Flight Software Engineer

Position Summary: We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative software engineer to develop and test spacecraft flight software. We're looking for candidates who can bring exceptional programming skills and experience in embedded software development and testing to the team. Position Responsibilities: The Software Engineer's primary responsibility will be contributing to the development and testing of our satellite flight software. This engineer will be involved in the full lifecycle of flight software development, from requirements definition through operations. However, because we are a small team where each person takes on many roles, this engineer will also contribute to mission concept development, in-house modeling and simulation capabilities, and proposal writing. Being at the cutting edge of space technology, we need someone who is eager to learn, grow, and take on new and potentially unfamiliar challenges. There is no shortage of fascinating problems to solve. The Software Engineer will provide autonomous support of complex assignments, under the leadership of the Software Team Lead and Software Engineering Manager. The Software Engineer will have project and subject matter responsibility and authority. Flight Software 45% Upgrade existing flight software for new missions. Contribute to the development of new satellite flight software for our satellite platforms. Develop in-house tools to analyze flight software performance and assess its compatibility with new mission and conops. Develop and execute flight software verification and validation tests at the unit, module, subsystem, and platform level. Work with manufacturing engineers to support installation onto the hardware-in-the-loop test environments and eventual flight hardware. Participate in anomaly resolution activities and patch existing flight software. Develop, integrate, and test flight software applications using spacecraft flight software frameworks such as NASA's Core Flight System (cFS).
