Embedded Software Engineer

Description

As an Embedded Software Engineer in the U.S. office, you will report to the Chief Technology Officer and work on our flight software, targeting products, such as our small satellite platforms for a variety of space applications, and avionics systems, such as on-board computers, radios, attitude control systems and many others.

You will play a crucial role in designing, developing, and optimizing embedded software our avionics systems and satellite platforms. You will collaborate with the rest of the team to develop, integrate and test portable software modules for on-board data handling and advanced processing as part of the flight software, while aiming at code reusability for future missions.

Specific duties include (but are not limited to):

• Design and develop software for our avionic systems.
• Work throughout the whole software development lifecycle, from requirements definition to test and result reporting.
• Configure and tailor the Real-time Operating Systems on our on-board computers.
• Participate in the integration and testing of the flight software on the avionics systems and satellites.
• Identify and support a core set of tools for performance analysis.
• Design and develop tools (e.g. scripts, simulators, digital twins, etc.) that help the team in providing high-quality flight software.
• Cooperate with other Engineering teams to define the system architecture and integrate software with specific hardware components and constraints.
• Support the path-to-production for the developed software solutions.
• Maintain software solutions deployed to orbit throughout the whole lifecycle of the satellites, supporting also the flight operations of our missions.

Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related fields.
• At least 3+ years of experience in embedded software development or relevant roles (relevant experience may be considered in lieu of education).
• Excellent skills in software design and development with C and C++.
• Good familiarity with real-time operating systems and software design techniques in multi-threading applications.
• Knowledge of GIT or other software versioning applications.
• Familiarity with electronics equipment and tools (Power Supplies, Multimeters, Oscilloscopes, Signal Generators, etc.).
