Embedded Software Engineer

About the role

As an Embedded Software Engineer your core responsibility will be to write code that runs on custom avionics hardware for executing flight and ground test functions. You will work with avionics hardware engineers, GNC engineers, propulsion engineers, and others to develop performant and maintainable solutions. You will have the opportunity to contribute to many aspects of spacecraft development, including architecting new systems, doing quick prototypes, doing rigorous flight projects, and controlling flight hardware during ground tests.

Implement and improve low-level processor functions such as controls of peripherals, and setup of communication interfaces.
Implement and improve functions such as closed loop control of physical processes, and detection/response algorithms for failures such as broken sensors or radiation upsets.
Provide technical input on new system developments from an embedded software perspective.
Write scrappy code to support development testing of avionics and propulsion devices.
Write rigorous, reviewed, and tested code to support manufacturing and flight.

Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or scientific discipline; OR 2+ years of professional experience building software in lieu of a degree
1+ years' writing C/C++ code for an embedded system or vehicle of some kind (robot, car, drone, or spacecraft)
