About the role

If you want to work alongside some of the most dedicated and talented people on Earth, we'd love to have you join us.
Description Reusable launch systems are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space.
This role is the translation layer between our vehicle software team, the rest of the physical vehicle (avionics, engines, fluids, etc.), and our vehicle operators.

Own the lifecycle and software configuration of our HIL and ground support equipment (GSE) to ensure seamless integration across our unified vehicle software stack
P artner with hardware teams to design, build, and integrate GSE racks and checkout carts for test and launch operations
S upport hardware teams and help our own vehicle software team prioritize feature requests based on their needs
That is why we're building Nova, our fully and rapidly reusable launch vehicle.
Designed for daily flight, Nova tackles the core challenges of space transportation by reducing cost, increasing availability, and improving reliability.
By radically lowering launch costs and increasing flight cadence, we're helping create a truly scalable space industry.
One day you might be writing scripts to manage fleet configurations, and the next you will be physically building out HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) racks or designing the architecture for a new checkout cart to get Nova to the pad.

1+ years of professional experience in software development, hardware integration, or systems engineering
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
Hands-on experience with physical hardware integration, test equipment, and rack setup
Experience managing and tracking a fleet of hardware deployments across multiple test and operational environments
Demonstrated ability to write software in systems languages, particularly Rust, within a Linux environment
Strong systems-thinking approach with the ability to troubleshoot complex electromechanical anomalies from the software layer down to the physical hardware

Experience with autonomous systems
Experience in technical project management or leading cross-functional engineering initiatives
Familiarity with hardware communication protocols (CAN, RS422/485, LVDS), PLCs, and data acquisition (DAQ) systems
Experience read ing, understand ing, and creating technical documentation, system diagrams, and /or electrical schematics
