What you need

  • Bachelor's degree completed, or expected before start date, in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Applied Math, or a closely related technical field.
  • Strong academic or project-based grounding in data structures, algorithms, computer architecture, operating systems, embedded or real-time software, networking, software design, controls/autonomy software, or related software engineering fundamentals.
  • Demonstrated hands-on software engineering experience through internships, research, student spacecraft or robotics teams, capstone projects, personal projects, open-source work, laboratories, competitive programming, or prior employment.
  • Ability to break down ambiguous software problems, identify assumptions and interfaces, design appropriate architectures or algorithms, make reasonable implementation tradeoffs, and validate work through unit tests, simulation, integration testing, hardware-in-the-loop, telemetry, or data.
  • Clear written and verbal technical communication, including the ability to explain what was personally architected, coded, integrated, tested, deployed, or debugged versus what was completed by a team.
  • Comfort learning new spacecraft software architectures, interfaces, embedded platforms, tools, protocols, test methods, and mission concepts quickly in an environment where responsibilities may evolve with program needs.

Nice to have

  • Internship, research, co-op, or project experience in spacecraft, aerospace, robotics, autonomy, embedded systems, real-time software, defense technology, high-reliability software, or another technically demanding environment.
  • Experience taking a software feature, embedded application, autonomy component, simulation, service, or interface from concept and design into implementation, integration, test, deployment, or operation and using the results to drive changes.
  • Exposure to C/C++, Python, embedded or real-time software, Linux, networking, testing, simulation, robotics, autonomy, hardware-in-the-loop environments, flight software, or mission / ground software.

What you get

  • Base salary determined on a case-by-case basis, anticipated range is $80,000 - $105,000 annually.
  • Eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of the Employee Stock Option and Equity Plan.
  • Relocation bonus and other discretionary bonuses.
  • Access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage.
  • Unlimited Paid Time Off.

Worth weighing

  • No specific technologies or frameworks mentioned, so be prepared for a potentially broad tech stack.
  • Role requires hands-on work in the office, lab, integration, or test environment, which may not suit all remote work preferences.
  • Compliance with ITAR regulations may limit non-US applicants' eligibility for the role.
