job_description.job_card.job_descriptionArchitect and implement embedded flight software for the first satellite, including OS selection, mission management, command / data handling, and communications. Deliver highly reliable, modular, and remote-updatable software that can withstand the harsh conditions of low Earth orbit. Collaborate with avionics and hardware teams on processor / component selection and electrical system architecture. Integrate and support software for electromechanical subsystems : sensors, ADCS, motors, battery management, thermal controls, communications, deployment mechanisms, and cameras. Design embedded software systems that support subsystem hardware testing and validation. Implement comprehensive testing : unit tests, software simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL / flatsat). Set and uphold best practices for software development, version control, release, and validation. Scale the initial architecture for future vehicle generations. Significant experience developing embedded C and / or C++ software for autonomous electromechanical systems (e.g., satellites, robotics, drones, autonomous vehicles). Deep understanding of software design for high-reliability, fault-tolerant, and remotely updatable systems. Experience architecting and operating real-world electromechanical systems, ideally in aerospace or related high-stakes environments. Proven ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams on hardware / software integration. Thrive in highly autonomous environments—comfortable making decisions and moving fast, but know when to deliberate. Inventive mindset : seek new solutions for scalable, cost-effective space systems, not just legacy approaches. Experience with star trackers, ADCS, satellite communications, or deployment mechanisms. Prior work in early-stage startups or fast-paced hardware teams. Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field is required. A Master's degree or PhD in a relevant field is a strong plus. Equivalent hands-on experience developing embedded systems for spacecraft, robotics, drones, or other autonomous vehicles may be considered in lieu of a formal degree for exceptional candidates.
