Embedded Software Engineer

Overview

Develop reliable embedded software for radar, communication, and flight control systems on satellites.

Key Responsibilities

• system software
• fdir algorithms
• radar software
• data transfer
• board bring-up
• system debug

Tasks

The position requires working closely with radar, communications, electronics, and aerospace engineering teams. You will help shape the design of the world’s first formation-flying radar imaging constellation, which will deliver a quantum-leap in humanity's ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our ever-changing world, moving rapidly from clean-sheet designs to full operational deployment in space. We will conduct three interviews via Zoom; the typical process takes around 2-4 weeks to complete from start to finish. -Develop safety-critical system-level software for hardware components and develop FDIR (fault detection, isolation, and recovery) algorithms for mission-critical systems -Develop highly reliable and available software systems for our low-latency, high-capacity radar sensor, communication system, and flight control system -Implement high-efficiency data movement between our radar sensor, FPGA fabric, microprocessors, networking interfaces, and storage peripherals -Board bring-up of a Linux-based platform that integrates radar sensors, flight computers, RF transceivers, and navigation sensors -Debug complex, system-level, multi-component issues that typically span across multiple layers from kernel to driver to application -Work collaboratively with signal processing, hardware, and GNC engineers to build performant and reliable embedded software for our payload

Requirements

• c/c++
• python
• freertos
• arm
• master’s
• 4+ years
