Full job description

We are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to join our Platform team (folks looking after the spacecraft). The successful candidate will play a crucial role in supporting other disciplines by focusing on the embedded software aspects of our satellite systems. The Platform team interfaces directly with many engineering groups to conduct R&D, design, manufacturing, and operations activities, ultimately ensuring all current and future spacecraft systems satisfy their mission.

Ideal candidates will embrace the commercialization of nanosatellite systems and adapt to low-cost, fast-paced systems design, development, and implementation methodologies that set Spire apart from our competition. In this fast-paced environment, the design to launch cycle is measured in weeks and months, not years!

What Youโ€™ll Do as a Senior Firmware Engineer:

  • Design, implement and test, deploy and maintain embedded firmware
  • Collaborate with other engineering functions on scoping, architecture and system design
  • Resolve on-orbit and on-ground issues related to embedded systems
  • Implement, optimize and maintain various serial protocols
  • Design and develop interface tools to improve abstraction between the embedded system and other satellite components
  • Debug and resolve complex embedded systems issues in a timely manner
  • Write and maintain technical documentation

Key Skills:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
  • Mastery of Embedded C programming language
  • Proficiency with scripting languages like Python and Bash
  • Extensive experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS), specifically FreeRTOS
  • Familiarity with serial protocols and implementations
  • Strong problem-solving skills, particularly in debugging embedded systems
  • Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git)
  • Experience developing on Linux (Ubuntu)
  • A base level of mathematical knowledge (engineering mathematic or similar)
  • Excellent communication and teamwork abilities

Preferred Skills:

  • Experience with space systems or satellite technology
  • Familiarity working to coding standards and using static analysis tools
  • Experience writing Rust for resource constrained environments (embedded Linux)
  • Experience with embedded Linux
  • Knowledge of control systems and algorithms

Tools and Technologies:

  • FreeRTOS for real-time operating system implementation
  • GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain for code compilation
  • GDB for debugging, complemented by extensive use of serial and/or CAN debugging
  • Experience with debugging techniques for systems without JTAG access, particularly for remote issue resolution
  • Familiarity with manual testing procedures for embedded interface code
  • Experience working with Arm Cortex Microcontrollers
  • Version control using Git

Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office.

Access to US export-controlled software and/or technology may be required for this role. If needed, Spire will arrange the necessary licensesโ€”this is not something candidates need to have before applying. #LI-MI
