Aetherflux is solving the global energy crisis by building the infrastructure for abundant, resilient, and continuous space-based solar energy. We are tackling humanity's most complex engineering challenge with a world-class team dedicated to delivering a revolutionary power platform. Aetherflux is transforming how civilization powers, computes, and connects-from orbit to Earth.
Distributed Systems Software Engineering Lead
The Distributed Systems Software Engineering Lead at Aetherflux will lead a software team in developing and maintaining real-time constellation management and compute tasking architecture. This role is responsible for the overall quality, reliability, and fault tolerance of the ground systems software infrastructure across satellite control, power beaming operations, compute cloud management, and ground receiver systems. You will grow and manage and mentor a team of software engineers to establish development standards, conduct architecture and code reviews, and ensure robust software practices that support Aetherflux's space-based power transmission and orbital compute platforms.
Responsibilities
- Team Lead: Lead ground software team developing mission-critical constellation and compute management software stack through mentorship, performance management, and career development.
- Project Management: Plan and coordinate code releases, including task breakdowns, sprint management, timeline tracking, and communication to program stakeholders.
- Architecture: Design and lead distributed systems for fault-tolerant and high-performance operations for mission-critical operations.
- Cloud and Orbita Cloud Infrastructure: Lead, design, and development of real-time scheduling systems, data pipelines, collision avoidance systems, and high-performance compute services.
- Testing & Simulation: Work with hardware and test teams to build software-in-the-loop (SITL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) environments for software validation of on orbit maneuvers and constellation health.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 2+ years of experience as a software development lead
- 5+ years of experience as an distributed systems software engineer, particularly for aerospace or satellite applications.
