Software Engineer, Test & Automation
Own and build hardware-in-the-loop test infrastructure for satellites, automating test orchestration with Python/C/C++ against real or emulated spacecraft hardware in a lab environment.
Software Engineer
Builds software that controls and scales spacecraft and ground infrastructure — flight software interfacing with hardware, simulation/testing frameworks, mission control, and internal tooling. Works across the stack with hardware teams, using languages like C++, Python, or Rust at a space-based solar energy startup.
Senior Software Engineer
Senior software engineer building high-reliability flight, mission, and ground software (C&DH, FDIR, secure comms) plus simulation and hardware-in-the-loop tools for a space-based solar power and orbital compute platform. Core stack is systems-level C++, Rust, and Python, working on-site in San Carlos, CA.
Test Engineer
The Test Engineer will design, build, and operate fluid, mechanical, and control systems for testing space infrastructure components and engines. The role involves hands-on hardware integration, test procedure development, and data analysis using tools like Python.
