Where dreams and reality collide and the output is, out of this world. At Redwire Space, we are a team of dreamers and doers. Where the impossible becomes possible, and every day is an opportunity to learn and get one step closer to knowing the unknown. Join us on our mission to expand humanity’s presence in space. Summary Redwire Space Missions, LLC has a current opportunity for a Software Engineerlocated at our facility in Littleton, CO.

In this position, you will assist with the design, testing and integration of simulation and test software that will be used to validate flight software, Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) algorithms, and general operation of a satellite system. This role includes working with full software systems for modeling and simulation and performing integration with other software systems and hardware-in-the-loop. You will work closely with the flight software team, systems engineering, and electrical engineering to assemble a digital twin and flat sat for the mission.  

Responsibilities Develop, maintain, and configure simulation and test software to meet requirements for validating flight software, GN&C algorithms, and general satellite operation

Translate system requirements for digital twins and flat sats into software architectures, designs, and implementations.

Create component emulators which will be used to validate flight software modules and execute mission day in the life tests

Implement or adapt test software to execute full verification and validation tests on the spacecraft during assembly, integration, and test (AI&T) operations

Work with electrical engineering to design a flat sat which is an accurate representation of the spacecraft.

Perform unit, integration, and system-level software testing, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments.

Document project progress, software design, implementation, and testing processes

Adhere to all safety protocols and procedures while working with the test bench unit Assist with troubleshooting technical issues with simulation and test software systems
