- Contribute to the design and development of other embedded sub‑systems
- Develop real‑time embedded software using an RTOS
- Create test and simulation fixtures that operate with both software‑ and hardware‑in‑the‑loop
- Develop modelling and simulation capabilities that capture appropriate data during testing so that models can be updated and validated
- Analyse test data captured from control systems, subsystems, and other test instrumentation to verify vehicle performance, evaluate GNC algorithm and controller behaviour, or debug incidents
- Drive light‑weight root cause analyses for vehicle anomalies or incidents that are tied to GNC responsibilities
- Support vehicle manufacturing and deployment
- Work as a member of a multi‑disciplinary team, including as a mentor for Software and Hardware Engineers from differing backgrounds
