San Francisco, United States Loft Orbital Full time

**Embedded Software Engineer - Driver/Kernel/Linux**

San Francisco / Engineering / Full time *About Loft Orbital*

Loft Orbital was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California with offices in Boulder, Colorado and Toulouse, France. Our mission is to make space simple for our customers: we operate microsatellites and fly customer payloads onboard, as a service. Our standard interface and software products reduce the complexity and shorten the lead time our customers typically face in deploying assets in orbit. Our unique business model is redefining how businesses and governments access space and use it to collect information and intelligence about the world.

We have grown our customer base quickly and have our first two first satellite missions launching in 2021. Soon after, we will reach a cadence of quarterly launches. Following our recent $13M Series A funding round, we set up a European office in Toulouse in order to develop key technologies such as a digital platform for better designing, integrating, and operating satellites in orbit.

*Role*

As a member of the Payload Data Processing Unit (PDPU) team, you will be helping build technology that empowers our customers to process payload data onboard Lofts satellite missions. With this edge computing in space capability, Lofts customers can react in real time to the data collected by their payload. Since high flexibility and versatility play an important role, the PDPU is software-centric and supports on-ground and in-space re-programmability. Loft Orbital will be utilizing the latest technology available for the PDPU, which includes a mix of existing and next-generation component and processor technology. **General Requirements**
