September 2023 – January 2026

Software Verification Engineer II — Virgin Galactic

Verified safety critical software across multiple line replaceable units (LRUs) for carrier vehicles and spaceships. I worked hands-on with real-time systems, automated test benches, and multidisciplinary engineering teams to validate requirements and software behavior.

Key Contributions:
– Designed and documented requirements-based verification strategies for avionics software
– Translated verification procedures into automated Python scripts
– Collaborated with systems, avionics, and software engineers on integration, validation, and troubleshooting
– Contributed to the development and maintenance of automated verification frameworks
– Executed testing across simulated and hardware-in-the-loop environments

Selected Projects
Rocket Controller Unit (RCU)
Performed real-time verification using Python, NI VeriStand, and automated test frameworks to validate safety-critical behavior under timing constraints.
Data Acquisition Unit (DAU)
Developed and executed tests simulating UDP, CAN, and Serial communication pathways across different system configurations, validating data flow, decoding, and robustness.
Multifunction Display (MFD)
Performed UI verification using Python, including screenshot-based golden-image comparisons, OCR-based text verification, and behavioral validation across flight modes.
