TL;DR
Flight Software Lead (C/C++): Leading development of real-time flight software for VLEO spacecraft, including control flows, autonomy, mode management, FDIR, and core flight applications with an accent on deterministic embedded systems, hardware integration, and end-to-end verification. Focus on designing fault-tolerant spacecraft behavior, validating software through simulation and HIL testing, and delivering secure updates from code review through launch and on-orbit operations.
Location: Reading (London), United Kingdom; hybrid setup with one dedicated remote day per week. Relocation support and visa sponsorship are available for candidates joining from abroad.
Company
Space develops very-low-Earth-orbit satellites operating at approximately 200 km to advance global connectivity and insight.
What you will do
- Lead, recruit, coach, and direct the flight software engineering team.
- Own the onboard flight software stack, designing and testing real-time C/C++ software on RTOS or Embedded Linux.
- Define interfaces and integrate spacecraft subsystems through I2C, SPI, UART, CAN-FD, GPIO, and SpaceWire.
- Implement spacecraft behaviors, mode management, sequencing, autonomy, and fault detection, isolation, and recovery.
- Build simulation, SIL/HIL, verification, telemetry analysis, CI/CD, and observability infrastructure.
- Support integration, launch operations, on-orbit operations, and secure over-the-air updates.
Requirements
- 5+ years of spacecraft flight software development experience, including leadership of engineers delivering flight software.
- Production embedded or real-time systems experience in C/C++ and/or Rust on RTOS or Embedded Linux.
- Strong knowledge of scheduling, interrupts, concurrency, determinism, and constrained CPU and memory management.
- Experience with unit and integration testing, simulation-first development, HIL validation, and disciplined debugging.
- Hands-on hardware integration and lab debugging using common spacecraft interfaces.
- Experience with software architecture, code review, static analysis, CI/CD, configuration management, and observability.
Nice to have
- Experience with spacecraft flight software frameworks such as cFS or F´.
- Knowledge of autonomy, fault management, radiation and SEU mitigation, watchdogs, redundancy, and safe-mode design.
- GNC/AOCS-adjacent experience, including sensor and actuator pipelines, control-loop integration, estimation, filters, and timing analysis.
- Digital-twin, simulator, SIL/HIL, or on-orbit operations experience.
Culture & Benefits
- Work on ion propulsion technology and a ULEO satellite platform.
- Ownership of the full satellite technology lifecycle.
- Competitive salary and equity participation.
- Private health insurance with dental and optical coverage, plus annual healthcare check-ups.
- Hybrid work arrangement with one dedicated remote day per week.
- Visa sponsorship and relocation support for candidates joining from abroad.
