Software Engineering Intern (Spring 2027)
About The Position
Rendezvous Robotics is solving the problem of rocket fairing constraints with electromagnetic self-assembling tiles: modular spacecraft components that rendezvous, dock, and latch to assemble bigger and more powerful spacecraft than anything that can be folded to fit into a rocket. We're a small team based in Golden, Colorado, executing on a clear path from flight demonstration to our first operational systems. Our work spans hardware, software, and systems engineering. We are looking for the best people in the world who want to build the next generation of advanced spacecraft.
Requirements
- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Comfortable in C/C++ and Python
- Understanding of basic networking and distributed systems concepts
- Some experience with embedded Linux or bare-metal firmware
Nice To Haves
- Experience with embedded toolchains and frameworks
- Familiarity with real-time operating systems or scheduling constraints
- Exposure to common embedded communication buses
- Any hands-on robotics, drone, or satellite project experience
Responsibilities
- Write and test flight software for our onboard compute platform
- Build out tools for ground station operations, including telemetry visualization and command sequencing
- Work on communication protocols between units that have to keep working as the assembly changes shape or membership
- Help build simulation environments for testing new logic before it touches hardware
- Debug issues that span the software and hardware boundary, alongside the electrical team
