<p><span data-contrast="none">In the Space Special Programs team, we build spacecraft and space systems which serve a wide variety of functions in the space architecture. At a time when space superiority can no longer be taken for granted and with space systems proliferating at an incredible rate, the Space Special Programs team provides advanced, mission critical capabilities to our customer base to be able to more effectively operate and survive within this expanding environment with limited personnel. Working across product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success, the Space Special Programs team develops, tests, deploys, and operates new, unique, space capabilities to drive mission success in challenging operational environments.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335557856":16777215,"335559738":0,"335559739":240}"> </span></p>

<h3><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 4">ABOUT THE JOB</span></span></strong></h3>

<p>We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Chantilly, VA. In this role, you will be responsible for implementation of the full lifecycle of flight software, ground test software, ground station software at both embedded and application levels. You will work closely with senior engineers to develop software systems across the full range of embedded, host, communication, data storage, computer vision, FPGA-interfacing, and algorithm implementation tasks. You are expected to be a strong individual contributor on the team. Your work will span capabilities including deeply embedded software design, implementation, and debugging, including data protocols, RF communication, machine learning, computer vision, and implementing control algorithms in a computationally-restricted environment; host side software for user interfaces, equipment interfaces, machine-to-machine communication, data analysis, display, compression and extraction to human-useable forms; and interfacing with existing Command and Control software and databases to integrate the spacecraft systems in a simple fashion. The embedded tasking will also include writing code to operate at the intersection of hardware, FPGA, and software. Additionally, you will contribute to system and mission designs & concepts, and have opportunities to learn from and collaborate with experienced team members.</p>
