The Role

Constellation's Flight Software team writes the code that actually flies the hardware. We are looking for a Flight Software Engineer to design and implement the highly reliable, real-time embedded systems that control our spacecraft and flight vehicles.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, test, and deploy mission-critical flight software in C/C++.

  • Implement guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) algorithms on embedded hardware.

  • Perform Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) testing to validate software under simulated flight conditions.

  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to define system architecture and interfaces.

Requirements

  • B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or similar.

  • Exceptional programming skills in modern C and C++.

  • Extensive experience with Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and embedded Linux.

  • Familiarity with hardware communication protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN, RS-422) and low-level debugging.
