EraDrive solves pressing needs in space safety, performance, and defense at scale through one solution. These include applications such as space traffic management, on-orbit servicing and logistics, and advanced remote sensing. Backed by Point Nine Capital.
About the role
You will own the architecture, implementation, and verification of Era-Node’s flight software. You will work closely with GNC engineers and embedded software engineers and you will be the technical authority on how the flight software is structured, built, tested, and updated. Define the flight software architecture, including the framework or executive it is built on, and document the reasoning Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of professional experience in flight software for satellite buses or satellite payloads
- Strong C++ and C skills on embedded Linux, including PREEMPT_RT or comparable real-time configurations, device drivers, and boot and update flows
- Hands-on experience with a flight software framework (for example cFS or F´), or with designing command and data handling software from scratch
- Experience with fault management, telemetry and command design, and interface control documents
- Experience with software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop testing
- Comfort reading and integrating research-grade code written by scientists and engineers
More about this role
EraDrive builds autonomy software and hardware that let spacecraft see, decide, and act with minimal human supervision. Our software is already flying on multiple satellites. Era-Node is our autonomous software+hardware payload for optical positioning, navigation and timing, and we are growing the team that will build its flight software.
