Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and implement simulation software for testing and verifying TeraWave's flight software.
  • Collaborate with test team leads to develop a simulation environment that can be deployed on multiple platforms to support software-only test, HWIL test, real-time environment tests, and spacecraft AI&TC.
  • Collaborate with hardware, systems, and autonomy engineers to understand software requirements, interfaces, and behavioral boundaries across subsystems.
  • Develop and integrate simulation environments and models to test FSW across a range of nominal and off-nominal operational scenarios.
  • Participate in software integration, verification, and validation testing including software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related technical field.
  • 3-5+ years of experience in spacecraft software, simulation software, or embedded software development.
  • Proven experience with C++ software development for flight or embedded systems.
  • Strong programming skills in C, C++, and Python.
  • Understanding of Object-Oriented problem solving and software layering to facilitate modularity and reuse.
  • Some knowledge of inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms including sockets, shared memory, message queues, or publish-subscribe middleware.
  • Experience with software lifecycle, configuration management (Git), CI/CD, and containerized environments.
  • Experience with verification/validation practices for mission-critical embedded software systems.

Qualifications

  • U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Skills

  • Experience with spacecraft command and data handling (C&DH).
  • Telecommand and telemetry processing.
  • Hardware I/O interfaces.
  • Physics of spacecraft systems.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance.
  • Paid parental leave.
  • Short and long-term disability.
  • 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%.
  • Education Support Program.
