  • Software Development : Design and implement embedded software systems using Python, C, and C++; develop control algorithms, implement communication protocols, and create test frameworks.
  • Requirements Management : Support requirements definition, verification planning, and technical documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Project Support : Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, manage vendor relationships, and provide technical and hands-on support for manufacturing and assembly processes.
  • Qualifications

  • Education : Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field.
  • Experience : 3+ years of professional experience in electromechanical, hardware, or embedded system development, preferably in aerospace, robotics, or similar.
  • Technical skills :
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks Preferred)

  • Knowledge of GD&T per ASME Y14.5 and tolerance analysis
  • Experience with Linux, Python, C, and C++
  • Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and software development best practices
  • Experience with embedded systems software development
  • Proficiency with custom PCB design tools and electrical design principles
  • Preferences :
  • Experience with space systems, satellites, or aerospace hardware development

  • Knowledge of environmental testing standards (NASA GEVS)
  • Hands-on experience with laboratory equipment in a clean room environment
  • Familiarity with serial communications and networking protocols
  • Familiarity with API’s and Interfaces
  • Previous start-up work experience
  • Application Requirments

  • Submit a resume
  • High-level overview of 1–3 projects you built or led, one short paragraph each : what it is, your role, and outcome. Links / screenshots welcome.
  • We care more about what you've built than where you've worked. If you think it's cool, show us!
  • To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
