Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain front-end applications for satellite ground systems using modern web frameworks. Collaborate cross-functionally, implement secure client authentication, integrate with backend services (REST/GraphQL/gRPC), use Agile/Atlassian tools, and support DevSecOps/cloud workflows to deliver production-ready features.

Support integration and test of the Forward Area Air Defense (FAAD) software system: develop and execute system test threads, analyze interface/function problems, document issues, present results to management and government, and support worldwide integration events. Travel up to 25% and a DoD Secret clearance (or eligibility) is required.

Develop, test, and deploy algorithmic solutions for large-format LBPF toolpath generation and integrate engineering software into factory applications. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, contribute to CI/CD and containerized deployments, perform code reviews, and build scalable, production-grade manufacturing software.

Design and implement embedded software systems, develop real-time control systems, optimize performance, interface with hardware, mentor peers, and lead product development.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will enhance user experience for maritime tech, develop a real-time data platform, and oversee large engineering projects.

Lead and grow the Cloud team to design, build, and operate Northwood's cloud platform for global antenna scheduling, booking, provisioning, orchestration, billing, customer APIs, control and data planes, telemetry, and monitoring. Set technical direction, mentor engineers, ensure reliable high-throughput data delivery, and coordinate integrations with Ground and Data teams and site operations.

Lead design and implementation of cloud-based backend systems for global antenna scheduling, customer-facing APIs, billing/metering, and orchestration. Build reliable, scalable control and data planes across cloud and on-prem, collaborate with customers and operations, and enable secure TT&C and payload data transfer.

Lead the Full Stack Software discipline by defining technical vision, governing tools/processes/training, building a community of practice, enabling sector-wide engineering toolchains, resolving technical shortfalls, embedding lessons learned, and improving software engineering KPIs and interoperability across multiple Aeronautics sites. This is a strategic leadership role focused on governance and enablement rather than day-to-day coding.

Design, develop, integrate, test, deploy, and maintain backend applications and services for satellite ground systems. Implement server-side code (Python, C++, Node.js, Go), build APIs and messaging systems, coordinate cross-functional integration/testing, use DevSecOps and Atlassian tools, and support program milestones through system maturity.

Design, develop, integrate, test, and debug embedded real-time software. Lead architecture and lifecycle management for RTOS-based systems, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams in Agile, and troubleshoot low-level firmware and multi-threaded embedded applications.

Lead design, testing, and delivery of flight RF software for space missions. Implement RF software architectures, develop DSP and calibration algorithms, design RF control algorithms, bring up RF systems, and collaborate with ground software teams to test satellite-to-ground data pipelines.

Design, implement, and maintain test and automation software for data acquisition, hardware control, and user-facing GUIs. Collaborate with test operations through the full test lifecycle: design, integration, deployment, debugging, and support. Review and write code, work onsite, and deliver innovative solutions for testing operations.

Design, write, and debug flight and ground software integration/regression tests (simulation and hardware-in-the-loop). Implement tests in Python, support C/C++ debug, bring up Docker containers and HIL environments, integrate hardware emulators, automate tests in CI/CD, and collaborate with GNC and ops to create day-in-the-life spacecraft test scenarios.

Develop real-time, fault-tolerant embedded firmware to control rocket and satellite actuators and motor-driven devices. Implement closed-loop control, interface with various sensors and communication protocols, design safety-critical state machines, support testing and hotfire campaigns, and produce unit-tested production firmware for spacecraft and testbeds.

Develop real-time, fault-tolerant embedded firmware for actuators and electromechanical control systems across launch vehicles and spacecraft. Implement closed-loop control, motor commutation, sensor feedback integration, and safety-critical state machines. Interface over CAN, SPI, UART, Ethernet, RS-422, and BISS-C; support testing, hotfire campaigns, and in-flight diagnostics. Produce unit-tested, production-quality firmware for harsh space environments.

Develop, implement, and test embedded C/C++ software for avionics hardware. Improve low-level processor functions, communication interfaces, closed-loop controls, and fault-detection logic. Produce both quick prototype code for testing and rigorous, reviewed code for manufacturing and flight, collaborating with hardware, GNC, and propulsion engineers.

Lead design, development, integration, testing, and debugging of real-time embedded software. Drive architecture and lifecycle management for RTOS-based, multi-threaded systems. Collaborate with systems, hardware, and test teams in an Agile environment and troubleshoot firmware/software interactions and data acquisition/control strategies.

Design, test, and deliver flight RF embedded software for space missions. Implement RF communications requirements, DSP and calibration algorithms, RF control algorithms, FPGA/baseband bring-up, and collaborate with ground teams to develop and test satellite-to-ground data pipelines and RF system integration.

Design, implement, validate, and maintain onboard image-processing and computer vision algorithms for spacecraft on microcontroller-class hardware. Collaborate with avionics, flight software, GNC, test, and mission teams to define performance requirements, build test tools and simulations, debug sensor bring-up and flight operations, and ensure robustness within constrained compute, memory, timing, and power budgets.

Design and implement real-time machine control software for 3D metal printing systems while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams to enhance system reliability and performance.

As a Senior Software Engineer, lead the development of real-time machine control systems for 3D metal printing platforms, influencing system performance and reliability. Mentor engineers, define software standards, and drive initiatives for system robustness and scalability.

The Software Integration & Test Engineer will develop automation software for production lines, manage test systems, and handle data acquisition, ensuring reliability and observability throughout the manufacturing process.

The role involves developing algorithms for robotic task and motion planning, collaborating with engineers, and enhancing software solutions for robotics systems.
