  • Configure standard onboard software components for customers' payloads and support the deployment and troubleshooting internally and externally

  • Own and evolve the tools for onboard software creation, versioning, testing, and release management while providing transparent, up-to-date status tracking for all stakeholders across programs and missions.

  • Collaborate closely with the broader Engineering and Satellite Operations teams to ensure the rapid, reliable, and thoroughly tested deployment of onboard software for customers.


Must Haves:



  • Experience in Python and C++

  • Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (gitlab-ci, teamcity, travis-ci)

  • Automated testing frameworks

  • Experience in data serialization/deserialization (yaml, json, cue)

  • Previous experience as Flight Software Engineer or Software Integration Engineer or Software Test Engineer or Software Engineer with a focus on Automated Testing

  • Ability to troubleshoot and effectively communicate issues and solutions


Nice to Haves:



  • Experience in Embedded Linux Operation

  • Experience in build systems (make, cmake)

  • Experience in Networking (UDP, TCP, IP)

  • Experience in Software Integration - Making all the pieces work together

  • Experience in or close to Satellite Operations
