About the role

  • We differentiate ourselves as the first modem-less and gateway-less, direct-to-satellite network from off-the-shelf Bluetooth® Low Energy chips.
  • Hubble is ideal for applications in logistics, AgTech, and maritime where economies of scale for volume consumer and enterprise asset tracking is a priority.
  • Our goal is to be the first billion-endpoint-connected network in the world.

Responsibilities

  • Embedded Linux Systems: Design, implement, and maintain embedded Linux systems for satellite payloads, including kernel configuration, driver development, and system optimization for resource-constrained space hardware.
  • Low-Level Driver Development: Develop and debug device drivers for common interfaces (SPI,I2C, UART, Ethernet) and peripherals including ADCs, DACs, DDR memory controllers, and custom hardware.
  • Flight Software Architecture: Contribute to the design and implementation of satellite flight software, including command & data handling, telemetry systems, and autonomous operations.
  • Hardware Bring-Up: Lead board bring-up activities for new hardware, working closely with electrical engineers to validate designs, debug interfaces, and commission new systems.
  • Space Environment Considerations: Design software with awareness of space-specific challenges including radiation effects (SEUs, latch-up), thermal constraints, and power budgets.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: You'll interface with RF engineers, digital design engineers, mechanical engineers, and operations staff to ensure software meets system-level needs.
  • We're building a global Bluetooth® network dedicated to machine-to-machine connectivity.
  • In their previous lives, the founding team has been successful in raising $100s of millions in venture funding, developing the Amazon Sidewalk network, launching billions of dollars of space assets, and leading their teams to successful exits, both through acquisition and IPO.
  • This is a hands-on role where you will work closely with our hardware, RF, and operations teams to develop high-reliability embedded software that powers our constellation.
  • Design, implement, and maintain embedded Linux systems for satellite payloads, including kernel configuration, driver development, and system optimization for resource-constrained space hardware.

Requirements

  • 5+ Years of Experience: Proven track record of delivering embedded systems for production hardware, preferably in Aerospace, Defense, or other high-reliability domains.
  • Embedded Linux Proficiency: Solid experience with embedded Linux (kernel configuration, device drivers, build root/Yocto, or similar).
  • Space Systems (Optional): Experience designing for the space environment, including radiation hardening techniques, thermal management, and understanding of single-event effects.
  • Proven track record of delivering embedded systems for production hardware, preferably in Aerospace, Defense, or other high-reliability domains.
  • Solid experience with embedded Linux (kernel configuration, device drivers, build root/Yocto, or similar).
  • Demonstrated ability to work with SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, and other common protocols.

Skills

  • Experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers is essential.
  • Comfortable using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers to troubleshoot hardware and software issues.
  • Expert-Level Python: Strong Python skills for scripting, automation, test frameworks, and ground system integration.
  • Hardware Interface Experience: Demonstrated ability to work with SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, and other common protocols.
  • Experience with ADCs, DACs, and memory interfaces (DDR).
  • Hardware Debug
  • Why Join Hubble?
  • Technical Challenge: Work on embedded systems that operate in one of the most demanding environments-space.
  • Impact: Your software will enable the connectivity of billions of Bluetooth devices from orbit.
  • Next-Generation Platform: Help define the software architecture for Hubble's future satellite generations.
  • Compensation & Benefits
  • 💰 Salary: $126,000.00 - $249,000.00/year (final compensation is determined by experience level, technical depth, and interview performance)
