[job_card.job_description]We're developing the first reusable satellite platform with controlled return capability, fundamentally transforming space from a one-way journey to a two-way trade route Real Impact : Your work will enable new industries in space manufacturing, research, and logistics while pioneering sustainable space infrastructure Speed & Autonomy : We maintain parallel hardware development streams and empower engineers to innovate rapidly while upholding rigorous aerospace standards World-Class Team : Work alongside experts from leading aerospace companies and research institutions, building technology that will reshape humanity's access to space The Role You'll own the ground software architecture for spacecraft mission control and operations. Design and build mission control systems (command, telemetry, automation) Develop systems for command routing, telemetry acquisition, data processing, and visualization Create operational automation tools that streamline daily mission operations tasks Architect ground station network infrastructure Build integrated test and simulation systems with flight software Implement time-series databases and data processing pipelines Design intuitive operator interfaces and dashboards Support satellite operations, commissioning, and on-orbit troubleshooting Collaborate with flight software, GNC, RF, and mission operations teams Required Qualifications B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related technical field 5+ years developing software for spacecraft operations, mission control, or ground systems Experience with mission / satellite operations (SatOps) platforms and workflows Strong proficiency in Python, C++, or Go for backend systems development Solid understanding of networking protocols (TCP / IP, UDP) Proficiency with relational and / or time-series databases (PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, Prometheus, etc.) Experience integrating with ground station service providers (KSAT, Atlas, or similar) Proficiency with version control (Git), CI / CD pipelines, and automated testing Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS or equivalent) Desired Experience M.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field Experience processing and visualizing spacecraft telemetry streams Deep experience with spacecraft communication protocols (CCSDS) Background with monitoring and visualization tools (Grafana, Prometheus) Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) Familiarity with RF communications and ground station hardware Contributions to open-source aerospace or robotics projects Location & Work We are based in Denver, CO and believe in the power of in-person collaboration. We are onsite 5 days / week by default, but flexible when life requires it. Space is the bleeding edge for humanity's next industrial revolution. While reusable rockets have opened the door, true economic transformation requires infrastructure that makes orbit as accessible and reliable as air travel. At Lux Aeterna, we're building that future by developing the first reusable satellite platform with controlled return capability - transforming space from a one-way street into a two-way highway for innovation and commerce. Certain roles may involve access to export-controlled technical data. To comply with U.S. export-control laws, access may be limited to individuals who qualify as a “U.S. person” under 22 C.F.R. §120.62 or who otherwise may lawfully receive such access.
