We’re hiring an Embedded Flight Software Engineer to develop and maintain the software that powers spacecraft systems. In this role, your code will connect flight computers to thrusters, sensors, and telemetry—playing a direct role in mission success.

You’ll work in a collaborative, cross-functional environment with avionics, propulsion, GNC, and integration teams, building software that must perform flawlessly in orbit. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys low-level coding, hardware bring-up, and solving complex real-time challenges.

  • Implement telemetry, command handling, control loops, and fault management

  • Debug and integrate software with avionics and subsystem hardware

  • Contribute to in-orbit update mechanisms and test environments

Qualifications

  • Strong embedded development experience (C/C++, RTOS, hardware bring-up)

  • Familiarity with communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN, RS-422/485, etc.)

  • Hands-on debugging and integration with real hardware

  • Bachelor’s in Computer, Electrical, Aerospace Engineering, or related field

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary range: $130,000 – $160,000

  • Equity participation

  • Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), company-paid insurance

  • Unlimited PTO
We look forward to reviewing your application. We encourage everyone to apply - even if every box isn’t checked for what you are looking for or what is required.
