    • Mission sequencing, autonomy, and fault management
    • Closed-loop control of propulsion, attitude control, and other time-critical systems
  • Implement features for Impulse's real-time flight software framework to meet deterministic performance requirements in space environments.
  • Develop detection and mitigation algorithms for anomalies such as sensor failures, actuator malfunctions, or radiation-induced faults.
  • Direct and participate in code reviews, ensuring compliance with software safety, reliability, and maintainability standards.
  • Support mission operations and troubleshoot real-time issues during ground integration, environmental testing, and on-orbit operations.

  • Experience with Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) or with Embedded Linux
  • Experience using version control, test cases, and other software best practices

Preferred Skills and Experience
  • Proven track record delivering flight software for spacecraft- including launch vehicles, OTVs, upper stages, or other in-space propulsion systems.
  • Familiarity with NASA cFS, ROS2, or custom middleware for space applications.
  • 4+ years of demonstrated experience in designing software for deterministic timing and hard real-time constraints.
  • Participation in successful integration, testing, launch, and mission operations of a space vehicle.
