What the job involves

• We’re hiring an Embedded Software Engineer to develop the software that controls and operates our ground antenna systems
• This role sits at the intersection of software and electromechanical systems. You will develop software that controls antenna motion, motors, actuators, sensors, and other components, integrate new electrical and mechanical systems into the ground software stack, and work closely with mechanical, electrical, RF, and software engineers to build and operate reliable ground systems
• Develop software that supports the operation and integration of ground antenna systems
• Develop reliable, low-level software for controlling motors, actuators, sensors, and other electromechanical components
• Build and maintain interfaces between software and ground-station systems using low-level communication protocols
• Integrate and test new electrical and mechanical systems with the antenna software stack
• Troubleshoot software and electromechanical behavior across integrated systems
• Develop automated tests and tools to validate antenna control software and system performance
• Work closely with mechanical, electrical, RF, and software engineers to bring new ground-station capabilities into operation
• Support the deployment and reliable operation of ground antenna systems in the field
