The Onboard Software Solutions Team is responsible for creating, configuring, and deploying all onboard software components dedicated to a program or mission. We configure and extend agnostic onboard software to fit a given satellite architecture and requirements, and are responsible for the development, end-to-end testing, and release of that onboard software.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology, helping build modern automated infrastructure, bringing software and space together. As well as developing our future systems, the role will also be working on real-time issues on live missions, helping to solve problems as they occur.
