Jobbeschreibung

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Software Engineer to join our mission-driven team developing Nyx. In this role, you will take full ownership of key components of the mission tooling software stack. You will be designing, implementing, and testing mission-support systems that enable safe, autonomous, and reliable spaceflight operations, such as tools related to deployment, configuration data management, autocoding, and simulation.

You will work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where cross-functional integration is essential. Your products will be used by flight software engineers, GNC engineers, system and mission operations engineers, and ground software teams. Expect to write robust and well-tested Python code, interface directly with users across the technical departments, and take ownership for tools you develop.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, implement, and own core software tools for mission-related automation, testing, simulation, deployment, and configuration data management.

  • Listen to user needs across engineering and software departments.

  • Develop in modern Python, following best practices in software architecture, testing, and performance optimization.

  • Interface with C++ flight software, ground software, system engineering tools, and maintain related CI/CD configurations.

  • Build and maintain test orchestration and simulation management tools to validate software behavior across mission phases.

  • Collaborate closely with GNC, avionics, system engineering, and mission operations teams to ensure efficient and user-driven tool design.

  • Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and flight readiness assessments.

What we would love to see from you
  • Strong proficiency in Python 3.x and at least one system programming language.

  • Solid understanding of RESTful API design and development.

  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex technical problems and drive them to resolution.

  • Familiarity with software testing methodologies and simulation tools.

  • Excellent cross-disciplinary communication and collaboration skills.

  • Focus on detail, quality, and testing.

  • Experience with CI/CD systems and build systems.

  • Familiarity with containerization tools and orchestration systems.

Nice to have
  • Experience with Bazel.

  • Good understanding of math & physics.

  • Experience with asynchronous programming.

  • Familiarity with infrastructure as code.
