Job summary

Baryonic Space is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer in Ankara, Turkey to design, implement, and validate spacecraft flight and payload software. You will work across bare‑metal, RTOS, and Linux environments, enabling robust, testable, and maintainable embedded solutions for space systems.

The role emphasizes low‑level development, hardware interaction, debugging, and comprehensive verification workflows, with collaboration across hardware, FPGA, RF, and systems teams.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 2+ years of professional embedded software development experience in C/C++.
• Strong experience with embedded Linux environments and Linux-based development workflows.
• Experience with CMake, Make, and build system design.
• Proficiency with gdb and valgrind for debugging and performance analysis.
• Experience with Git and CI/CD workflows.
• Experience performing unit, integration, and system-level testing, including HIL/SIL environments.
• Hands-on experience working with hardware and performing board bring-up and debugging.
• Understanding of digital communication protocols (RS232/485/422, I2C, SPI, CAN, Ethernet).
• Experience with ARM-based embedded systems and microcontroller platforms.
• Working knowledge of bootloaders and embedded boot sequences (FSBL, U-Boot).
• Familiarity with DMA-based data movement and memory architecture in embedded systems.
• Proficiency in Python for scripting and test automation.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain embedded software in C/C++ for spacecraft flight and payload subsystems.
• Support payload software development for SDR-based systems using libiio and Linux userspace frameworks.
• Implement device drivers, middleware, and application-layer logic across bare-metal, RTOS, and Linux environments.
• Design and maintain boot flows including FSBL, U-Boot, and OS initialization sequences.
• Implement high-throughput data pipelines and manage DMA-based transfers between programmable logic and processor subsystems.
• Lead and support HIL, SIL, unit, and integration testing workflows.
• Develop automated test frameworks using pytest and scripting in Python.
• Perform system bring-up, debugging, and integration with spacecraft hardware and payload electronics.
• Support verification and validation campaigns across development and qualification phases.
• Collaborate with hardware, FPGA, and algorithm teams to ensure reliable end-to-end system behavior.
• Produce and maintain high-quality technical documentation, including design documents, ICDs, test procedures, and troubleshooting guides.
