Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
We are seeking an experienced Flight Software Senior Engineer to lead the development of the embedded, critical software running aboard our future fleet of spacecraft. You will be part of the In-Orbit Services team within the Future Systems Department, reporting to the Principal Engineer of the project and working closely with the other engineering disciplines.
Key Responsibilities
In your capacity as Flight Software Senior Engineer, you will be in charge of defining and implementing the flight software for servicing spacecraft. You will coordinate tightly with the Nyx Flight Software team to develop synergies. Your role will continuously evolve, but initially your day‐to‐day duties will include:
Take ownership of work packages or full future projects related to Flight Software:
Define functional breakdowns,
high‐level requirements and their associated flow‐down and manage / maintain the technical baselines to ensure that the design answers the needs of the respective project
Manage interfaces and requirements towards Avionics and other hardware sections
Provide software architectures and conceptual designs, perform technical trade‐offs, budget and performance calculations
Develop elements of low‐level software (operating systems, system drivers, communication protocols etc) and high‐level software (applications, control algorithms etc)
Provide development logic, implementation, verification and validation plans
Ensure the delivery on time, on quality and on cost of the work packages in your responsibility
In coordination with the Bid Manager, elaborate the technical and programmatic parts for Flight Software related work packages to submit winning proposals for new future projects
