hand written code or utilize Mathworks products to design and develop this embedded software.

What you will do:

• Be responsible for developing software used in the end-to-end testing of embedded sensors from simulation to flight test. 
• Work with the systems engineers to understand the functional and performance requirements for the CD&R system and subsystems.
• Work with the R&D engineers to develop test plans specifying flight tests that  need to be performed, the sensor and ground truth data that needs to be collected, and the expected results.
• You will help support problem solving activities through development of software and integration within the MMS and other systems.
• You will plan and execute mentorship programs for junior Software Engineers.

What you have done:

• B.S. in Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, STEM, or equivalent real-world experience and 3+ years industry experience in Embedded Software development. 
• You have demonstrable proficiency in Python programming for embedded systems, robotics or network-based services. 
• You have a strong understanding of basic embedded software concepts such as signal analysis, hardware abstraction layers, firmware drivers, and memory allocation. 
• You have experience with development, execution and reporting of test cases and reporting of defects, code coverage and other quality metrics.
• You have experience with commonly used project management, bug tracking, continuous integration tools e.g., JIRA.
• You have experience with capturing, monitoring and analyzing network traffic, e.g., Wireshark, tcpdump, iPerf.
• You have experience with Linux, e.g., configuration management, shell scripting.
• You have experience with Docker or experience with containerization in general.

Desired:

• You have experience with real time operating systems (RTOS), and other low-level C/C++ software.
• You have experience with MATLAB/Simulink Model-Based Design.
• You have C/C++ programming experience with the GNU Toolchain (gcc, gdb).
• You have familiarity with flight simulators leveraging both software and hardware “in-the-loop” testing strategies
• You are familiar with Agile software development, unit Testing and test driven development.
• You have familiarity with flight test operations.
• You have familiarity with sensors used in the aviation industry, e.g., ADS-B, GPS, INS, radios, etc.
• You have familiarity with embedded systems communication protocols, e.g., CAN, ARINC, I2C, SPI

Who you are:

• You are a highly motivated, self starting individual with a broad set of skills and never afraid of facing complex technical challenges.
• You are a solution oriented individual with a strong analytical mindset.
• You have strong communication skills and can easily tailor your communications to suit the audience.
• You can adapt quickly or propose changes needed to achieve early results in a timely fashion.
