Job description

Are you passionate about shaping the future of humanity's presence in space? Lunar Outpost, an industry leader in space robotics, invites you to join our team! Lunar Outpost is dedicated to creating a sustainable presence in space, while also driving positive impacts here on Earth. We are seeking a talented, experienced Senior Embedded Software Engineer. As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in developing cutting-edge algorithms that implement resilient, lightweight, and decentralized network solutions for edge environments. Working at the intersection of autonomy, robotics, and space exploration, you will design, develop, and implement sophisticated software solutions that enable the coordination of cross-domain autonomous systems. Your work will not only contribute to groundbreaking missions but also to technologies that have the potential to benefit humanity on Earth. Collaborating with cross-disciplinary engineering teams, you will help drive the integration of these systems into a unified,state-of-the-artnetwork stack, pushing the boundaries ofwhat'spossible in space exploration.
Take the #NextLeap with Lunar Outpost and work on the Pegasus LTV, which will carry NASA astronauts farther than they've ever been before on the lunar surface!
Key Responsibilities
  • Design and implement networking architectures and protocols for distributed robotic systems, focusing on secure mesh and DTN principles
  • Modelling of asset motion and links to prioritize traffic sent through dynamic networks
  • Integrate, evaluate, and optimize performance of novel network protocols in hardware-in-loop simulations, field-tests, and physical deployments (e.g., orbital, aerial, ground)
  • Collaborate with systems, mechanical, electrical, and thermal engineering teams to integrate and optimize software on space and ground assets
  • Stay abreast of advancements in networking, robotics, and space exploration technologies, leveragingnew findings to enhance our systems
  • Develop and implement robust software that enables autonomous operations in challenging orbital and lunar environments
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, including ICDs and verification plans, to ensure accurate and up-to-date information
  • Participate in design reviews, trade studies, and technical risk assessments
  • Ensure software systems adhere to industry standards for safety, reliability, and performance in space exploration contexts

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or related field
  • A minimum of5years of relevant professional experiencein network engineering, witha strong focus on robotics or space systems
