Are you looking to make a meaningful, positive impact while advancing your career?

Embark on a journey where your expertise in software engineering will help shape the future of aerospace technology. At Collins Aerospace, we're not just designing software; we're crafting the backbone of mission-critical systems within a Special Access Program (SAP) and safeguarding the lives of those who protect us. As our next Senior Embedded Software Test Engineer, you'll immerse yourself in Strategic Nuclear Deterrence, bringing your acumen to the forefront of innovation and ensuring the efficacy and security of systems that are vital to national defense.

You do not have to have previous comms or nuclear experience; we will provide the training and tools to help grow the skills you will need to become a subject matter expert.

You will learn from the best and brightest in the comms and nuclear deterrence domain working at Collins Aerospace.

What You Will Do:

• You will develop and execute software verification plans, procedures, and reports in alignment with rigorous program and contractual requirements.

• You will drive integration and validation efforts across complex embedded systems, ensuring functionality, stability, and compliance throughout all development phases.

• You will advance automated test capabilities and infrastructure, supporting continuous integration and formal qualification testing.

• You will ensure bidirectional traceability of test artifacts to system and software requirements through structured tooling and processes.

• You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including systems, hardware, quality, and program management, to ensure cohesive execution and timely issue resolution.

What You Will Learn:

• You will learn and grow knowledge within the Strategic Nuclear Deterrence domain.

• You will gain valuable experience and have an opportunity to lead, including roles such as Scrum Master, Product Owner, CAM, and Software Lead.

• You will become a subject matter expert and leader in communication technologies with exposure to the variety of business and products in an ever-evolving field. We are growing, so can you.

  

 Qualifications You Must Have:

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience.

• A minimum of 5 years experience in software testing, systems verification, or formal qualification within high-integrity systems (aerospace, defense, automotive, or equivalent).

• Experience designing and executing end-to-end test campaigns, including integration, system-level, and formal qualification testing.

• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices and tools, including exposure to architecture models and interface control documents.

• Previous professional experience with structured development lifecycles, test methodologies, requirements analysis, and change/configuration management in compliance-driven environments.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS), including development, debugging, and performance optimization of embedded software applications.

• Experience supporting aerospace, defense, or nuclear command-and-control systems governed by standards such as DO-178C, MIL-STD-498, or equivalent.

• Exposure to Earned Value Management (EVM) and understanding of how test progress integrates into broader program performance metrics.

• Background in hardware-software integration, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, or working within real-time embedded environments.

• Familiarity with test automation frameworks, test management suites, defect tracking tools, and requirements management platforms.

• Experience with MBSE tools that support formal systems engineering disciplines.
