Full Time Location:
Redondo Beach Compensation:
$125,000 - $175,000 / year
Description
As a
Ground Segment Software Engineer at Impulse , you will create and implement intuitive, high-performance user interfaces, utilizing time-series databases for real-time testing and interfacing with space vehicles. You will design software systems and architect the ground station network, enabling operators to conduct missions reliably and efficiently. Your work will support a wide range of activities, from near-Earth payload deliveries to Mars surface landers.
Responsibilities
Develop automated systems for satellite operations and ground system monitoring. Design, build, test, and deploy large-scale ground software and mission control systems, including GUIs and automation tools. Create software tools for operational automation to minimize daily operator tasks. Support ground segment design and operations, including command & control, mission planning, data processing, and related infrastructure. Implement real-time systems for telemetry acquisition, processing, and visualization. Integrate and test ground software with satellites, ground stations, and network infrastructure. Collaborate with RF, Flight Software, and Space Ops teams to support ground segment hardware testing.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Math, Physics, Engineering, or related degrees. 2+ years of experience in spacecraft, ground station, or communication system operations. 2+ years of Python programming experience, including back-end, front-end, database management scripting, automation, and data analysis. Familiarity with containerization and service orchestration systems. Experience with networking protocols (UDP, TCP, etc.). Demonstrated experience working with relational databases.
Preferred Skills and Experience
Experience using Grafana and setting up Grafana dashboards. Familiarity with modern cloud providers, preferably AWS. Extensive knowledge of satellite communication protocols, including CCSDS. Experience with ground station hardware and a solid understanding of RF communication principles. Proficiency with standard RF coding schemes, such as DVB-S2. Hands-on experience with ground station operations and engineering for LEO and/or GEO orbit missions. Familiarity with software-defined radio frameworks like GNU Radio or equivalent tools.
