Original job description

Where dreams and reality collide and the output is, out of this world. At Redwire Space, we are a team of dreamers and doers. Where the impossible becomes possible, and every day is an opportunity to learn and get one step closer to knowing the unknown. Join us on our mission to expand humanity's presence in space. Summary Redwire Space Missions LLC, in Littleton, CO is seeking a Sr.Staff, Embedded Software Engineer, to join our team. In this position, you will be responsible for the design, development, integration, and testing of embedded software for spacecraft avionics and mission systems. This role includes ownership of software modules throughout their lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through coding, verification, and delivery. You will work closely with systems, electrical, and test engineering teams to implement reliable flight and ground software for mission success.

Responsibilities:

Develop, integrate, and maintain embedded software for mission-critical spacecraft subsystems and testbeds.
Translate system and subsystem requirements into software architectures, designs, and implementations.
Implement algorithms for command and data handling (C&DH;), fault detection, power control and distribution, and communications.
Develop device drivers, middleware, and real-time applications for spacecraft avionics hardware.
Perform unit, integration, and system-level software testing, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments.
Support software verification and validation campaigns, including formal reviews and demonstrations.
Collaborate with hardware engineers to define interfaces and ensure correct hardware/software integration.
Support anomaly investigation, root cause analysis, and corrective actions for software-related issues.
Develop documentation including requirements, design descriptions, interface control documents (ICDs), and test reports.
Ensure compliance with aerospace software quality standards and configuration management processes.

Ideal Experience:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
10+ years of professional experience in embedded software development (aerospace or defense preferred).
Proficiency in C and C++ for embedded systems; knowledge of Python or MATLAB for analysis and testing.
Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as VxWorks, RTEMS, FreeRTOS, or similar.
Familiarity with spacecraft avionics interfaces and protocols (e.g., MIL-STD-1553, CAN, SpaceWire, RS-422, Ethernet).
Experience developing device drivers and low-level hardware/software integration.
Experience with version control systems (Git, SVN) and issue-tracking tools (JIRA, Confluence).
Experience working with cross-functional teams within an agile execution framework and communicate effectively with hardware and systems engineers.
Must have the ability to obtain DOD security clearance.
Some limited travel.

Desired Skills

Experience with SoC/FPGA system design for hardware interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Camera Sensor Interface (CSI) & Ethernet.
Experience with developing software for various microcontrollers.
Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills with embedded targets.
Strong problem-solving, troubleshooting, and fault isolation skills.
Demonstrated leadership in mentoring junior engineers and contributing to software architecture decisions.

Pay Range $165,000 - $190,000/yr. How We Determine What We Pay (Compensation Philosophy) Redwire determines pay for positions using local, national, and industry-specific survey data, for our locations throughout the US. We will evaluate external equity and the cost of labor/prevailing wage index, in the relative marketplace for jobs directly comparable to jobs within our company. For new hires, we strive to make competitive offers allowing the new employee room for future growth. Salaries will be based on the applicant's level of experience, education, and specialized knowledge and skills. Additionally, we consider the external market rate, the amount we have budgeted internally, and internal equity within the company for the same position. An employee/candidate with a stronger skill set will receive higher pay. Redwire is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with Redwire is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status. All offers of employment at Redwire are contingent upon clear results of a thorough background check and your ability to provide proof of eligibility to work in the US. Note that some positions will also require US citizenship or ability to obtain a security clearance due to requirements of a classified program. To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
