Software Engineer -- Aerospace & Defense

EO Solutions • Las Vegas, NV

9d • Onsite

About The Position

This role is based at our Las Vegas office, where our software, hardware, and systems teams work side-by-side. As a Software Engineer at EO Solutions, you’ll take a hands-on role in developing mission-critical systems that support Space Domain Awareness (SDA). This is not a narrow software development role — it’s a multidisciplinary engineering position where you’ll design, prototype, and deploy software that interacts with real-world sensors, supports operational decision-making, and adapts to fast-changing mission needs. You’ll work across the entire development lifecycle — from early-stage R&D to fielded deployments — contributing to both back-end and front-end systems, algorithm development, and infrastructure automation. Whether you're deploying services to edge devices in remote environments or refining code based on operator feedback, your work will directly impact national defense capabilities. We're looking for engineers who can think critically, operate independently, and communicate effectively with teammates from different engineering backgrounds. If you're energized by solving hard problems, working with physical systems, and building things that get used in the real world, you’ll thrive here.
