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.
