Job details:
Skyroot is building India's private orbital-class launch vehicles, and reliable software is core to how we test and qualify them before flight. We're looking for an experienced LabVIEW Software Verification Engineer to establish and lead an independent verification environment for our LabVIEW/cRIO-based Ground Checkout Systems and other avionics test systems.
In this role, you'll develop a deep understanding of complex LabVIEW-based Test Software — its architecture, execution flow, interfaces, and failure modes — so you can independently verify its behavior and drive root-cause analysis, separate from the team that builds it. You'll design and maintain automated verification infrastructure spanning test harnesses, virtual equipment/interface simulators, independent reference models, fault-injection mechanisms, timing analysis, and regression frameworks, using Python/C/C++ to build tooling that's reusable well beyond this one product.
We're looking for someone technically strong, self-directed, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced aerospace environment — and who's excited to help shape Software Reliability Engineering (SRE) and verification practices across the organization as we scale.
What you'll do
LabVIEW / cRIO Product Understanding
- Review and reverse-engineer complex LabVIEW VIs, VI hierarchies, state machines, and data flows to understand functional behavior, timing, and error handling
- Build strong working knowledge of LabVIEW/cRIO-based Ground Checkout Systems and their hardware/software interfaces
- Debug LabVIEW applications and investigate failures to support systematic root-cause analysis
Independent Verification
- Develop verification strategies and test cases covering nominal behavior, boundary conditions, negative scenarios, timing, and fault conditions
- Establish requirement-to-test-to-result traceability using ALM and configuration management tools
- Verify software behavior independently of the Design team's development work
Verification Infrastructure & Automation
- Design and maintain automated test harnesses, equipment/interface simulators, and independent reference models
- Build fault-injection, diagnostic, and timing-analysis tools to support robustness and performance testing
- Develop reusable, product-independent verification tooling in Python/C/C++ and integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines
- Establish regression-test frameworks for repeatable verification across software releases
Reliability, Quality & Collaboration
- Contribute to and continuously improve SRE, verification, and software quality practices across the organization
- Participate in architecture, design, and verification reviews from a reliability and testability lens
- Support release qualification with well-documented, traceable verification evidence
- Partner closely with Design, Embedded, FPGA, Electronics, and Systems teams, and mentor junior engineers in verification methodology
What you bring
- 3+ years of experience in LabVIEW software development, testing, verification, or automated test-system development
- Strong hands-on LabVIEW programming and debugging skills; solid understanding of VI architecture, dataflow programming, state machines, event-driven and producer-consumer design, and error handling
- Hands-on experience with NI cRIO/LabVIEW Real-Time is highly desirable
- Experience building automated test systems, test benches, ATE, or HIL setups
- Working knowledge of Python; experience with C/C++ is an advantage
- Familiarity with SDLC, verification methodologies, version control (Git), and requirements/configuration management
- Strong analytical, root-cause-analysis, and communication skills; self-motivated and able to work independently
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering (CSE/ECE/EEE/Instrumentation/Aerospace or related discipline)
Nice to have
- NI certifications (CLAD/CLD/CLA) or equivalent experience
- Experience with NI TestStand, LabVIEW Real-Time/cRIO FPGA, or HIL/ATE systems
- Experience with fault injection, reference-model development, or timing/performance analysis of real-time systems
- Familiarity with communication interfaces such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, UDP, serial, CAN, or RS-422/485
- Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins) and ALM tools (e.g., Polarion)
- Background in aerospace, automotive, industrial automation, or other safety/reliability-critical domains
- Exposure to standards such as DO-178C, ISO 26262, or equivalent software assurance practices
