Corvid's Prototyping, Integration and Testing team is looking to add an experienced System Safety Engineer to support our growing product portfolio โ€“ and that growth is in both number of products as well as complexity. The engineer will join a matrixed team working to finalize development, test, and ultimately produce launch systems for DoW customers.

  • Develop verification plans and support related test activity, including analyzing data and developing required artifacts
  • Collaborate with various engineering teams to embed safety features and fault tolerance into the design process
