Staff Software Engineer, Space Special Programs
The Staff Software Engineer joins the Space Special Programs team to lead the software engineering lifecycle for spacecraft and space systems. This role involves architecting and implementing flight, ground test, and ground station software at both embedded and application levels. You will lead a team to develop deeply embedded software, data protocols, RF communication, machine learning, computer vision, and control algorithms for computationally-restricted environments. Key responsibilities include designing host-side software for GUIs, database interactions, and compression, while ensuring high-reliability standards like fault detection and data redundancy. You will use embedded C, device drivers, and FPGA-interfacing skills to solve complex space architecture problems. The work focuses on developing unique, mission-critical capabilities for spacecraft operating in LEO through GEO environments to ensure survival and success in challenging operational environments.
