Mission Brief

Join our Flight Software team and help develop the software that governs vehicle behaviour throughout all phases of flight, from launch through mission completion. You will design, implement and verify flight software, including vehicle state machines, mission sequencing, autonomy functions and vehicle control software, working closely with systems, avionics and GNC engineers.

Your Role in Our Space Mission:

• Design and implement vehicle flight modes, state machines and mission sequencing logic.
• Develop software that coordinates and controls vehicle behaviour throughout the mission.
• Translate system-level requirements into robust, maintainable and well-tested software solutions.
• Contribute to flight software architecture, component interfaces and platform evolution.
• Develop and maintain simulation environments used for software development and verification.
• Implement and integrate algorithms into production flight software.
• Develop tools and automation using Python and MATLAB.
• Investigate and resolve software defects, including subtle edge cases and operationally specific issues.

Qualification Checklist

• Strong software development skills in C++.
• Experience designing and maintaining software systems of meaningful complexity.
• Understanding of software architecture, testing and debugging techniques.
• Experience working in Linux-based development environments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and the ability to learn new technical domains quickly.
• Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Disciplined, detail-oriented engineering mindset with the persistence to drive issues to root cause.
