About the role

  • Software bridges the gap between military objectives, theoretical astrodynamics and the human and autonomous control of spacecraft and ground systems in time and space.
  • This is a hands-on, high-autonomy, high-accountability role.
  • When you see reliability issues, you'll diagnose root causes, scope the fix, and champion the work to address them.

Responsibilities

  • Own and deliver complex distributed system features end-to-end, from technical design through production deployment and iteration across satellite command and control, mission planning, mission data processing, and data analysis systems
  • Lead architectural improvements through hands-on implementation, prototyping, debugging, and technical excellence.
  • Rapidly develop expertise in unfamiliar subsystems, software domains, and mission architectures as needed to support mission success.
  • Develop and improve software systems used for simulation, autonomy development, mission rehearsal, and operational test environments.
  • Drive software integration efforts across embedded, distributed, and cloud-connected systems.
  • Partner closely with software, autonomy, hardware, test, and operations teams to reduce technical friction and improve engineering velocity.
  • Support critical mission events, anomaly response, and operational debugging in fast-paced environments with incomplete information.
  • Mentor engineers through technical reviews, debugging sessions, and collaborative system design discussions.
  • Drive improvements to internal engineering tooling, workflows, and software development practices where they meaningfully increase team effectiveness.
  • Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, aerospace engineering, or related field.
  • 1 to 7+ years of experience building complex software systems across embedded, backend, validation, and operational domains.
  • Experience with low-level device driver development and safety-critical systems.
  • Experience with embedded RTOS environments such as RTLinux, VxWorks, or RTEMS.
  • Experience debugging complex multi-process, multi-threaded, or distributed systems under operational conditions.
  • Experience supporting spacecraft, robotics, defense, or other mission-critical operational systems.
  • 10+ years of experience in developing and/or producing flight software, GNC, simulation, or ground software for space applications.
  • Fluency with gRPC, RESTful, and WebSocket-based services, including debugging integration issues and contributing to API design discussions
  • Significant experience across several of the following areas:
  • Experience developing simulation environments for spaceflight physics
  • Understanding of autonomy, guidance, navigation, and control algorithms, including estimation, sensor fusion, targeting, and closed-loop control systems.
  • Experience in designing, building, and evolving service architectures and internal infrastructure that serve multiple products.
  • Strong familiarity with Linux development and debugging environments.
  • Ability to maintain or obtain TS/SCI clearance.

Skills

  • Master's degree in computer science, aerospace engineering, or related field.
