Senior Embedded Software Engineer

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer on the Platform team, you will develop and maintain embedded firmware for satellite systems. You will work across engineering groups to shape architecture and system design, addressing on-orbit and on-ground issues. You’ll optimize serial protocols and create interface tools to better connect embedded components with satellite hardware. In this fast-paced, mission-driven environment, you help accelerate the design-to-launch cycle and support current and future spacecraft capabilities. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, scalable software that enables reliable space operations.
