If you’re passionate about pushing the limits of embedded software and want your work to have a direct impact on next-generation space systems, this could be for you.
We’re working with a pioneering space technology company developing AI-enabled autonomy software for spacecraft. They’re building technology that allows satellites to sense, think, and act independently in orbit, and are now expanding their engineering team in London.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Designing and developing embedded software for advanced space systems.
- Writing real-time code for Linux-based RTOS environments.
- Prototyping and testing software on hardware to validate system performance.
- Building scalable, modular systems that support autonomous in-orbit operations.
- Collaborating with hardware and AI teams to integrate real-world functionality.
What You’ll Bring
- Strong background in C++ and Python development.
- Experience working with embedded Linux or real-time operating systems (RTOS).
- Solid understanding of microcontrollers, device drivers, and hardware integration.
- Comfortable debugging, testing, and optimising performance on embedded targets.
- A self-starter with a collaborative mindset, able to thrive in fast-moving environments.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet).
- Knowledge of containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Experience with BSP generation, real-time kernel configuration, or SoC platforms (e.g. NVIDIA).
- Background in the space, robotics, or autonomy industries.
