Description: Job Title: Software Engineer lll - Flight Software

Duration: 6-month Contract

Pay rate: $80/hr

Start Date: Immediate

As a Flight Software Engineer, your primary responsibility will be designing and developing flight software

and algorithms solutions for spacecraft missions for both civilian and DoD applications. These designs

stem from understanding, analyzing and evaluating satellite and constellation capabilities, mission

concepts, and system requirements. Your work will ensure we meet customer requirements by making data-driven decisions in architecting, implementing and testing the design in a testbed prototype and

subsequent delivery of the flight code. Along the way, you will contribute to analyses of various

architectures that include space vehicles, satellites, sensors, communications, and ground infrastructure,

evolving or creating new approaches based on analysis results. You will also contribute to evaluating the

mission effectiveness of the candidate approaches, balancing mission objectives against factors such as

development and lifecycle costs.

The Software Engineer participates in all portions of the software life cycle (concept development,

requirements definition, design, development, testing, and deployment) of flight software to support

ongoing and future small satellite programs. This individual must have a strong working knowledge of

object-oriented design using C++ and must have a strong background in developing flight code on

embedded processors. The candidate must also be comfortable working in an Agile Scrum environment.

Key Responsibilities:

*Design, develop, and test software applications for space systems and technologies.

*Write clean, maintainable code following best practices and coding standards.

*Architect and implement complex software systems to meet project requirements.

Collaborate with team members to understand project requirements and contribute to the

development of software solutions.

*Utilize version control systems such as Git to manage code changes and collaborate with

team members.

*Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and adherence to development

standards.

*Troubleshoot and resolve software-related issues in a timely manner.

*Document software configurations, processes, and procedures for future reference.

*Stay current with industry trends and advancements in software development and space

technologies.

*Mentor and guide other engineers, providing technical leadership and support.

Minimum Qualifications:

*Requires a bachelor's degree in a related field (or equivalent work experience in lieu of

degree or master's +3 yrs experience).

*Typically, 5+ years of related experience.

* Familiarity with Open Standards such as CCSDS, C2MS, Open Mission Systems (OMS),

and Universal C2 Interface (UCI)

* Experience with spacecraft flight software development

* Experience developing mission management and/or payload control software

* Demonstrated experience leading a team developing software

*Experience with software tools for requirements tracking, code reviews, static analysis,

library and artifact repository, and automated build

* Knowledge of software development methodologies such as Agile/Scrum

* Experience and knowledge of Software Design Patterns
