Senior Flight Software Engineer

Join to apply for the Senior Flight Software Engineer role at EOI Space.
EOI Space is developing and deploying a network of satellites in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) to provide ultra-high-resolution Earth imagery. We aim to deliver timely and actionable data for commercial and defense applications. We are on our way to achieving many industry firsts. This demands an ambitious team that thrives on challenges, takes ownership, and collaborates deeply.

• Develop applications for the Bus Flight Software to interface to components and to safely manage system state and behaviors.
• Participate in Assembly, Integration, and Test (AI&T) activities to progressively qualify FSW from component checkout through whole-spacecraft flight testing.
• Operate in a lean start-up environment, maintaining a laser focus on the balance between what we need today and the things we are excited to add and enhance tomorrow.
• Collaborate with Ground Software engineers to support end-to-end testing through the Ground Software stack, ensuring seamless FSW-GSW integration and operational readiness.
• Develop and deploy software to bench, rack, and flight versions of the payload processing system.
• Support testing and qualification campaigns as well as on-orbit updates after launch.
• Optimize for space – select and apply lightweight but modern OSS frameworks and tools, applied in a bandwidth-conscious way to support on-orbit updates to any level of the system (OS to applications).

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
• High competency with both scripted and compiled/type-checked languages (e.g. C/C++, Python, Rust).
• 5–8 years professional experience as a software engineer.
• Relevant experience will include revision control using Git, embedded systems development, and previous space flight software development and test.

• Comfortable with SIL and HIL test environments.
• Hands‑on experience NASA core Flight System (cFS), ROS, or other flight/robotics frameworks.

The salary range for this role is $130,000 – $190,000 per year, depending on previous experience.

This is an onsite role to be located in Louisville, CO.
