About the role
The Starshield Software team builds the software that boots, runs, and secures spacecraft and ground systems. As an Embedded Software Engineer on Starshield Platform, you will contribute across the stack that userspace applications depend on: early-stage bootloaders, Linux kernel and drivers, and any other firmware needed to reliably control CPU and FPGA hardware on Starshield vehicle nodes. You will own that software through its full lifecycle: development, test, and on-orbit support. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, math, or scientific discipline, OR 2+ years of professional experience in software development in lieu of a degree
- System-level development experience in C, C++, or Rust
- Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as needed
