Key responsibilities & impact- Partner with GN&C algorithm developers to transition algorithms from prototype environments into performant, testable, flight-appropriate software implementations
- Design, implement, integrate, and maintain GN&C flight software for the MK2 Crew Lander
- Develop navigation and computer vision capabilities, including image pre-processing, modular algorithm architectures, camera interfaces, telemetry, command interfaces, and integration with core flight software
- Collaborate with avionics, embedded software, payload, and flight hardware teams on camera, sensor, driver, API, communications, timing, synchronization, and data handling requirements
- Develop hardware-in-the-loop, software-in-the-loop, and laboratory test capabilities for repeatable GN&C and VBN validation
- Establish flight software engineering practices including automated builds, static analysis, unit and integration testing, code coverage, regression testing, fuzz testing, continuous integration, configuration control, and acceptance-test planning
- Contribute to safety-critical and human-spaceflight software maturation through requirements traceability, verification planning, fault handling, deterministic behavior, and clear interface definitions
- Mentor and technically guide less experienced engineers in software design, debugging, code review, testing strategy, and disciplined development practices
- Independently drive software architecture and implementation decisions for assigned capabilities
- Identify and retire integration risks early
- Influence engineering standards and development practices
- Deliver high-quality software and test evidence supporting vehicle milestones
- Lead technical discussions and improve GN&C software capabilities
Requirements
What you’ll need- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field

- Experience developing production-quality software in C/C++ and Rust
- Ability to work effectively in mixed-language software environments
- Experience integrating software with physical hardware, sensors, embedded compute systems, drivers, and communications interfaces
- Experience designing software architectures, APIs, modular interfaces, and testable systems for complex technical products
- Strong understanding of software verification practices, including unit testing, integration testing, automated build and test pipelines, code review, debugging, and root-cause analysis
- Ability to work effectively across algorithm, hardware, systems engineering, test, and software groups
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to communicate technical decisions, risks, and tradeoffs to diverse engineering stakeholders
- Ability to earn trust through hands-on technical contribution, constructive mentorship, and disciplined engineering execution
- Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident/current Green Card holder, or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum
- Preferred: experience with GN&C, navigation, state estimation, sensor fusion, visual odometry, computer vision, terrain relative navigation, robotics, or autonomous vehicles
- Preferred: experience deploying computer vision or machine perception capabilities on embedded or flight-like computing hardware
- Preferred: experience with cFS/cFE, flight software frameworks, real-time operating systems, or spacecraft avionics software
- Preferred: experience developing camera drivers, image acquisition pipelines, camera calibration workflows, or time-synchronized multi-sensor systems
- Preferred: familiarity with spacecraft flight software lifecycle practices, requirements-based verification, qualification testing, safety-critical development, and mission assurance expectations
- Preferred: experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, simulation, test automation, or lab infrastructure development
- Preferred: demonstrated use of C++ and Rust in embedded, systems, aerospace, or high-reliability applications
- Preferred: familiarity with software security and robustness practices such as fuzz testing, memory-safety analysis, static analysis, dependency management, and secure build pipelines
- Preferred: experience with lunar, planetary, spacecraft, or human-spaceflight programs
- Preferred: experience serving as a senior technical mentor, technical lead, or engineering coach while remaining primarily hands-on
