Join a culture of empowerment and connectivity.

Learn the skills you need to accelerate your career.

Discover benefits that your life and work.

Build mission-ready tech that protects the nation.

Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big picture thinking to make an impact on national defense? You understand your client's environment and how to develop the right systems to support their mission. Your ability to translate real world needs into reliable embedded sof tware makes you a key contributor to delivering client focused engineering solutions.

As an experience d embedded systems and sof tware engineer, you will help solve complex challenges that drive the development of next generation satellite systems. You will take on a hands‑on role in designing, implementing, and testing embedded sof tware architectures that interface directly with FPGA based processing pipelines and spacecraft subsystems. You’ll enhance these systems through advanced technology solutions that meet demanding space and mission requirements.

You’ll apply your expertise while providing guidance to a cross-domain hardware‑ sof tware team focused on digital design, verification, and system integration. In this role, you will collaborate closely with FPGA engineers, RF engineers, and systems engineers to ensure seamless interaction between embedded sof tware components and onboard electronics. Through this work, you will help translate system level requirements into robust, real‑time sof tware implementations that enable reliable on‑orbit performance.

Join our team and help shape the future of resilient space systems in support of critical national security missions.

Join us. The world can't wait.
