What you'll do

• Design and implement software integrations for gimbals, EO/IR sensors, radios, and other mission payloads.
• Define and maintain reusable interfaces between payloads and the vehicle software stack.
• Implement device drivers and protocol handlers based on vendor interface control documents.
• Build simulation, emulation, and hardware-in-the-loop test infrastructure to evaluate payload behavior.
• Support integration events, ground tests, and flight tests while root-causing software and hardware issues.
• Scope and deliver payload integrations for customer projects on tight timelines.
• Develop safety-critical software for arming and weapons-related payloads.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of professional software development experience in embedded systems, robotics, or hardware integration.
• Strong experience with Rust and/or C++, plus working proficiency in Python.
• Hands-on experience integrating hardware over common interfaces and protocols like UART, CAN, Ethernet, SPI, or I2C.
• Experience reading datasheets and ICDs to implement robust software and debugging at the hardware/software boundary.
• Experience developing on Linux-based systems.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.
• Active U.S. security clearance, or the ability to obtain one (preferred).
