• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver high-reliability software for mission-critical systems.
• Support software verification and validation activities in compliance with rigorous development standards and coverage analysis methodologies.
• Utilize development and collaboration tools such as JIRA, Confluence, and requirements management systems to track progress and ensure quality delivery.
• Participate in Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, or Spiral development processes depending on project needs and system requirements.
• Assist with debugging, troubleshooting, performance optimization, and integration of embedded systems and communication interfaces.
• Contribute to documentation, code reviews, static analysis, and automated build processes to ensure maintainable and scalable software solutions.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in embedded software development or engineering.
• Strong programming expertise in C, C++, and Assembly language development.
• Hands-on experience with real-time operating systems such as VxWorks and Linux.
• Familiarity with software development in highly regulated industries including aerospace, defense, aviation, military, or medical technology.
• Understanding of rigorous software development and verification standards such as DO-178 and MC/DC coverage analysis.
• Experience working with software development tools including JIRA, Confluence, and related engineering platforms.
• Knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies as well as traditional software development lifecycles.
• Familiarity with command and telemetry systems, CCSDS communication standards, or NASA CFS frameworks is considered a strong advantage.
• Exposure to scripting and additional programming languages such as Python, Bash, Java, C#, HTML, or XML is beneficial.
• Strong analytical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
• Must meet U.S. government export control eligibility requirements, including U.S. citizenship, lawful permanent residency, or eligibility for required authorizations.

Benefits:

• Opportunity to work on groundbreaking commercial space and aerospace programs
• Remote-friendly and collaborative engineering environment
• Exposure to cutting-edge embedded systems and aerospace technologies
• Career growth opportunities within a rapidly evolving high-tech industry
• Collaborative culture focused on innovation, engineering excellence, and technical leadership
• Work alongside highly skilled multidisciplinary engineering teams
