We're looking for a motivated, detail-oriented engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and is eager to solve complex technical challenges. As a member of Astrobotic's Software & Controls Team, you'll play a direct role in advancing the future of commercial lunar exploration and helping make history as we deliver payloads to the Moon—and beyond.\nResponsibilities include:\nDesign test plans and test procedures to validate and verify spacecraft software and hardware, including rocket engines, inertial measurement units, star trackers, radar systems, sun sensors, thermal controllers, lidar, and guidance, navigation and control algorithms designed to autonomously navigate a spacecraft to the moon and land on it.\nDevelop software testing infrastructure and tests within it that facilitate easily verifying that spacecraft systems function the same across platforms with varying combinations of emulators and spacecraft hardware.\nImprove the capabilities of software testing infrastructure to support both developer and automated testing needs, enabling tighter integration between developers and testers.\nExecute test procedures manually in cases where multi-million dollar spacecraft hardware is involved, and report regressions. Ideally develop the automated system so that manual testing follows automated testing closely.\nExpand tests that run autonomously on a nightly basis against a continuous integration pipeline across different test platforms, for increased test coverage across more systems.\nWrite bug tickets when software issues are incurred as part of our verification process.\nDevelop automatic reporting tools and mechanisms to improve understanding of how failed and passed tests map to subsystem-level requirements.\nBenchmark and analyze spacecraft system performance across all flight modes.\nHelp identify and resolve anomalous software behavior.\nWork with a small team of developers, engineers and technicians to proactively solve problems found through testing the spacecraft software system.\nOther responsibilities may include:\nManage and schedule test regressions and test resources.\nManage test software repositories for multiple projects.\nPerform acceptance tests and trace tested features back to requirements\nCollect, analyze and present test metrics.\nRequired Qualifications:\nA bachelor’s or graduate degree, ideally in a technical field.\nMinimum five years of relevant work experience\nProficiency with Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)\nProficiency with scripting languages (e.g. Python)\nDemonstrated ability to build and test distributed software and/or hardware systems.\nDemonstrated ability to lead anomaly investigation activities involving multiple experts.\nBeneficial Qualifications:\nKnowledge of formal software V and V processes.\nProficiency with software configuration management tools (e.g. git).\nExperience with containers (e.g. Docker) and virtual machines (e.g. QEMU).\nExperience with Linux and other embedded operating systems.\nFamiliarity with coding safety standards (e.g. MISRA-C).\nFamiliarity with communication protocols (e.g. CCSDS, Ethernet, RS-422, TCP/IP, I2C, QAM, RS-232, Spacewire, CAN, GPIO, IPC, MIL1553, RS-485).\nFamiliarity with electronic test equipment including oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.\nFamiliarity with electrical circuit dynamics.\nFamiliarity with environmental testing (e.g. EMC/EMI, thermal-vacuum testing).\nFamiliarity with some of the systems that the software system is driving including multi-DOF spacecraft controls, thermal systems, RF communications systems, avionics systems, and power systems.","company":"Astrobotic Technology","rawCompany":"astrobotic technology","city":"Pittsburgh","state":"PA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-07-21T02:00:24.784Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1253.00","title":"Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers","slug":"software-quality-assurance-analysts-and-testers"},{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"},{"code":"17-2112.02","title":"Validation Engineers","slug":"validation-engineers"}],"industries":[{"code":"927110","title":"Space Research and Technology","slug":"space-research-and-technology"},{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Software Integration & Test Engineer","description":"Astrobotic Technology is seeking a Software & Test Integration Engineer to help plan, integrate, and execute software verification and test activities for our next generation of lunar landers.\nIn this role, you'll work alongside a talented, multidisciplinary team to ensure mission-critical software performs flawlessly—from the lab to launch and ultimately on the lunar surface.
