Software Engineer, Satellite Operations

What you'll do

• Architect and develop mission automation software to enable "lights-out" operation of a satellite constellation.
• Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation to lead anomaly responses and conduct post-incident reviews.
• Author clear operational procedures and runbooks for the operations team to resolve system issues.
• Trace telemetry discrepancies across cloud services and ground systems to perform root-cause investigations.
• Develop and maintain continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) pipelines for mission automation software.
• Interpret design documents and interface control documents (ICDs) to define and validate automation features.
• Navigate large, unfamiliar codebases spanning both embedded and cloud-based systems to implement new functionality.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Aerospace Engineering.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including production Python.
• Ability to independently navigate and reason about large, unfamiliar code repositories spanning embedded and cloud-based software.
• Hands-on fluency with Linux, Mac OS, cloud service APIs, modern command-line usage, and HTTP tooling.
• Experience working with CI and production CD pipelines for a software service.
• Experience using design documents and ICDs as foundations for an operational service.
• Eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled technology and technical data regulated under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
• Experience developing automation of satellite constellations or fleets of autonomous vehicles/drones (preferred); embedded development, RF/DSP concepts, or 24/7 operations experience (preferred).
