What are the responsibilities and job description for the Flight Software Professional position at Capella Space?
About Capella Space
Capella Space stands at the forefront of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite technology and signal intelligence. Our mission is centered on delivering timely and reliable Earth imagery, supporting diverse applications in defense & intelligence, disaster response, energy, environmental monitoring and more.
We utilize cutting-edge technology to design, manufacture and operate an advanced constellation of SAR imaging satellites. Our market-leading SAR satellites are complemented by an unmatched data infrastructure and automated ordering and delivery platform for fast, reliable insights where and when customers need it most.
We're a highly collaborative team environment, providing an opportunity to work with some of the brightest minds in the space industry. We're looking for people excited about tackling seemingly impossible challenges, learning new skills and concepts, and helping each other achieve success.
About the Role & Team
As a software engineer on the Flight Software team, you will be writing the software that runs our satellite fleet in space. You will interact daily with other software engineers, FPGA developers, electrical engineers, and various other subsystem owners to develop, maintain, and implement new features for the spacecraft software.
You will have a demonstrable track record of working with complex systems, understanding systems architecture, and setting the engineering development plan making complex radar technologies easy to use.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with other engineers to ensure seamless integration between hardware and software
- Conduct code reviews and provide constructive feedback to team members
- Develop software documentation and provide cross-training to other team members
- Troubleshoot and resolve software issues in a timely manner
- Participate in the software development life cycle, from requirement analysis to deployment
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or related field of study
- Ability to support a design through all software lifecycles
- Experience working with real-time embedded systems, including low-level drivers
- Hands-on experience developing, testing, and debugging hard real-time software
- Familiarity with embedded Linux, Linux kernel modules, and standard Linux tools
- Strong knowledge of programming compiled (C, C ) and scripted (Python, shell script, etc.) languages
- Experience writing software for microcontrollers and other embedded systems
- Familiarity with software configuration management
- Hand-on experience with lab equipment and electronics hardware
