Systems Engineer - Mission Performance

Preferred

• Creative problem solver who can apply first-principles physical and aerodynamic analyses to bridge gaps in incomplete flight datasets and establish design safety margins in high-uncertainty environments
• First-hand experience operating Part 23 or Part 25 aircraft, with an FAA-certificated ASEL or AMEL private, commercial, or Airline Transport Pilot certificate; alternatively, experience remotely piloting large military uncrewed aircraft
• Familiarity with aerospace development standards (e.g., ARP4754B, ARP4761) and airworthiness regulations (14 CFR Parts 23 and 25, especially performance criteria), and experience supporting systems safety engineering activities
• Experience supporting auto-flight, autopilot, GNC, or envelope protection functions, including analyzing automated software/hardware interfaces and physical system constraints
• This role is critical to us at Reliable Robotics, because it converts complex, first-principles physical and environmental aircraft limits into the precise, quantitative requirements that keep our self-flying aircraft safe under any conditions.
• This role can be remote, or located at our headquarters in Mountain View, CA, Seattle, WA or San Diego, CA.
• Must be willing to travel up to 10% of the time.
• This position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls. An offer of employment will be contingent upon the applicant’s capacity to perform in compliance with U.S. export control laws.
