## Description

We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to develop low-level software that directly interfaces with hardware across spacecraft subsystems and supporting electronics.

\n

This role is well-suited for an engineer with solid foundational experience who can operate independently on day-to-day tasks, while continuing to grow in system design and large-scale integration efforts with guidance from senior engineers.

\n

Candidate will be expected to deliver working software quickly, contribute to hardware bring-up and debugging, and build a deeper understanding of how individual components interact within larger systems. This role is primarily on-site at our Littleton, Colorado headquarters or at our facility in San Jose, California, with limited remote work flexibility.
