Software Architect

Experteer Overview As Software Architect, you define and realize robust, real-time flight software architectures for autonomous space vehicles. You provide technical leadership across the software lifecycle from requirements through release, collaborating with cross-functional teams to meet safety-critical standards. You drive verification, validation (including HIL), and agile project management to deliver reliable, maintainable embedded solutions. This hands-on role shapes mission-critical software and documentation in a fast-paced, aerospace context. Compensation / Benefits * Define flight software architectures for real-time, safety-critical systems * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to elicit and define requirements and designs * Lead verification to ensure compliance with safety-critical standards * Oversee development of fault-tolerant flight software for autonomous vehicles * Guide design, implementation, and integration of real-time embedded components * Oversee unit testing and quality assurance of software components * Lead validation using Hardware-in-the-Loop environments * Drive release of real-time embedded software aligned with mission requirements * Contribute to and maintain technical documentation (architecture, design, verification plans) * Communicate progress, risks, and issues to stakeholders and leadership * Implement and maintain agile project management methodologies * Provide technical leadership and mentorship without direct people management Tasks * Experience in mission-critical or safety-critical software development * Proven ability to define and implement embedded/flight software architectures * Strong background in real-time embedded systems architecture and integration * Hands-on experience with flight control systems or aerospace/spacecraft software * Expert-level C and C++ for embedded/real-time development * Experience with real-time operating systems in embedded environments * Proven end-to-end software development experience (requirements through verification) * Ability to lead verification and ensure compliance with safety standards * Strong communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences * Experience applying agile methodologies in software projects Key requirements * Medical, dental & vision * 401(k) plan with pre-tax and Roth options * Life Insurance * Short and long-term disability * Health Spending Account (HSA) * Paid time off / leave
