Hiring: Software & Simulation Test Design Engineer Company: ispace, inc. Location: Englewood, CO Job Posted Time: 2026-09-16 12:24:04 Employment Type: Hybrid Target Skills & Keywords : Aerospace Engineering, C++, CI/CD, Embedded Systems, Java, LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python, Simulink About the job Experience: •5+ years of software engineering experience with significant focus on test systems or infrastructure Required Skills: •Design and evolve a modular, global test framework supporting unit, integration, system, and simulation-based testing. Define reusable abstractions, APIs, and libraries for consistent implementation, including fault injection scenarios such as sensor dropouts, thruster misfires, and communication delays. •Architect scalable simulation environments and virtual testbeds with seamless HIL/SIL integration, covering orbital mechanics, space environments (vacuum, radiation, thermal), and spacecraft dynamics including attitude control and propulsion. •Common testing strategies, naming conventions, data formats, and reporting standards across regions. Define quality metrics, coverage standards, and quality gates; lead architecture and test design reviews to enforce best practices. •Build and standardize automated test pipelines within CI/CD workflows, ensuring tests are reliable, reproducible, and scalable across distributed environments. •Ensure test systems support large-scale simulations, high data throughput, and long-duration runs — including thousands of simulated missions across launch windows, environmental variations, and anomaly scenarios. Optimize for speed, determinism, and debuggability. •Partner cross-functionally with global engineering teams to drive adoption of the test framework. Contribute to resource estimation, schedule planning, and risk identification. Embody ispace values — Diversity, Integrity, Respect, Collaboration, and Accountability — and stay current on emerging tools and methodologies. Qualifications: •B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field •Proven track record designing scalable test frameworks or platforms •Strong programming skills in Python, C++, Java, or similar •Solid understanding of software V&V principles •Operational familiarity with ITAR/EAR requirements for sharing technical data internationally •What Makes You Stand Out •Background in safety-critical industries (aerospace, automotive, robotics, or defense) •Knowledge of distributed systems, cloud-based test infrastructure, and LabVIEW •Operational familiarity with orbital mechanics, control theory, and embedded flight software constraints •Demonstrated capacity to thrive in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities; willingness to travel (<10%) Compensation: •$101,000 - $151,000 / year •Flexible work environment (work from home / hybrid options) •Competitive medical, vision, and dental plans, with 100% company-paid options available for employees Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
