Senior Embedded Flight Software Engineer
Location: Broomfield, CO
Type: Full-time, Hybrid (3+ days onsite per week)

We're looking for a Senior Embedded Flight Software Engineer to help build the next generation of spacecraft. In this role, you'll own embedded software development end-to-end-bringing up hardware, writing C/C++ firmware, implementing fault management, and supporting in-orbit updates.

You'll work across avionics, GNC, propulsion, and other engineering teams to ensure spacecraft systems perform reliably in orbit. This role is a great fit if you thrive at the hardware/software boundary and want to make an impact on real flight missions.

What You'll Do

  • Develop and debug embedded software on ARM-based microcontrollers
  • Implement telemetry, command handling, bootloaders, and update mechanisms
  • Support real-time control for actuators, sensors, and power systems
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate and test flight-critical systems
What We're Looking For
  • Strong background in embedded development (C/C++, RTOS, hardware bring-up)
  • Experience with system integration and debugging tools (JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes)
  • Proven ability to design reliable, fault-tolerant systems
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, automated testing, and software lifecycle best practices
Compensation & Benefits
  • $150,000 - $180,000 annual salary (DOE)
  • Equity incentives, medical/dental/vision, 401(k)
  • Unlimited PTO and additional company-provided benefits

We look forward to reviewing your application. We encourage everyone to apply - even if every box isn't checked for what you are looking for or what is required.
