About the role

The software will initially be tested on the satellite prototype in a lab environment "flatsat" that simulates orbit operations.
We are looking for engineers who enjoy a challenge and have a track record of creative thinking to solve unconventional problems.
This is a small team, so you will work alongside experienced engineers and take ownership of systems early.

We build spacecraft fast!
Contributing to the design of software solutions critical to the operation of our spacecraft, and developing these as Linux applications that run on satellite flight systems.
Working in a small, agile team to execute the software development lifecycle (requirements definition, design, implementation, test, and verification) across many individual projects.
Participating in design and code reviews, and collaborating with the team to uphold best practices for the flight software codebase.
Developing test software to support unit, integration, and system testing of all flight software functions.

Proficiency in at least one systems programming language such as C, C++, or Rust, demonstrated through professional work, significant academic/personal projects, or open-source contributions.
Familiarity with Linux and operating system principles.
Familiarity with Git and the fundamentals of CI/CD systems.
A Bachelor's degree or higher in Software, Computer, Electrical, Aerospace, or a related engineering field, or equivalent practical experience.

Several years of professional software engineering experience.
Network and socket programming experience, particularly for telemetry or commanding interfaces.
Experience with inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms.
Advanced knowledge of the Rust programming language.
Familiarity with embedded Linux systems, including the Yocto/OpenEmbedded project.
Experience with hardware-in-the-loop integration and testing.
