About Rocket Lab

Rocket Lab is a global leader in launch and space systems, enabling ambitious space missions globally. Our Electron rocket has provided reliable access to orbit since 2018, becoming one of the most frequently launched rockets in the world.

As a Senior Flight Software Engineer II, you will play a key role in supporting the development of flight software for our Space Systems programs. You'll participate in all aspects of software design and development, from requirements definition through coding and testing.

Our team is responsible for every satellite and satellite component made by Rocket Lab, from complete satellites to individual components and subsystems. You'll collaborate with hardware-in-the-loop test engineers to verify and validate combined software and hardware functionality.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop application software to run within a Real Time Operating System (RTOS) and/or embedded Linux
  • Develop hardware drivers to interface to Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), Star Trackers, Reaction Wheels and other spacecraft sensors and actuators
  • Develop and maintain comprehensive unit tests to run within a Continuous Integration framework
  • Collaborate with systems engineers and embedded systems engineers in developing, documenting and validating requirements
  • Participate in review of source code changes and ensure all changes meet company coding standards
  • Participate in design reviews such as a PDR and CDR
  • Assist with on-orbit (and interplanetary) flight operations

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, or equivalent technical degree
  • 8+ years of demonstrated applicable experience in embedded software development
  • Proficiency in C and C++ languages
  • Experience with Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) or with Embedded Linux

What to Expect:

We're on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth. Our team is driven, innovative, and committed to achieving the impossible. We pride ourselves on having each other's backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small.

We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and our focus is always on how we can deliver, rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.
