Design, build, and operate test systems and HITL testbeds to stress-test and qualify spacecraft avionics hardware for Varda's Winnebago-class spacecraft, writing Python test software to execute procedures, analyze data, and generate reports. On-site role in El Segundo, CA.
Designs, builds, and operates test systems that stress-test and qualify spacecraft avionics hardware for Varda's Winnebago-class capsules, including environmental, acceptance, and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing. Day-to-day work centers on Python test software, Git, and electronics test equipment, on-site in El Segundo, CA.
About Varda Low Earth orbit is open for business. Varda is accelerating the development of commercial space infrastructure, from in-orbit pharmaceutical processing to reliable and economical reentry capsules. Varda’s…
Designs, manufactures, and tests avionics hardware — flight computers, power systems, RF, and sensor boards — for Varda's spacecraft, owning mixed-signal PCB designs through the full lifecycle from requirements and schematic capture to environmental qualification (thermal, vibe, shock, TVAC, EMI). On-site in El Segundo, CA.
Hands-on technical owner of the propulsion subsystem and flight hardware across Varda's satellite buses, covering architecture, analysis, mechanical design, testing, and ground/in-orbit operations. Core tools include CAD (CATIA/SolidWorks/NX), FEA (ANSYS/NASTRAN), P&IDs, and Python automation.
Senior embedded software engineer on Varda's Flight Software team in El Segundo, CA, writing reliable C++ firmware (bare metal, RTOS, or Linux) that controls how the spacecraft, satellite bus, and reentry capsule operate in orbit, owning the full lifecycle from requirements capture through testing and flight operations support.
Develops reliable C++ flight software (bare metal, RTOS, or Linux) that governs how Varda's spacecraft, satellite buses, and reentry capsules operate in orbit — owning the full cycle from requirements capture through testing, V&V, and flight operational support. On-site in El Segundo, CA; needs 5+ years of spacecraft or safety-critical software experience.
Builds and operates Varda's ground segment software for spacecraft missions: telemetry ingestion and commanding services, mission-control UIs, simulation/test automation, and a self-service CI/CD mission platform deployed across lab, test range, and mission environments. Core stack is Python (plus C++, Docker/Kubernetes, IaC, observability).
Designs, builds, and owns bespoke ground support equipment and test infrastructure (propulsion test stands, TVAC chambers, DAQ systems, PLC cabinets) that qualifies Varda's spaceflight hardware for orbit. Core stack: SolidWorks/NX CAD, Altium/EPLAN electrical design, and Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 PLCs with in-house EtherCAT tooling, on-site in El Segundo, CA.
Designs, builds, and end-to-end owns ground support equipment and test systems — propulsion test stands, TVAC/thermal chambers, DAQ rigs, and PLC control cabinets — that qualify Varda's spacecraft hardware for flight. Core stack: SolidWorks/NX CAD, Altium/EPLAN schematics, high-pressure gas/fluid systems, and Beckhoff TwinCAT/EtherCAT automation.
