The Senior Software Engineer joins the Space Special Programs team to develop, test, and operate unique spacecraft and space systems. As a team lead and individual contributor, you will architect and implement the full lifecycle of flight, ground test, and ground station software at both embedded and application levels. Key responsibilities include designing software architectures for mission requirements, managing data protocols, and overseeing FPGA-interfacing, computer vision, and algorithm implementation in computationally-restricted environments. You will utilize embedded C, device drivers, machine learning, and RF communication to build high-reliability systems featuring fault detection and data redundancy. This role addresses the challenge of providing mission-critical capabilities for spacecraft operating in expanding environments, requiring the integration of host-side GUIs, databases, and complex machine-to-machine communications to ensure effective operation with limited personnel.
