Description

We're on the hunt for a top-tier Embedded Software Developer. Your focus will be on software development and maintenance required for both space and ground-based assets for a growing fleet of spacecraft. You'll be relied upon for input and decisions that will directly impact design and operation.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop reliable, high-quality software related to:
• Onboard software for our next generation of satellites
• Embedded Linux for both space and ground systems
• Firmware and drivers for IoT modules
• Writing thorough tests and documentation.
• Participating in software design review and code review processes.
• Work with electrical, digital design, and operations teams to identify required features and solidify the system architecture.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers.
• Identify shortcomings in existing software components and direct future development efforts.

Requirements

• 5+ years of embedded software development experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent.
• Strong software design and development skills, including algorithms, testing, and debugging.
• Proficiency in C/C++, especially in embedded topics such as interrupt handlers, concurrency, memory-mapped peripherals, and hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, CAN).
• Experience with embedded operating systems and build systems, including OpenEmbedded/Yocto and FreeRTOS.
• Embedded Linux experience including writing kernel modules, device trees, and drivers.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Ability to effectively use git.

Bonus Points

• Master's degree.
• Python development experience.
• Experience developing software for aerospace applications.
• Experience developing multi-stage bootloaders.
• Strong knowledge of computer networking and modern networking protocols.
• Experience with RTL (Verilog and/or VHDL) and embedded SoCs.
• Hardware debugging experience (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.).
• Experience with ARM assembly.

Note: If you feel strongly that you have what it takes for this role but don’t check 100% of the boxes—that’s okay—we encourage you to apply anyway and highlight what you can bring to the table.
