You will define and build the infrastructure used to deploy and validate these systems across flight computers, radios and payload processors, and create internal tooling to support fast hardware debug in the lab and on the production floor. You will also represent software and firmware concerns in cross disciplinary product development and communicate technical risks and integration status clearly to programme teams.
