The Onboard Software Solutions Team is responsible for creating, configuring, and deploying all onboard software components dedicated to a program or mission. We configure and extend agnostic onboard software to fit a given satellite architecture and requirements, and are responsible for the development, end-to-end testing, and release of that onboard software.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology, helping build modern automated infrastructure, bringing software and space together. As well as developing our future systems, the role will also be working on real-time issues on live missions, helping to solve problems as they occur.

About this Role:

  • Streamline the creation, integration, validation, and release of onboard software by improving test coverage, automating testing, and minimizing time from feature development to availability on-orbit.
  • Configure standard onboard software components for customers' payloads and support the deployment and troubleshooting internally and externally
  • Own and evolve the tools for onboard software creation, versioning, testing, and release management while providing transparent, up-to-date status tracking for all stakeholders across programs and missions.
  • Collaborate closely with the broader Engineering and Satellite Operations teams to ensure the rapid, reliable, and thoroughly tested deployment of onboard software for customers.
