Embedded Software Engineer

Description

We’re seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to help drive the core functionality of our satellite systems. In this role, you’ll contribute directly to mission-critical software that supports everything from real-time fault detection to on-orbit system updates. You'll work hands-on with our custom Linux OS, integrate tightly with programmable logic, and play a key role in shaping our CI/CD infrastructure for flight software deployment.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and maintain a custom Linux-based OS for spaceflight and development systems using PetaLinux and Yocto
• Integrate software with programmable logic (PL), including configuration and health monitoring interfaces
• Design and test infrastructure for secure, failsafe in-orbit image updates for both PS (Processing System) and PL
• Contribute to the automation of CI/CD pipelines to improve software reliability and deployment efficiency
• Debug and optimize low-level firmware and embedded system behavior
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless hardware-software interaction across satellite systems
  
  

You Might Be a Fit If You

• Maintain and enhance a custom Linux OS for both flight and development using PetaLinux and Yocto
