Funded by a mix of government R&D organizations and private funding, Specter is expanding its team in preparation for flight testing and full-scale production.

Role Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain embedded software for custom flight avionics and ground support systems.
  • Define software architecture, interfaces, and implementation approaches for assigned systems.
  • Develop hardware drivers and communication interfaces for custom sensing and control hardware.
  • Collaborate with GNC engineers to implement and validate flight control and navigation algorithms.
  • Develop microcontroller softwareon bare metal and real-time operating systems such as QNX, VxWorks, or FreeRTOS.
  • Integrate new sensors, actuators, communications interfaces, and flight capabilities into vehicle software.
  • Develop hardware in the loop and software in the loop test systems.
  • Lead assigned software through requirements, implementation, integration, testing, and documentation.
  • Support vehicle integration, ground testing, flight testing, and post-test analysis.
  • Mentor less experienced engineers and contribute to code reviews, technical meetings, and design discussions.
