Job description

As an Embedded Software Engineer your core responsibility will be to write code that runs on custom avionics hardware for executing flight and ground test functions. You will work with avionics hardware engineers, GNC engineers, propulsion engineers, and others to develop performant and maintainable solutions. You will have the opportunity to contribute to many aspects of spacecraft development, including architecting new systems, doing quick prototypes, doing rigorous flight projects, and controlling flight hardware during ground tests.

Responsibilities

Implement and improve low-level processor functions such as controls of peripherals, and setup of communication interfaces
Implement and improve functions such as closed loop control of physical processes, and detection/response algorithms for failures such as broken sensors or radiation upsets
Provide technical input on new system developments from an embedded software perspective
Write scrappy code to support development testing of avionics, fluids, and propulsion devices
Write rigorous, reviewed, and tested code to support manufacturing and flight

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related degrees
3+ years' writing C/C++ code for an embedded system or vehicle of some kind (robot, car, drone, spacecraft, etc)
Experience using spectrum-analyzers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, hardware debuggers, and source-level debuggers to troubleshoot problems at all layers of the stack
Knowledge of and experience with communication protocols including I2C, CAN, SPI, and UART
Good fundamentals in signal processing, classical control theory, and excellent problem-solving skills
Experience working collaboratively across teams in a mixed software/hardware environment

Preferred Skills and Experience

Experience working with Software Defined Radios (SDR)
Experience with digital filter design such as FIR, IIR, and adaptive filters
Experience developing RF signal modulation and demodulation algorithms such as QPSK, BPSK, and GFSK
Familiarity with RF concepts such as SNR, OIP3, IIP3, Phase Noise, Nyquist, etc
Experience with using RF Test equipment for RF validation and debugging
Strong understanding of embedded software principles and ability to contribute to design reviews
