I'm really curious what the Software QA process is like at a company like this (or any company where automation failure can result in loss of life).

  From comments I've read, abysmal, in the sense the Quality people are told they aren't there to keep the plane from falling out of the sky, but rather to generate audit trail so that if a disaster happens, the cause is traceable. My personal approach to Software QA is generally more in line with the role fulfilled by a Systems Engineer, so I'm intensely uncomfortable having read Quality may be culturally interpreted in such a perverse manner. Funny thing about Quality is you find exactly what you look for. Start out making a system that only suffers traceable disasters, and you get a different product than one which focuses on not suffering disasters in the first place.
