Wrote and implemented test software libraries using C++ to test various flight computer components of Europa Clipper and Mars Sample Return Lander prior to integration.Automated test procedures by writing Python scripts to replace our previously manual procedures, resulting in a large increase in number of scripts ran per day, as well as allowed for overnight regressions.Authored, executed, and debugged the results of hundreds of Python test scripts to validate verification items related to registers, memory, SpaceWire, uplink/downlink, DMA, 1553, etc.Converted a large amount of legacy TCL based scripts to Python.Contributed to the architecture and code of various parts of the team’s test framework.Developed a web-based dashboard to efficiently communicate the project’s test requirement status to upper management; also gave users a means to easily filter through and view test results, as well as an API for users to upload/download test results to/from the dashboard.Trained new team members and interns in testbed startup, operating the test framework and simulation software equipment, as well as how to write Python scripts utilizing our test software.Utilized Simulation Software Equipment to simulate communication between spacecraft and ground and test functionalities such as uplink/downlink and SpaceWire.
