About this role
Role Overview
- Developing robust firmware and software architecture for flight computers, payloads, and communication systems.
- Flashing firmware, debugging hardware/software interfaces (SPI, I2C, CAN bus), and testing systems on the bench.
- Writing automated tests, utilizing Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) / Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulations to validate flight readiness.
- Analyzing real-time flight telemetry data, troubleshooting bugs in the field, and optimizing post-flight software performance.
Requirements
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering (with a strong software focus), Electronic Engineering, Robotics, or a related STEM field.
- Proficient in C/C++ and Python for embedded environments and scripting.
- Hands-on experience working with microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, ESP32, ARM Cortex) and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) or bare-metal programming.
- Comfort using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and multimeter tools to debug low-level hardware-software communication interfaces.
- A proactive problem-solver who enjoys iterating quickly and seeing code interface with the physical world.
