We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

Our Flight Software team is at the core of Reliable’s autonomy mission, building safety critical embedded flight software, maturing next generation detect and avoid and communications technology, FPGA designs, and simulation and test infrastructure. We’re deeply involved in all aspects of the development and certification of the Reliable Robotics autonomy stack, and play a central role in bringing our aircraft to life.

Responsibilities 

As a Flight Software Manager at Reliable Robotics, you’ll lead and grow the team responsible for the safety critical flight software that makes the aircraft fly. You’ll own the maturation of engineering processes to balance immediate engineering execution with formal DO-178C verification, supporting rapid integration and testing of GNC algorithms while building out the software architecture for certification.

You’ll provide technical and architectural guidance on flight software components, from flight controls to redundancy management. You’ll work closely with leads across Guidance, Navigation, and Controls (GNC), Avionics, Systems, and Hardware to develop and execute technical roadmaps, manage priorities, and ensure your team is unblocked and empowered to deliver robust, reliable, and certifiable flight software enabling advanced autonomy.

Basic Success Criteria

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace, Computer Science, or related discipline 
  • 7+ years of professional experience in real-time embedded software development (C/C++)
  • 3+ years in a technical leadership or people management role
  • Experience working on complex systems where hardware and software intersect
  • Experience with Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) algorithms, flight dynamics, and state estimation

Preferred Criteria

  • Demonstrated success scaling teams and maturing development processes in a high-growth environment
  • Experience designing and implementing fault-tolerant systems and redundancy management schemes
  • Experience working through the full lifecycle of a DO-178C certification program
  • Professional experience with Python for tooling, test, and data analysis

This role is located onsite at our HQ in Mountain View, CA. Must be willing to travel 10% of the time.

The estimated salary range for this position is $180,000 to $260,000/annual salary + cash and stock option awards + benefits.  At Reliable Robotics, we strive to provide competitive and rewarding compensation based on experience and expertise, as well as market conditions, location, and pay equity.  

In addition to base compensation, Reliable Robotics offers stock options, employee medical, 401k contribution, great co-workers and a casual work environment.

This position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls. An offer of employment will be contingent upon the applicant’s capacity to perform in compliance with U.S. export control laws.

All applicants are asked to provide documentation that legally establishes status as a U.S. person or non-U.S. person (and nationalities in the case of a non-U.S. person). Where the applicant is not a U.S. person, meaning not a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful permanent resident, (iii) refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or not otherwise permitted to access the export-controlled technology without U.S. government authorization, the Company reserves the right not to apply for an export license for such applicants whose access to export-controlled technology or software source code requires authorization and may decline to proceed with the application process and any offer of employment on that basis.

At Reliable Robotics, our goal is to be a diverse and inclusive workforce.  As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, creed, ancestry, sex, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or related medical conditions), gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, non-disqualifying physical or mental disability or medical conditions, national origin, military or veteran status, genetic information, marital status, or any other basis covered by applicable law. All employment and promotion is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need.
