Job description

About Us
Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world. 
 
We're launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth, updated in real time, enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence.
 
We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world's most advanced earth observation satellites. Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they're needed most.
Responsibilities
  • Responsible for building and implementing automation solutions for spacecraft and ground station for operating swarms of coordinated imaging satellites
  • Implement controllers developed by GNC engineers to plan and execute satellite maneuvers, including orbit corrections and station-keeping, to optimize satellite positions and performance.
  • Develop and maintain mission planning software that integrates mission design, operational concepts, and flight hardware requirements
  • Design and implement systems to manage asynchronous data streams, integrating real-time information to generate and upload new decisions and schedules
  • Design architecture concepts considering spacecraft coordination, payload and system budget capabilities, data collection requirements, autonomy, and mission operations
  • Implement automation and algorithms for precise orbit determination of Array Labs and GNSS satellites
  • Evolve and implement models to characterize vehicles and satellite systems propulsion, power, precision, navigation, timing, and tracking requirements
  • Optimize schedules to maximize imagery opportunities based on imaging priorities and system capabilities
Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or a related field, with 3+ years of experience
  • At least two of the preferred skill and experiences listed
  • Experience developing autonomous systems and integrating them into larger operational frameworks.
  • Understanding of how to create, configure, and manage Docker containers
  • Experience with continuous integration systems and automated test execution pipelines (Gitlab preferred).
  • Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, C++, or Rust.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Familiarity with database systems and CRUD operations in database management, preferably PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB
  • Familiarity with RESTful API design and implementation
  • Experience with physics-based software packages and/or model-based digital engineering tools
Preferred Skills & Experience
  • Knowledge of precision orbit determination methods
  • Familiarity with FreeFlyer, STK GMAT, and/or custom-developed equivalent
  • Familiarity with satellite dynamics, including orbit determination, attitude control systems, and station-keeping maneuvers.
  • Experience with flight software and embedded systems
  • Experience setting up automated hardware in the loop (HIL) test benches
  • Familiarity with satellite mission operations and/or Ground Station as a Service providers
  • Experience with geospatial, remote sensing, 3D data, and/or digital signal processing techniques (e.g. SAR and optical satellite imagery, LiDAR point clouds).
$150,000 - $300,000 a year
Compensation & Benefits
Our hiring and compensation strategy is simple: find uncommonly good people and pay them uncommonly well.
 
We offer high flexibility between salary and equity-based compensation. Final candidates can choose from three compensation mixes: low, medium, or high equity. Equity is a significant component of total compensation, and we aim to provide meaningful ownership for this role.
