About the job

About Poseidon Aerospace

Poseidon Aerospace is reimagining how the world moves goods. We build and operate full-size autonomous cargo aircraft - capable of carrying two tons of payload over a thousand nautical miles. From remote communities to contested logistics operations, our platforms unlock a new cost curve for air freight, making it faster, cheaper, and accessible anywhere it's needed. Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area with locations in Washington DC, Oregon, and Maine; we're building something consequential.

About the role

Test and Validation finds problems on the ground before they show up in flight. As a Test and Validation Engineer you will build and run the hardware-in-the-loop benches, simulation environments, and automated validators that every flight software release and every piece of avionics hardware must pass before it goes on the aircraft. You will also design and run environmental and durability tests on aircraft hardware. The faster you find faults, the faster the aircraft flies.

Responsibilities

• Bring up and maintain hardware-in-the-loop benches with flight computers, actuators, sensors, and power hardware in the loop
