Here at the company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run. We want you as a talented Flight Software Engineer to help us in our mission by developing and testing critical software responsible for the operation of our lunar lander projects. You will be part of the Future Projects team, reporting to the Principal Engineer of the project and working closely with the other engineering disciplines.
