Cluster Manager Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

Who we are:

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 delivertimelyand actionable data for commercial and defense applications.

We are on our way to achieving many industryfirsts. This demands an ambitious team that thrives on challenges, takes ownership, and collaborates deeply. EOI Space is looking foraPrincipal VehicleSoftware Engineer. In this hands-on technical leader role, you will have the opportunity to drive the end-to-end vehicle software solution, contributing to the payload processor subsystem, the bus flight software, and firmware components of each.These pillars support all aspects of our mission: a safe and healthy spacecraft, capable of collecting, onboard processing, downlink of exquisite imagery, andmaintaininga stable VLEO orbit for years.

What you will do:

• Provide technical leadership to a small team

• Coordinate, code, and leadimplementation ofcluster management and workload coordinationsystemsand tools to manage the HPCcluster in the payload system

• Implement and test highly optimized GPU-aware containerized image processing workloads on the cluster

• Contribute to and integrate withcFS-based bus flight software

• Guide and coordinate firmware development work to ensure that hardware and firmware designs mesh together to implementrequiredsystem functions

• Collaborate with the Principal Ground Software Engineer and vehicle and ground System Engineers to develop complete, holistic solutions to meet mission requirements

• Work hand in hand with Security, Export Compliance, and DevOps/Platform engineering to ensure we can deploy andmaintaintest, qualification, and flightlevel updates

• Operate in a lean start-up environment,maintaininga laser focus on the balance between what we need today and the things we are excited to add and enhance tomorrow
