Embedded Software Engineer

Description:

ISI is looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to join our software team.

You’ll be the single owner of the software stack on one of our satellite programs - ground station through flight computer to payloads. The code, the builds, the CI, and the system integration are yours. You’ll work alongside hardware engineers during system bring-up and the wider software team day-to-day.

We’re looking for someone who reads documentation and ships independently.

• 3+ years of embedded software development in C, C++, and/or Python
• Relevant degree or equivalent
• Strong embedded Linux experience (userspace and system integration)
•  Experience with build systems for embedded targets
•  Hands-on CI/CD experience with testing frameworks for embedded software (build, test, package, deploy)
•  Demonstrated ability to operate independently on a complex system — reads documentation, figures things out, and ships without day-to-day supervision
• Comfortable integrating third-party SDKs and reference platforms when vendor support is thin
•  Strong Git discipline and software integration habits

• Own the software stack across ground station, flight computer, and payloads
• Maintain Yocto-based payload software: build, package, deploy
• Write and maintain the embedded and host-side software
•  Integrate code contributions from adjacent teams and turn them into shippable software
• Partner with hardware engineers on system bring-up and integration
• Debug across hardware, kernel, and userspace
•  Write and maintain automated tests and technical documentation
