Senior Embedded Linux & BSP Software Engineer (Avionics) - Millennium Space Systems
About The Position
Millennium Space Systems, a part of Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), is a fast, agile small satellite company focused on national security space. Our missions have direct impact to global security, like missile warning and Earth observation. Our team is curious, bold and innovative. We take risks, innovate and explore new techniques and technologies. We influence change because we challenge the status quo. And when we watch our satellites launch, we know each one of us made it happen. You will lead the bring-up of avionics hardware into Linux. This includes owning the board support package (BSP), custom kernel work, device trees, bootloaders, and the low-level drivers that expose our hardware to the OS. You’ll define and build the infrastructure that lets us deploy and validate these systems across flight computers, radios, and payload processors. You’ll also create internal tools to exercise hardware in the lab and on the production floor, enabling fast debug and reliable manufacturing.
