Software Engineer, Space Special Programs

What you'll do

• Implement the full lifecycle of flight, ground test, and ground station software at embedded and application levels.
• Develop software for communication, data storage, computer vision, and FPGA-interfacing tasks.
• Design and debug deeply embedded software including data protocols, RF communication, and control algorithms for restricted environments.
• Create host-side software for user interfaces, machine-to-machine communication, data analysis, and compression.
• Translate mission requirements into efficient, reusable software products for spacecraft systems.
• Establish internal guidelines and best practices for space flight software design, testing, and manufacturing.
• Conduct cross-discipline design reviews and develop customer-facing system design documentation and presentations.
• Drive rapid prototyping, design verification, and qualification activities to meet project schedules.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, electrical/computer engineering, or a similar technical field.
• 3-4+ years of software engineering experience developing embedded, host, and product-specific software.
• Experience writing embedded C code, device drivers, and implementing algorithms with limited computational and storage resources.
• Experience writing host-level code for GUIs, database interactions, and protocol interfaces for spacecraft systems.
• Experience on mature spacecraft development programs including operational and environmental testing.
• Experience developing design artifacts such as Design Review materials (CoDR, SDR, PDR, CDR, TRR) and technical documentation.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen and able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
• M.S. in aerospace, mechanical, computer science, or a similar engineering field (preferred).
