Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # multidisciplined Software Integration Engineer - HIL - **Company:** STOKE Space Technologies - **Location:** Kent, United States - **Salary:** $98,805.0 - $148,155.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Systems Engineering, Configuration Management, Communications Protocols, Computer Engineering, System Configuration, Linux, Hardware Design, Subnetting, Routing, Software Configuration Management, Software Engineering, Systems Integration, TCP/IP, Information Technology - **Published:** September 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/software-integration-engineer-hil-stoke-space-technologies-7880560 ## About the Role * 1+ years of professional experience in software development, hardware integration, or systems engineering * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field * Proficient in software-based configuration management and modern software operations * Hands-on experience with physical hardware integration, test equipment, and rack setup * Experience managing and tracking a fleet of hardware deployments across multiple test and operational environments * Networking foundation, including TCP/IP, routing, subnetting, and configuring managed switches * Demonstrated ability to write software in systems languages, particularly Rust, within a Linux environment * Strong systems-thinking approach with the ability to troubleshoot complex electromechanical anomalies from the software layer down to the physical hardware, * Experience with autonomous systems * Experience in technical project management or leading cross-functional engineering initiatives * Prior experience building and operating HIL test environments or executing avionics checkouts for aerospace or autonomous vehicles * Familiarity with hardware communication protocols (CAN, RS422/485, LVDS), PLCs, and data acquisition (DAQ) systems * Experience reading, understanding, and creating technical documentation, system diagrams, and/or electrical schematics ## Description Reusable launch systems are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. We are looking for a multidisciplined Software Integration Engineer - HIL to join our software integration team. This role is the translation layer between our Vehicle Software team, the rest of the physical vehicle (avionics, engines, fluids, etc.), and our vehicle operators. You won't just be writing software and managing configurations - you'll be hands-on bringing hardware to life. One day you might be writing scripts to manage fleet configurations, and the next you will be physically building out HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) racks or designing the architecture for a new checkout cart to get Nova to the pad. If you enjoy the continuum from physical hardware state to the software stack that controls it and interfacing with the teams that build both, this is the role for you. As we push aggressively toward the first launch of Nova, our 100% reusable rocket, you will be joining a fast-paced, hardware-rich environment where extreme ownership is expected, rapid iteration is a daily reality, and your work directly impacts our mission to achieve daily space flight. Responsibilities * Own the lifecycle and software configuration of our HIL and ground support equipment (GSE) to ensure seamless integration across our unified Vehicle Software stack * Develop automated systems to track hardware deployments and dynamically generate standardized software configurations across the fleet * Partner with hardware teams to design, build, and integrate GSE racks and checkout carts for test and launch operations * Write software that interfaces directly with physical ground infrastructure, including automating networks, ground computers, DAQs, and power supplies * Act as the technical bridge between software and hardware disciplines, executing hands-on checkouts and troubleshooting anomalies to get Nova to the pad * Support hardware teams and help the Vehicle Software team prioritize feature requests based on their needs ## Related Videos - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Creating a routing app with Google Maps API from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/831-creating-a-routing-app-with-google-maps-api-from-scratch) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Turning Container security up to 11 with Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/718-turning-container-security-up-to-11-with-capabilities) - [A Technical Introduction to Bitcoin's 2nd Layer- The Lightning Network](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/15-a-technical-introduction-to-bitcoin-s-2nd-layer-the-lightning-network) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs)
