About this job

We are currently looking for a Flight Software Engineer to join the team in Delft and work on advanced satellite systems.

You will join a team whose work spans mission integration, Earth Observation, secure communications, and space systems engineering. As a Senior Flight Software Engineer you will design, develop and verify the on-board software that routes and processes data on satellites.

Flight (Embedded) Software Engineer

Main responsibilities

You will help with the design, development and verification of satellite on-board software for data routing and processing. Since you're working on flight software, will be tight hardware constraints. Due to the nature of the job, the work has to be fully reliable, since it cannot be fixed once in orbit. You will work at the interface between software, systems, and hardware, and you own the code from architecture through integration and test; your design decisions will have an impact on the final product.

• You will develop code that integrates several complex interfaces and routes data between them.
• You will design software architecture that optimizes performance within the hardware constraints
• You support systems engineering with the requirement generation and functional flow-down.
• You create unit tests, perform system-level testing, and support hardware-in-the-loop setups to verify software functionality.
• You write clean, maintainable code and produce clear technical documentation to support design reviews and system audits.
• You work closely with other engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions (electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering).

Requirements

• You have at least 10 years of experience in embedded/low level software development .
• You have experience with real-time applications , such as Linux and RTOS.
• You have experience with spacecraft flight software , or comparable vehicle software requiring a high level of reliability.
• You have experience with CCSDS and ECSS space protocols, such as CFDP and PUS .
• You have been in contact before with UART and Ethernet .
• You have an educational background in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Embedded Systems or another relevant field.
• You are proficient in C, C++, and Python, and have experience with Rust.
• You are familiar with spacecraft systems engineering methodology such as MBSE.
• You have experience with test-driven development, CI/CD workflows, and Git.
• You have a fluent command of the English language.
• You are able to come on-site to the office in Delft. The possibility to work from home is limited.

Nice-to-have's :

• Familiarity with networking technologies such as TCP/IP, UDP/IP, and FTP.
• CAN-bus, I2C, SPI, SpaceWire .
• Familiarity with MISRA / AUTOSAR guidelines and/or ECSS coding standards .
• Experience with encryption and security .
• Working proficiency in Dutch .
