  • Support Commissioning and Operations: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to commission spacecraft during launch and early operations, ensuring ground systems remain functional during critical operations.
  • Owning Ground Software Solutions: Own ground software solutions through the full lifecycle from initial design to deployment.
  • Collaboration and Integration: Work closely with internal teams and external customers to baseline product requirements and technical roadmaps.
Requirements
  • U.S. Person Status: Required for access to export-controlled data.
  • Experience: 3+ years of total ground software experience.
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in CS, EE or equivalent.
  • Programming Skills: Strong proficiency in Python, C++, and Rust.

  • Operating Systems: Knowledge of Linux operating systems and system administration.
  • Distributed Systems: Experience with software integration, testing, and validation for real-time and distributed systems.
Benefits
