Embedded Flight Software Engineer (Spacecraft)

EOI Space; Lafayette (CO); On-site; USD 133,000 - 187,000; Full time

Job summary

EOI Space is building a rapid-iterate satelliteflight software team in Lafayette, CO. You will design, implement, and test flight software and firmware that bridges hardware and software for next-generation spacecraft.

You will collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and test engineers to ensure software integrates smoothly with hardware. This hands-on role requires debugging at the register level and contributing across the full software stack.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 4–6 years of embedded software/firmware experience; seniority flexible.
• Strong C and C++ in real-time, resource-constrained environments.
• Willingness to ramp on Yocto Linux, TI C2000 and Verilog FPGA.
• Ability to read schematics/datasheets and debug hardware with JTAG/oscilloscope.
• Clear communicator with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Authorized to work as a U.S. Person.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain embedded Linux software on Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ platforms, including Yocto layers and recipes, BSP and device tree work, kernel drivers, and userspace applications
• Write and test bare-metal firmware for TI C2000 microcontrollers, including real-time control loops, peripheral configuration, and communications interfaces
• Develop and verify FPGA logic in Verilog for Xilinx and Microchip devices, including the interfaces between programmable logic and the processing system
• Bring up new hardware alongside our electrical engineers, including first boot, driver bring-up, and debugging with JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
• Build and improve the tooling that surrounds flight software, including build systems, version control practices, hardware-in-the-loop test benches, and automated regression
• Collaborate with systems, electrical, mechanical, and test engineers to ensure software and hardware come together cleanly
• Lead root cause investigations and system-level troubleshooting in both lab and on-orbit environments
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including interface control documents (ICDs), register maps, software design descriptions, and test plans
• Support integration, environmental test, and launch campaigns, and help operate the software you wrote once it is on orbit
