The posting

As a Flight Software Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, developing, and testing flight software that powers these advanced systems. You'll work closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-performance, real-time embedded software that operates reliably under extreme conditions. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who thrives on solving hard problems, building robust systems from the ground up, and moving fast without compromising quality.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and test real-time embedded flight software for missile systems
  • Collaborate with GNC engineers, systems engineers, and hardware teams to ensure seamless integration
  • Implement and maintain software for high-reliability, safety-critical environments
  • Support simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and flight testing to validate performance
  • Participate in root cause analysis and debugging across software and system interfaces
  • Follow rigorous software lifecycle practices, including configuration management and verification
  • Contribute to defining and improving development processes, tools, and standards
  • Stay informed on emerging technologies and best practices relevant to flight software and real-time systems

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelors or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
  • Experience: Open to candidates across all experience levels, from early-career engineers to senior technical contributors.
  • Professional experience, internships, research, open-source contributions, or other hands-on technical work will be considered.
  • Proficiency in C/C++ and experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS)
  • Familiarity with hardware/software integration and real-time system constraints
  • Experience working with GNC systems or similar control-intensive applications
  • Strong understanding of testing practices including simulation and HIL environments
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary team environment
  • Active or eligible for a Top-Secret security clearance

Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Experience developing flight software for missile, launch vehicle, or spacecraft systems
  • Exposure to FPGA-based systems and embedded software optimization techniques
  • Knowledge of secure software development and cybersecurity best practices
  • Familiarity with agile or iterative development methodologies
  • Hands-on experience with software verification, validation, and integration in defense environments

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
