- Designing and implementing mechanisms to support OTA updates on production satellites
- Be the Linux expert (kernel, CPU-architecture, general device-drivers, etc.) on the engineering team
- Working in a small, agile team to manage the software development lifecycle (requirements definition, design, implementation, test, and verification)
Required Qualifications:
- A Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Software, Electrical, Aerospace, or in a related engineering field
- 7+ years of experience building and shipping embedded Linux distributions
- Expert knowledge of C/C++, Git, and Yocto/OpenEmbedded
- Expert knowledge of embedded Linux configuration, development, board support packages, bootloaders, kernel, and drivers
- Experience with root cause analysis, and advanced troubleshooting at the kernel-level
- Experience working with common protocols such as RS-232, SPI, I2C, and CAN
- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop integration and testing
- Demonstrated experience with all phases of the software development life cycle
- Great communication skills and experience working with cross-disciplinary teams
Ways to stand out:
-
- Experience with PREEMPT_RT
- Experience developing and testing software for SmallSats / CubeSats
- Experience using CI/CD to produce release artifacts
- Experience with Docker
- Experience creating container images from Yocto artifacts
