About the Role My client is seeking a Flight Software Engineer to design, build, and deploy embedded software for a fleet of low-Earth orbit spacecraft.

You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure flight software is reliable, autonomous, and mission-ready.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop fault-tolerant, autonomous flight software systems for spacecraft operations
  • Build infrastructure for simulation, testing, and large-scale deployment
  • Implement software for command/data handling, guidance/navigation/control (GNC), and fault detection/isolation

  • Experience developing flight software for spacecraft or other high-reliability systems
  • Embedded Linux and ARM microcontroller development
  • Strong debugging, unit testing, and system integration skills
  • Familiarity with fault-tolerant design patterns (e.g., watchdogs, voting logic, ECC)
  • Understanding of networking protocols and embedded communication
  • Exposure to industry standards like MISRA-C or JSF
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments

Who Should Apply We prioritize exceptional talent over traditional credentials. If you’ve built something extraordinary, solved hard problems, or taken an unconventional path to mastery, we want to hear from you. My client is open to crafting unique roles for standout individuals.

Benefits

  • 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision (base plans)
  • HSA, FSA, 401(k), and commuter benefits
