What does a flight software engineer do?

A Flight Software Engineer designs, develops, tests, and maintains software that controls and monitors spacecraft, satellites, or aerospace vehicles. They ensure the software meets strict performance, reliability, and safety requirements for missions. This includes writing real-time code, integrating with hardware, debugging issues, and optimizing systems for efficiency. They work closely with hardware engineers, systems engineers, and mission operators to ensure seamless functionality.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a flight software engineer?

To thrive as a Flight Software Engineer, you need strong expertise in computer science, embedded systems, and control theory, usually supported by a degree in engineering or a related field. Experience with C/C++, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and aerospace industry standards like DO-178C is highly valued, along with certifications in safety-critical software development. Exceptional problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication abilities set top candidates apart. These skills ensure software reliability, mission success, and seamless collaboration in safety-critical aerospace environments.

What challenges do flight software engineers face and how do they overcome them?

Flight Software Engineers often face challenges such as developing software for safety-critical systems with strict reliability and performance requirements, as well as troubleshooting issues in complex avionics environments. They regularly work under tight deadlines and must rigorously test and validate code to meet aerospace certification standards. Overcoming these challenges involves thorough documentation, close collaboration with hardware and systems engineers, and a commitment to continuous learning about evolving technologies. Employers value engineers who can adapt quickly, employ systematic debugging, and communicate effectively within interdisciplinary teams.

Job description

SPACEWORKS
At SpaceWorks Enterprises, we specialize in next-generation high-speed flight systems, human and robotic spacecraft, as well as entry, descent & landing technologies. Our core competencies include conducting preliminary design of aerospace concepts, performing detailed multidisciplinary engineering analysis, developing commercial aerospace software, prototyping spacecraft hardware components, and conducting market and economic research within the aerospace industry. We serve clients from the Department of Defense, NASA, and the commercial space sector.
THE ROLE
SpaceWorks is seeking GNC engineers with a focus on designing and developing next-generation hypersonic flight vehicles, Earth-to-orbit launch systems, human and robotic spacecraft, and space re-entry vehicles. Seeking domain expertise inGuidance Algorithms, Navigation Analysis, 6-DoF Simulation & Modeling and Flight Testing.
A successful candidate will:
  • Have intuition and experience modeling and/or simulating supersonic/hypersonic aircraft and/or spacecraft in a multi-DoF simulation.
  • Able to work well as part of a small multidisciplinary team of technical staff to design complex systems and contribute to existing code bases.
  • Exhibit a "can do" and "want to" attitude - bringing an open-minded approach and a bias toward finding solutions.
  • Have experience supporting activities in modeling, simulation, analysis and design of high-speed flight systems including exo-atmospheric, endo-atmospheric, re-entry, and launch systems.

A DAY IN THE LIFE
GNC Engineer:
  • Develop Guidance, Navigation, and Control Architectures based on program requirements.
  • Conduct engineering approximations for expected navigation performance.
  • Conduct Actuator Sizing and Analysis, Inertial Navigation Analysis, aerodynamic vehicle modes assessment.
  • Develop and optimize trajectories using 3-DoF, 4-DoF & 6-DoF flight software.
  • Apply a strong understanding of closed loop guidance laws, such as Proportional Navigation, ZEM/ZEV, or reference trajectory tracking laws.
  • Include synthesis of mass, aero, propulsion, and structure models and constraints.
  • Include development of multi-objective functions to develop and optimize gain scheduled tables for aerodynamically-controlled vehicles.
  • Perform Monte Carlo (probabilistic analyses) to understand off-nominal closed-loop G/N/C performance.
  • Integrate simulations into an MDAO design environment.

WHAT WE OFFER
At SpaceWorks, we believe in cultivating a culture that offers the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. It is our firm belief that work-life balance is critical to strong, happy, healthy employees. As we challenge what is possible and push the boundaries of innovation, we stand together as a team.
