## About the Role

Do you have experience in Verilog?, * Background in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

 * 7+ years of hands-on embedded development experience in domains such as aerospace, robotics, real-time control systems, or low-level systems software.
 * Expertise in C,proficiency in Python, and familiarity with Rust.
 * Proficiency with git source control.
 * Practical debugging skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, hardware debuggers, and related tools.
 * Solid understanding of ARM microprocessor architecture.
 * Commitment to software quality through developer-led automated testing practices.
 * Collaborative mindset with the ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts across teams and roles.
 * Proven experience with embedded communication protocols and buses such as CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, and/or PCIe.
 * Excellent knowledge of RTOS internals.
 * Proficiency working in a Linux development environment and with the GCC toolchain.
 * Experience with Xilinx Zynq, Vivado, or comparable FPGA/SoC vendor tooling.
 * Ability to work with hardware schematics and board-level documentation to define pin constraints, configure peripherals, and generate board-support or software handoff artifacts.
 * Comfortable with automation and scripting, particularly Tcl and Python.
 * Basic familiarity with VHDL or Verilog is helpful, but this is not primarily an RTL design role.

## Description

* Implement low-level drivers for ARM-based MCUs, SoCs, and external chips in real-time operating system and bare-metal environments.
 * Implement software for satellite subsystems such as batteries, sun sensors, reaction wheels, and related hardware.
 * Collaborate closely with the hardware and electronics teams to ensure smooth board handover, bring-up, debugging, and validation.
 * Interface with the Mission and Payload Software teams to provide low-level platform features such as communication interfaces, device drivers, non-volatile memory access, and board-support functionality.
 * Assist with on-orbit flight operations.
