Job Description:

As a Flight Software Test Automation Engineer you will build robust, automated quality gates for mission-critical satellite flight software. You will be at the heart of how ICEYE validates and safeguards the software flying on our next-generation missions. By developing hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) based automation, you will transform how we test, release, and continuously improve our flight software.

Job Responsibility:

  • Building up automation tests that make use of HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) in order to create holistic system level quality gates for software development
  • Utilize SIL (software-in-the-loop) simulation testing infrastructure to further increase our automation coverage and release confidence of satellite software
  • Adding new testing workflows that work in unison with existing reusable workflows of the framework
  • Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) to onboard new projects and environments into the automated testing and deployment workflow
  • Reporting results of QA activities and find easily reproducible steps for bugs that you can collaborate with engineers to establish fixes
  • Be able to isolate signals from the noise, and provide feedback that eases the work of your colleagues
  • Test case creation and continuous test maintenance for new features being developed
  • You will own the core of the testing, by writing, running and reporting on continuous testing you will help build quality software

Requirements:

  • Proficient in Python and shell scripting in Linux-based environments
  • Having been working with test automation frameworks in the past, including CI/CD tools such as Github Actions
  • Worked within the software development lifecycle, involved in testing and automation best practices, CI/CD principles
  • Exposure to hardware testing, integrating automated testing pipelines and coordinating robust lab-based test execution
  • Have a proactive, dynamic problem-solving attitude and a mindset to work as one to deliver a high quality product
  • A motivated generalist who thrives in hands-on, interdisciplinary environments
  • A disciplined tinkerer, someone who loves figuring out how systems work
  • Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken
What we offer:
  • A yearly benefit budget to spend as you wish (MyBenefit e.g. sport, transport, wellness, lunch, tourism, etc.)
  • Relocation support (e.g. flight tickets, accommodation, relocation agency support etc.)
  • Time for self-development, research, training, conferences, or certification schemes
  • Polish language lessons
  • Occupational and private healthcare and life insurance
  • Inspiring and collaborating offices and silent workspaces enable you to focus
  • Health insurance
  • Creative, inspiring and collaborative office
