Senior Test Application HW/SW Developer

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

To support this ambitious goal, we are seeking a Senior Test Application HW/SW Developer to join our Electrical Functional Test Team in Munich. You will be responsible for the design, implementation, and integration of automated test software applications used to validate electronics at various levels — from individual boards to full subsystems — across our verification and validation campaigns.

You will play a key role in shaping the test automation framework used on our Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) platforms, working in close collaboration with electrical, avionics, and system engineers.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

In your role as Senior Test Application HW/SW Developer , you will:

- Design, develop, and maintain test automation software for board-level, equipment-level, and subsystem-level testing

- Define and implement hardware and software architectures tailored to specific test scenarios and HiL environments

- Develop LabVIEW-based applications, for both desktop and real-time platforms (e.g., PXI, cRIO)

- Integrate and configure NI VeriStand as part of real-time test setups

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of hardware and software into functional test platforms

- Support test execution, data acquisition, logging, and automated reporting

- Create and maintain technical documentation, including architecture specifications, code documentation, and user guides

- Provide support for debugging, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of test platforms

YOU AND YOUR TEAM WILL BE IN CHARGE OF:

- Developing a robust and scalable test software framework supporting reuse and modularity across projects

- Implementing real-time data handling and I/O configuration throu...
