More about this role
The Space Software Team at HawkEye 360 is looking for a curious, hands-on engineer who wants to work directly with spacecraft hardware and software. You’ll configure payload hardware for spacecraft integration, run and troubleshoot software-driven tests, and support the lab systems and flatsats we use to develop and validate our payloads. You’ll work closely with Software, FPGA, Electrical, and AI&T engineers, giving you the opportunity to learn how the entire payload works from development through launch and on-orbit operations.
We’re looking for someone with a strong foundation in Python and Linux who enjoys getting their hands on hardware, digging into problems, and learning new technologies.
This role requires on-site work in our Herndon, VA office at least 4 days per week.
- Configure and prepare payload hardware and software for spacecraft integration, including programming and flashing embedded devices.
- Run and troubleshoot software-driven tests on flight and lab hardware.
- Maintain and troubleshoot payload flatsats, Ground Support Equipment (GSE), and lab test setups.
- Investigate hardware and software issues using logs, telemetry, schematics, and lab equipment.
