Embedded Software Engineer

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system—with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices—we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Embedded Software Engineer to design, develop, and optimize software for battery-operated IoT devices with a strong emphasis on testing automation. The role involves developing low-level software, focusing on power efficiency, real-time performance, system reliability, and implementing robust testing frameworks. You will also contribute to Board Support Packages (BSPs), kernel-level development, and platform integration.
