They’re hiring an
Embedded Software Engineer
to help bring their reentry vehicles and space-based platforms to life. In this role, you’ll develop deeply reliable flight software that controls how the spacecraft behaves—from orbit to reentry. You’ll work across the full development lifecycle: capturing requirements, architecting real-time systems, writing C++ for bare metal, RTOS, or Linux environments, and validating mission-critical code for safety and performance. If you're passionate about building software that actually leaves the planet—and you thrive in low-ego, high-ownership environments—this is a rare opportunity to join the team in it's early mission Full time, Onsite in El Segundo.
Core Requirements
Proficiency in C++ and experience with real-time or embedded systems Minimum 3 years of hands-on software development experience Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience Strong collaboration, communication, and problem-solving abilities Comfortable writing structured, hardware-near software (bare metal, RTOS, or Linux) Able to define software architecture and own systems from design to flight
Preferred Experience
Developing or testing flight software or safety-critical aerospace systems Familiarity with V&V techniques and real-time operating constraints Deep understanding of computer architecture, networks, and OS fundamentals A solid base in math and physics Passion for space, autonomy, and pushing the frontier of what software can do
