Embedded Software Designer – Networks

We're on the hunt for a top-tier Embedded Software Engineer. Your focus will be on software development and maintenance required for both space and ground-based assets for a growing fleet of spacecraft. The focus of your work will be on designing and developing the next-generation networking stack and protocols that ours satellites will run on!

Responsibilities

• Design and develop reliable, high-quality software related to on-board software for our next generation of satellites.
• Embedded Linux for both space and ground systems.
• Implement and optimize routing protocols using FRR in embedded environments.
• Develop build/test infrastructure, simulators, and diagnostic tools to validate designs in CI/CD environments.
• Design and extend control-plane and data-plane solutions for satellite and ground networking.
• Write efficient, reliable C/C++, Python, and Bash code for networking and automation applications.
• Participate in software design review and code review processes.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 5+ years of embedded software and networking development experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent.
• Proficiency in C/C++, especially in embedded topics such as interrupt handlers, concurrency, memory-mapped peripherals, and hardware interfaces.
• Experience with embedded operating systems and build systems, including OpenEmbedded/Yocto and FreeRTOS.
• Strong embedded Linux networking knowledge.
• Demonstrable experience with FRR (Free Range Routing) and networking protocols (BGP, OSPF, MPLS, ISIS).
• Excellent communication skills for engaging with both engineering teams and external stakeholders.
• Ability to work under pressure, asynchronously, and across time zones.

Bonus Points

• Master's degree.
• Experience developing software for aerospace applications.
• Strong knowledge of computer networking and modern networking protocols.
• Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and orchestration tools.
