Got Mars?
The Space Sciences Lab is looking for a full-time embedded software engineer to write the instrument flight software for the twin-spacecraft ESCAPDE mission to Mars. If you have experience writing high-quality, reliable software in an embedded context (in C using FreeRTOS, uC/OS-III, VxWorks, RTEMS, etc.), we'd like to hear from you!
About the position:
* The high-level requirements and tentative board design are complete. You'll come up to speed on the requirements and begin the software design, then move on to writing and testing the software. You'll support the software throughout instrument integration, launch, and commissioning.
* There are other flight software developers at SSL you may consult with, but this will be your project. You'll have a high degree of autonomy in this position and will work primarily with the system engineer and project manager.
About the Space Sciences Lab:
* We conduct peaceful scientific research for NASA, NSF, and other funding sources on a variety of platforms including satellites, rockets, high-altitude balloons, and ground stations.
* The work environment isn't corporate or startup; it's an independent research lab in a university setting. The engineering work is both interesting and impactful, and there is great appreciation for engineers who love their craft.
* The work environment is collaborative, supportive, friendly, and exciting!
* Like at startups, generalists do well here and there is flexibility to move between roles. Unlike startups, there is great stability. And a pension.
