Senior Software QA Engineer to own system testing for Firestorm's avionics platform—embedded Linux and RTOS flight computers, board support packages, device drivers, and safety-critical data paths. You will design and execute risk-based test strategies (feature/bring-up, exploratory, regression, acceptance) and build automation across HIL/SIL rigs exercising real buses (CAN/CAN-FD, UART, SPI, I²C, Ethernet) and links (MAVLink, Tactical Data Links) under fault conditions. You will instrument diagnostics, triage defects, and harden robustness for timing, jitter, packet loss, brownouts, and recovery paths before Flight Test. This is a full-time onsite role in San Diego requiring hands-on bench work with flight computers, power systems, radios, and sensors.
