Job Description
Software Engineer – Space Startup (Client Opportunity)
🚀 Help Build the Future of Space Travel 🚀
We’re hiring a Software Engineer for an early-stage space startup developing automated space stations to refuel and repair spacecraft. Their technology will extend mission lifespans, increase payload capacity, and push the boundaries of deep-space exploration.
This is a rare opportunity to join a well-funded, fast-moving team working on cutting-edge space infrastructure. If you’re passionate about aerospace, thrive in high-intensity startup environments, and want to build something truly groundbreaking, this could be the perfect fit.
What You’ll Work On:
- Develop payload computer software , interfacing with multiple subsystems.
- Design the software architecture for space stations.
- Write clean, efficient Python and C++ code for mission-critical systems.
- Build real-time, high-reliability software for space applications.
- Integrate software with avionics, sensors, and actuators .
- Implement communication protocols like RS422, I2C, CAN, and Ethernet .
Who This Role is For:
- Strong coding skills in Python (C++ is a plus).
- Recent graduates or engineers with 1-2 years of experience are encouraged to apply.
- A passion for spaceflight and high-reliability software .
- A self-starter who thrives in a high-workload, high-impact startup—this is not a 9-to-5 job.
- Space industry experience is great but not required—attitude and problem-solving ability matter most.
What’s in it for You?:
- Competitive salary ($90K-$110K) + equity (0.1% - 1%)—get in early and be part of the upside.
