GNC Embedded Software Engineer
About The Position
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. Weâre intentional, weâre unapologetically curious and weâre 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life. As a key member of the GNC team, you will play a critical role in the design, development, and integration of embedded software for advanced GNSS-based embedded systems. You will define software specifications and architecture, implement low-level and application-level software components, integrate these components, and contribute to the development of high-performance GNSS algorithms running on resource-constrained platforms. You will also help create validation frameworks, test automation pipelines, and custom tools to support development and deliver high-quality and reliable software. You will collaborate with engineers from various fields including systems, GNC, and software, contributing to a supportive and cross-functional team environment.
