- Implements calibration routines, self-tests, fault detection, and data packetization for host integration.
- Builds factory programming/calibration flow and regression tests for releases.
- Key outputs: firmware releases, calibration routines, factory flow, logs/diagnostics tooling.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent hands-on experience
- 2+ years of embedded software development, preferably in aerospace, robotics, or other high-reliability domains
- Hands-on integration experience with:
- GNSS timing modules
- Inertial sensors, real-time clocks, environmental sensors
- High-speed interfaces: USB, UART, CAN, CameraLink
- Solid understanding of power management, current sensing, and hardware fault protection
- Familiarity with Cyphal and YAMCS or comparable ground-control frameworks
- A “hacker” mentality: rapid prototyping, creative problem-solving, and a willingness to dive into schematics or PCB layouts when needed
- Fluency in English
Nice to Have
- C/C++ skills for bare-metal and RTOS environments
- Proven Linux application development on ARM platforms, including cross-toolchains and kernel extensions
What We Offer
- A chance to shape how climate and space technology is communicated globally
- Direct exposure to founders, investors, and international customers
- Flexible working hours and hybrid setup
- A mission-driven, curious, and slightly space-obsessed team
- Employee VSOP program, and other benefits
