Sr Software Engineer, Vehicle Software Infrastructure
About The Position
Design, develop, and maintain mission-critical, Linux-based infrastructure supporting command, telemetry, simulation, and automated test systems. Build and extend tools for executing tests across a range of environments, including virtual machines, HIL/SIL configurations, and vehicle-in-the-loop setups. Optimize system performance and reliability, with a focus on real-time, high-throughput data processing in Linux environments. Contribute to architectural decisions, sprint planning, and roadmap discussions to ensure scalable, maintainable systems. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including avionics, ground software, and flight software to ensure smooth integration and operational readiness. Mentor peers, share best practices, and help foster a culture of engineering excellence across the team.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including systems or infrastructure-level development.
- Proficiency in Rust and/or Python, with strong understanding of performance, concurrency, and systems-level programming.
- Experience developing in Linux environments, including working with real-time or performance-critical systems.
- Strong foundation in networking concepts (e.g., TCP/UDP, sockets, packet routing, protocol design)
- Experience building or maintaining reliable, testable software in CI/CD pipelines.
- Ability to design and deliver robust solutions for low-latency, high-throughput data pipelines.
Nice To Haves
- Experience developing or working with software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), or real-time simulation systems.
- Familiarity with real-time Linux kernel tuning, system observability, or performance debugging.
- Experience building tools for command and telemetry injection, test automation, or avionics/hardware development environments.
- Exposure to robotics, aerospace, embedded systems, or other mission-critical domains.
- Ability to lead technical investigations and contribute to architectural decisions in cross-functional teams.
- Background working on distributed systems, large-scale simulation environments, or hybrid software/hardware testing systems.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, especially working closely with hardware, embedded, and flight software teams.
