The Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced
Flight Software Verification and Validation (V&V) Test Engineer
to support the Lunar Gateway Program. This position involves reviewing flight software requirements, defining, implementing, and executing test cases for V&V of Gateway level 2 flight software and associated data products. The role utilizes Gateway test labs and develops test scripts for automated verification testing.
A strong background in systems engineering is required, including experience with system architecture, integration, and performance analysis; scripting skills (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell) are a plus for automation and tool development. The engineer will define verification test success criteria and analyze test results for verification of Gateway level 2 flight software requirements, and will play a key role in scripting the test automation scheme.
This position requires a self‑motivated, capable person with strong verbal and written communication skills. In addition to outstanding technical expertise, the individual must be people savvy, have strong customer relationship skills, possess a positive team‑player attitude, be flexible, and willing to take on new assignments and responsibilities as they arise. The most qualified candidate will be an articulate speaker able to communicate complex technical ideas convincingly, share our passion for the Nation’s Space Program, and contribute to the excitement of developing future human‑rated space vehicles.
Responsibilities
Review and provide feedback on Level 2 flight software requirements from a verification perspective.
Adhere to JSC flight software development processes for performing and documenting V&V testing.
Write flight software V&V test cases.
Perform V&V testing of flight software and data products in test labs including Gateway Software Verification Lab (GSVL) and Gateway ready Avionics Integration Lab (GrAIL).
Extract and analyze detailed test results.
Verify Level 2 flight software requirements.
Identify software deficiencies in meeting requirements.
Perform audit and inspection of Level 3 flight software testing.
Develop Python scripts for automating verification tests.
This work takes place at NASA/JSC in Houston, TX, a highly stimulating and dynamic environment that is critical in human space flight and the space exploration initiative.
Qualifications
Required:
Must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident for access to U.S. Government facilities.
B.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer or Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related disciplines required.
At least 3 years of related work experience as either a software developer or test engineer writing scripts. Greater experience is highly valued.
Experience with Python scripting for automated testing.
Experience working in a Linux environment.
Experience defining software test cases.
Experience developing test scripts.
Experience evaluating software requirements from a verification perspective.
Knowledge of object‑oriented design in any programming language.
Must be flexible, open to new challenges in a dynamic environment, and possess strong verbal and written communication skills.
Ability to manage multiple priorities with little supervision.
Must be a highly responsible, team‑oriented individual with strong work ethic.
Must have highly developed coordination and organization skills.
Desired:
M.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer or Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related disciplines.
Experience automating verification tests.
Experience with spacecraft or aircraft flight software verification and certification. Experience in the automobile or autonomous vehicle industry is also highly valued.
Experience with RESTful APIs.
Software development background, particularly in Python.
Experience with Python to design and implement a test scripting scheme that interfaces with a RESTful API.
Experience writing flight software requirements.
Experience with Time‑Triggered Ethernet (TTE)
Experience in human‑rated safety‑critical flight software in aerospace or other industries.
Vehicle‑wide knowledge of space vehicle systems.
Pay Range : $76,000 - $155,700 USD.
Benefits : CACI offers competitive compensation, benefits and learning and development opportunities, including healthcare, wellness, financial, retirement, family support, continuing education and time‑off benefits.
