Original job description

Job Title: Embedded Software EngineerJob DescriptionThis role focuses on developing and validating embedded flight software for a deployed payload system that incorporates advanced sensors in a novel space application. You will work in a fully digital environment, creating C++-based software for space-based sensor systems, ensuring that all software is flight-qualified and meets stringent regulatory and operational requirements. The position offers the opportunity to contribute directly to mission-critical flight software and collaborate closely with systems and hardware engineering teams.Responsibilities

Design, develop, and test embedded flight software in C++ for space-based sensor and payload systems.
Execute digital simulations to validate software performance, functionality, and behavior under flight conditions.
Ensure all software meets flight qualification standards and relevant regulatory requirements for flight-critical systems.
Debug and resolve complex software issues within real-time operating system (RTOS) environments such as VxWorks.
Collaborate closely with systems engineering and hardware teams to integrate embedded software with payload and sensor hardware.
Document software architecture, detailed design, test procedures, and validation results in a clear and traceable manner.
Participate in technical design reviews and assessments, providing input on software design decisions and system-level trade-offs.
Implement embedded code that adheres to specifications and can be effectively tested and validated in simulated environments.
Apply a systematic problem-solving methodology to isolate root causes, analyze constraints, and drive issues to resolution.
Gather and interpret technical data and empirical evidence to inform debugging, troubleshooting, and optimization decisions.
Generate multiple viable technical solutions to complex software challenges while operating within engineering and system constraints.
Architect software solutions that respect timing, memory, processing, and safety limitations at the system level.
Demonstrate technical resilience by persisting through difficult problems and successfully resolving complex embedded software issues.

Essential Skills

Minimum 5 years of experience in embedded software development.
Strong proficiency in C++ for embedded systems and low-level software development.
Hands-on experience with embedded C and embedded software design for real-time applications.
Demonstrated experience developing flight software rather than ground support software.
Prior experience with flight-qualified or flight-critical software development in aerospace or similar domains.
Proven expertise in Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), specifically VxWorks.
Experience conducting digital simulations for software validation and performance analysis.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a structured and systematic approach to diagnosing issues.
Ability to perform fact-based analysis by gathering, interpreting, and leveraging technical data and empirical evidence.
Capability to recognize and manage system-level constraints such as timing, memory, processing limitations, and safety requirements.
Demonstrated technical resilience and analytical rigor when resolving complex embedded software problems.
Ability to architect and implement embedded code that performs to specification and can be thoroughly tested and validated.
Eligibility to obtain and maintain a security clearance appropriate for classified work environments.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
Experience working with missile or other high-reliability, mission-critical systems.
Strong embedded experience with familiarity across the full embedded software lifecycle, from design through qualification.
Ability to develop multiple solution options and evaluate trade-offs within engineering constraints.
Effective collaboration skills for working with systems engineering and hardware teams.
Clear technical communication skills for documenting designs, test procedures, and validation results, and for participating in design reviews.

Work EnvironmentThis position operates within a secure classified facility (SCIF) environment, supporting sensitive space and payload programs. Work is performed primarily in an office and lab setting, using digital simulation tools, embedded development environments, and RTOS-based platforms such as VxWorks. The role is based in established aerospace hubs with locations in Sunnyvale, CA, Denver, CO, or Huntsville, AL, offering collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams. You will work in a professional environment that emphasizes rigor, precision, and adherence to security protocols, with standard business hours that may occasionally require flexibility to support critical testing, reviews, or mission milestones. Job Type & LocationThis is a Contract position based out of Huntsville, AL. Pay and BenefitsThe pay range for this position is $65.00 - $95.00/hr. Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors.Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment.
