Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Design reliable embedded software with C/C++ for Kepler Communications’ spacecraft and ground systems. This six-month-plus contract supports a growing satellite fleet.

Kepler Communications operates a commercial optical data relay constellation of more than 33 satellites. As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will develop and maintain software for high-reliability systems. The work spans embedded Linux, real-time operating systems, hardware interfaces, and secure communications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and maintain embedded software for spacecraft and ground systems
• Implement encryption, authentication, and key exchange capabilities
• Build drivers, kernel modules, hardware interfaces, and platform services
• Develop automated tests, validation tools, and technical documentation
• Provide technical leadership through reviews and junior engineer mentorship

Requirements:

• Six-plus years developing embedded software for complex systems
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
• Proficiency in C/C++, concurrency, interrupts, and hardware interfaces
• Experience with embedded Linux, RTOS, Yocto, or FreeRTOS
• Experience with kernel modules, device drivers, and device trees

Apply embedded Linux, C/C++, testing, and secure communications expertise to Kepler’s spacecraft software systems.
