As Automated Testing Module Lead, you take ownership of how Harmattan validates its autonomy and flight-software stack. Today, our software is validated mostly against real hardware, a process that consumes airframes, range time, and crew while sampling only a handful of nominal trajectories. The cases we actually build for, such as degraded GNSS, sensor dropout, electronic warfare, and multi-agent situations, are rarely reached economically that way. Your mission is to establish the scenario library, execution strategy, and interface bricks to turn our existing simulation platform into a fast, reliable, and continuous validation engine.
This is a senior, hands-on technical leadership role. You inherit an active team of four engineers across Paris and Lausanne, with a target of around eight by mid-2027. Beyond leading the team, you become the technical authority on our scenario-based testing: defining what runs across SITL, HITL, and CI, holding critical technical boundaries with adjacent teams, and bridging the gap between simulation fidelity and real flight data.
