Job Description
Aerospace Systems Engineer
Company Overview
Near Earth Autonomy is creating a future where autonomous flight is commonplace and safe. Our technology enables aircraft ranging in scale from sub-meter to full scale to autonomously inspect, map, survey, and transport. We are serious about system design, development, real-world testing, and delivering to customers working, useful systems.
Job Responsibilities and Duties
The Systems Engineer (SE) will contribute to the development of autonomy systems for aviation. This role will support the development, integration, and testing process, focusing on requirements authoring and validation, system definition, design reviews, developmental testing, and hardware, software, and system verification. The SE will be embedded in a cross-functional product team, working closely with hardware, software, and robotics engineers, technical managers, and flight operations staff. The SE will help to improve systems processes over time to enable operational deployment of safe and effective autonomous aircraft.
