Flight Software Engineer

EVONA is working with an ambitious space technology company developing autonomous spacecraft capabilities, and we’re looking for a Flight Software Engineer to join their growing avionics team.

You’ll develop deterministic, safety-critical flight software for autonomous spacecraft, working closely with avionics, autonomy and hardware engineers to build, integrate and validate mission-critical systems.

What you’ll be doing

• Developing flight software in C++
• Building software for RTOS-based flight computers, including RTEMS or FreeRTOS
• Implementing FDIR, fault-tolerant control and defensive programming
• Developing software for embedded, resource-constrained systems
• Integrating and testing flight software on representative spacecraft hardware
• Debugging and performance characterisation
• Working closely with multidisciplinary avionics, autonomy and hardware teams

What we’re looking for

• Strong C++ development experience
• Embedded software experience using RTOS and/or Linux
• Understanding of real-time and safety-critical software
• Knowledge of FDIR, fault tolerance and error handling
• Experience with multi-process architectures and IPC
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
• Space or spacecraft software experience is highly desirable

You'll be joining a fast-moving engineering team working on complex autonomous spacecraft systems, with plenty of technical ownership from development through integration and test.
