Software Engineer

Job Description

Flight Software Engineer I’m recruiting on behalf of a stealth space systems company building next-generation spacecraft. This is a small, fast-moving team where engineers own real systems and ship software that operates in unforgiving environments. The Role Design and build flight software that runs on orbit Own systems end-to-end, from concept through deployment Work across autonomy, command & data handling, control, and fault management Support live operations and iterative updates What They Care About Proven excellence on a serious software project Strong C/C++ experience (3+ years) Comfort with embedded or low-level systems Ability to debug, test, and operate under real constraints Experience with high-reliability systems, embedded Linux or microcontrollers, networking, and fault-tolerant design is a plus. This is not a slow, bureaucratic environment. Ownership, speed, and judgment matter more than box-ticking. If you like building software that actually flies — and breaks if you get it wrong — this is worth a conversation.
