Job Description:
This role is hands-on and highly collaborative, requiring experience with safety-critical software systems and familiarity with airborne software safety processes (DO-178C, ARP4761, ARP4754A, and/or MIL-HDBK-516C). It requires strong software system intuition, and a software engineering background. You will serve as a safety authority across the Hivemind platform team, ensuring that safety considerations are built into architecture decisions, requirements, code, and verification strategies from the outset - not bolted on at the end.
