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
