Senior Flight Software Engineer



We’re seeking a Senior Flight Software Engineer to build and evolve embedded software that enables advanced on-orbit sensing and autonomous spacecraft behavior. This role focuses on delivering robust flight software that supports payload operations, on-board data handling, and independent decision-making in space environments.


You’ll play a key role in shaping software architecture, supporting mission execution, and ensuring flight readiness across development, test, and operational phases.


What You’ll Do

Develop and support flight software running on spacecraft hardware
Implement onboard autonomy features, including decision-making and fault response
Collaborate across systems, hardware, and operations teams to support mission execution
Verify and validate software using simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments
Contribute to flight software and autonomy architecture within mission and system constraints
Support mission readiness and post-launch activities, including commissioning and anomaly resolution


Required Background

Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
5+ years of experience developing software for spacecraft or safety-critical embedded systems
Strong C++ skills and experience with real-time operating systems
Background in spacecraft operations, control systems, or autonomous behavior
Experience applying structured verification and validation practices
Eligible to obtain a U.S. security clearance


Nice to Have

Experience across the full spacecraft lifecycle, including on-orbit operations
Familiarity with fault-tolerant software architectures
Exposure to autonomy algorithms such as estimation, planning, or AI-driven decision-making
Experience with Python or similar languages for analysis or tooling
Familiarity with spacecraft communications interfaces
