About Cowboy Space Corp: Mission Cowboy Space Corporation is solving the global energy crisis by building the infrastructure for abundant, resilient space-based solar energy. We are tackling one of humanity’s most…
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 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.
Cowboy Space is hiring a Firmware Engineer in San Carlos, CA to own embedded firmware for spacecraft subsystems end to end — writing C/C++ for microcontrollers and FPGAs, building low-level drivers and real-time control systems, and supporting board bring-up and hardware-in-the-loop testing for its space-based solar power platform.
Lead a small team of embedded engineers building safety-critical firmware in C/C++ and Rust that controls actuators and processes high-speed signals for uranium enrichment industrial systems.
Develop safety-critical embedded software in C/C++/Rust to control industrial systems for uranium enrichment, ensuring reliability and precision in mission-critical hardware.
Systems Design Engineer at AMD in Santa Clara supporting SOC programs across bring-up, validation, and production — debugging hardware/software issues, building tools and scripts, and coordinating test execution with cross-functional teams. Core tech: C/C++, Python, Perl/Ruby, lab equipment, and board/platform-level debug.
Develops and maintains software for robotic systems, motion-control, and hardware-integrated applications in a fast-paced aerospace environment, using C++/Python and ROS frameworks.
Design and implement secure-by-default hardware and firmware components for IoT devices, conduct threat modeling, and drive security requirements across Motive’s fleet and logistics platforms.
Develop and optimize high-performance, low-level infrastructure (C/C++) for AI processors, working with Linux systems and debugging tools in a hybrid Toronto role.
Field Application Engineer who collaborates with sales and enterprise customers to drive adoption of AI/ML hardware-software solutions, bridging technical expertise with customer-facing communication.
Firmware Engineer focused on low-level C/C++ development, board bring-up, and boot/power/reset sequences for microcontrollers and SoCs, collaborating with hardware and system software teams on AI platform hardware.
Senior flight software engineer who owns payload flight software for Cowboy Space's satellites — writing Rust for attitude/pointing state machines, command handling, and telemetry/data storage, setting the team's architecture, building HIL/simulation test infrastructure, and driving toward a near-term on-orbit demonstration. On-site in San Carlos, CA or Kent, WA.
Test Engineer at 1x will build and own the test infrastructure validating the robotic hands of the NEO humanoid robot — designing fixtures, instrumentation, electrical interfaces, and test software, then running hands-on tests, analyzing telemetry, and troubleshooting failures. Core focus: electromechanical test systems, data acquisition, and test automation.
Builds and tests the software behind Cowboy Space's spacecraft and ground infrastructure: flight software with real-time hardware control, simulation and hardware-in-the-loop test frameworks, and mission operations tooling. Core stack spans C++, Python, and Rust on Linux in a fast-paced aerospace startup.
Develops and maintains firmware for satellite hardware, including board bring-up, FPGA logic, and autonomous recovery systems to ensure reliable operation in orbit.
