The Onboard Software Solutions Team is responsible for creating, configuring, and deploying all onboard software components dedicated to a program or mission. We configure and extend agnostic onboard software to fit a given satellite architecture and requirements and are responsible for the development, end-to-end testing, and release of that onboard software.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology, helping build modern automated infrastructure, and bringing software and space together. As well as developing our future systems, the role will also involve working on real-time issues on live missions, helping to solve problems as they occur.
About this Role:
- Streamline the creation, integration, validation, and release of onboard software by improving test coverage, automating testing, and minimizing time from feature development to availability on-orbit.
- Configure standard onboard software components for customers' payloads and support the deployment and troubleshooting internally and externally.
- Own and evolve the tools for onboard software creation, versioning, testing, and release management while providing transparent, up-to-date status tracking for all stakeholders across programs and missions.
- Collaborate closely with the broader Engineering and Satellite Operations teams to ensure the rapid, reliable, and thoroughly tested deployment of onboard software for customers.
Must Haves:
- Experience in Python and C++.
- Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (gitlab-ci, teamcity, travis-ci).
- Automated testing frameworks.
- Experience in data serialization/deserialization (yaml, json, cue).
- Previous experience as Flight Software Engineer, Software Integration Engineer, Software Test Engineer, or Software Engineer with a focus on Automated Testing.
- Ability to troubleshoot and effectively communicate issues and solutions.
Nice to Haves:
- Experience in Embedded Linux Operation.
