About the role

As a part of the team, you will be responsible for the development and verification of the software used to fly some of the largest spacecraft that have ever been flown.

In your first 6 months you will develop core pieces of the software architecture including the strategies for fault tolerance, real-time control, and telemetry downlink.
In your first year you will implement larger software systems and begin verifying your code using both software and hardware in the loop simulators.
Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!

Backed by $450M from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, Redpoint Ventures, T.
The rise of heavy-lift launch vehicles is shifting the industry from an era of mass constraint to one of mass abundance, and we believe this new era demands a fundamentally different class of spacecraft.
If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a groundbreaking Series C space startup, we'd love for you to apply.
You will be able to write mission-critical code that controls propulsion systems, attitude control systems, and power systems to ensure safe and reliable operation of the vehicle.
In your first two years you will operate your code on multiple spacecraft, demonstrating robust performance in demanding missions.
