      • Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) algorithms 
      • Command and telemetry handling 
      • 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. 

    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related degrees       
    • 2+ years writing C++ code for an embedded system or vehicle of some kind (robot, car, drone, spacecraft, etc)

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

    • 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.
