Overview

Albedo is seeking a Senior Flight Software Engineer to build next-gen flight and ground software for Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) missions. You'll work with Python and Embedded Linux to enhance satellite performance and longevity. This role requires a strong background in software engineering and systems thinking.

Job Description

Who you are

You have 5+ years of experience in software engineering, particularly in developing flight software for aerospace applications. Your background includes working with embedded systems and you understand the intricacies of software that operates in challenging environments like space. You are a systems thinker who balances precision with iteration, always keeping the big picture in mind. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are energized by the prospect of creating innovative solutions that push the boundaries of technology. You are comfortable with AI and its applications in enhancing software performance and operational efficiency. You are a builder who takes ownership of outcomes rather than just tasks, and you are excited about being part of a pioneering team that is making VLEO mainstream.

Desirable

Experience with satellite systems or aerospace engineering is a plus. Familiarity with AI applications in software development would be beneficial. A passion for space exploration and a desire to contribute to national security missions can set you apart.

What you'll do

As a Senior Flight Software Engineer at Albedo, you will be responsible for designing and implementing software that controls satellite operations in VLEO. You will work closely with hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration between software and hardware components. Your role will involve optimizing software for performance and reliability, ensuring that our satellites can operate effectively in their unique orbital environment. You will also be tasked with scaling production software for large constellations, which requires a deep understanding of both software architecture and operational requirements. Collaboration with cross-functional teams will be key, as you will partner with engineers from various disciplines to drive projects forward. You will have the opportunity to mentor junior engineers, sharing your expertise and fostering a culture of learning and innovation within the team. Your contributions will directly impact Albedo's mission to revolutionize satellite operations and enhance capabilities for customers.

What we offer

At Albedo, you will be part of a dynamic team that is at the forefront of space technology. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, along with the opportunity to work in a collaborative and innovative environment. You will have the chance to make a significant impact on the future of satellite missions and contribute to projects that matter for national security and everyday life on Earth. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement — your passion and willingness to learn are just as important as your technical skills. Join us in our mission to make VLEO mainstream and be one of the Bedo 100.
