Imagine working in a field where every line of code you write has the potential to impact space exploration. As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you wouldn’t just be creating software—you’d be developing the brain and nervous system of the hardware that’s sent to orbit on the latest satellites. In a world where technology and innovation are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, your work would be at the forefront, helping to shape the future of space products.


This is not just another engineering job; this is your chance to be part of something extraordinary. You’ll bring your technical expertise to tackle some of the most challenging software problems in the industry, providing innovative solutions that push the limits of what embedded software can achieve. You’ll design, develop, and test embedded software that’s integral to the success of space missions, using your skills in C, Python, and a variety of other languages and tools to create robust, reliable systems.


In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to work directly with the decision-makers, in a small engineering environment that values agility and innovation. There’s no red tape—just a clear path to making an impact. You’ll collaborate with a talented team of engineers from various disciplines, leading the architectural design of complex products that require cross-functional expertise. Your input won’t just be heard; it will shape the products that define the company’s future in the space industry.


Your days will be filled with exciting challenges, whether you’re developing bootloaders, working with BSP, or designing device drivers for VxWorks, Embedded Linux, or RTEMS. You’ll debug and test component and board designs, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of performance. Your work won’t stop at design—you’ll also develop test programs and verification plans, ensuring that every aspect of the software is flawless before it’s released.


But it’s not just about solving problems; it’s about innovating. You’ll anticipate challenges before they arise, developing alternate methods and contingency plans to keep projects on track. Your ability to think critically and creatively will be key as you drive continuous improvement within the team, implementing new processes and techniques that enhance the quality and efficiency of the products.


With over a decade of experience in embedded software, you’re the kind of engineer who thrives on complexity. You understand the intricacies of NAND FLASH memory file systems, have a strong background in low-level hardware code development, and are skilled in using lab equipment for debugging. Your expertise with Buildroot, Yocto Linux, and VxWorks, combined with your ability to work effectively in a team, makes you the perfect fit for this role.


This is more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to leave your mark on the rapidly growing space industry. You’ll be part of a team that’s creating the next generation of satellite technology, with the freedom to innovate and the support to succeed. If you’re ready to take your career to new heights, this is the role for you. Apply now and start building the future of space exploration.
