Full Job Description

Senior Embedded Engineer – Space Systems

Position: Senior Embedded Engineer

Type of Hire: Full-Time

Location: Seattle, WA

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Embedded Engineer to architect and implement software for satellite systems. This is a hands-on role working closely with hardware, RF, and operations teams to develop high-reliability embedded software that powers a satellite constellation.

You will act as a technical leader on the engineering team, translating system-level requirements into robust, efficient embedded solutions designed for the harsh space environment. This position spans the full embedded stack: from low-level device drivers to application-level software managing satellite operations, including contributing to next-generation satellite platform architecture.

Key Responsibilities

Python & C Development: Write high-quality, maintainable code in both Python and C for satellite command scripts and performance-critical embedded applications.
Embedded Linux Systems: Design, implement, and maintain embedded Linux systems for satellite payloads, including kernel configuration, driver development, and system optimization for resource-constrained space hardware.
Low-Level Driver Development: Develop and debug device drivers for common interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet) and peripherals including ADCs, DACs, DDR memory controllers, and custom hardware.
Flight Software Architecture: Contribute to the design and implementation of satellite flight software, including command & data handling, telemetry systems, and autonomous operations.
Hardware Bring-Up: Lead board bring-up activities for new hardware, working closely with electrical engineers to validate designs, debug interfaces, and commission new systems.
Space Environment Considerations: Design software with awareness of space-specific challenges including radiation effects (SEUs, latch-up), thermal constraints, and power budgets.

An Ideal Candidate Has

A Sense of Urgency: Lead projects from concept to reality, rapidly and effectively.
High Learning Agility: Love to learn; grounded approach to recognizing weaknesses and taking initiative to sharpen engineering foundations.
System-Level Design and Analysis: Understand the requirements flow-down process and quickly iterate on evolving requirements.
Excellent Communication Skills: Effectively convey ideas and communicate technical topics with engineering, build staff, and operations; run self-directed design reviews.
Anticipation of Needs: Identify problems, think creatively, and rapidly produce reliable and cost-effective solutions for an early-stage company environment.

Qualifications

5+ years of proven experience delivering embedded systems for production hardware, preferably in Aerospace, Defense, or other high-reliability domains
Expert-level C programming: deep understanding of memory management, real-time constraints, and optimization techniques for embedded systems
Expert-level Python for scripting, automation, test frameworks, and ground system integration
Solid embedded Linux proficiency: kernel configuration, device drivers, Buildroot/Yocto or similar
Hardware interface experience with SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, ADCs, DACs, and memory interfaces (DDR)
Comfortable using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers to troubleshoot hardware and software issues
Space systems experience (optional): radiation hardening techniques, thermal management, and single-event effects
FPGA integration experience (optional): AXI/PCIe interfaces, register-mapped peripheral access from embedded Linux or bare-metal, collaborative bring-up with digital design engineers
U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent resident status required (ITAR)

Benefits

Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and HSA options
Unlimited PTO
Commuter benefits (HQ-based employees)
Learning & Development Allowance
Health & Wellness Stipend
Sabbatical Program
Work on cutting-edge satellite technology systems

ITAR Requirements

This position is subject to U.S. Government export control regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). All applicants must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (“green card holder”) as defined by ITAR (22 CFR §120.15).

Pay: $180,000.00 - $249,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
