Software Engineer

Who you are

• 3D printing experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology!
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or computer engineering from an ABET accredited university or college
• Internship or engineering club experience such as FSAE, Baja SAE, solar car, rocket club, robotics club, hackathons, or similar programming with C/C++
• Advanced degree (Master's, PhD) in computer science or computer engineering
• Experience interfacing with microcontrollers, FPGA, or GPU computing hardware
• Experience developing embedded or real-time software systems
• Experience writing software for industrial automation systems, rockets, spacecrafts, robotics, or related hardware that operates with the physical world
• Experience working in a Linux or RTOS environment
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and iterating quickly (comfortable building the plane as we fly it)
• Strong communicator who collaborates across disciplines and proactively seeks support when needed
• Willing to take ownership of tasks big and small, with a hands-on, problem-solving mindset
• Strong work ethic with a refuse-to-fail mindset
• Demonstrated indicators of excellence and/or achieving success against adversity (i.e. top academic performance, leadership in engineering clubs, first-generation college student, or other examples of resilience and achievement)
