Job Description

Los Gatos, CA / E-Space US – Space Systems Engineering / Full-Time / On-site

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place! At E-Space, we’re focused on bridging Earth and space with the world’s most sustainable low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. We’re a team of bold thinkers, ambitious leaders and dynamic doers—and we’re disrupting NewSpace by fundamentally changing the design of legacy LEO space systems to deliver entirely new satellite capabilities at a fraction of the cost. We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed—to saving space, to protecting our planet and to turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

What is the role?

Upon your arrival, you will be part of a highly talented/skilled team working towards E-Space’s satellite/spacecraft constellation system architecture including modeling, simulation, and virtualization. You will be contributing to robust system architecture and framework that processes input(s) from a variety of systems, components, databases, and spacecraft sensors and evaluates possible configurations, strategies, and integration of software into the system. As a Software Engineer - Simulation and SW Integration, you will be responsible for software tooling of spacecraft simulation, modeling, and constellation systems, with an emphasis on software architecture and modules.

What you will do

• Architect, implement and integrate complex software components, tools for simulation/modeling, and virtualization of real-time spacecraft systems
• Construct, modify and maintain multi-agent simulation framework(s) for virtual testing and validation
• Modify and maintain existing (real-time) simulation and SW pipeline
• Create robust, well tested and reusable software libraries
• Write drivers to interface with third-party components and coordinate with vendors
• Debug, fix and resolve SW integration-related issues in a timely manner
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams for SW system/module integration

Why you're the right candidate

• You have a Bachelor/Master of Science in Computer Science, EE, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, Robotics or a related field with 4-6+ years' hands-on experience
• You have prior experience working with scaled simulation systems (1000+ nodes), mass applications, SW integration and troubleshooting software integration issues
• You have excellent knowledge of Python, Python libraries, software systems, SW integration and simulation architecture
• You have a practical, creative hands-on approach to applying the theory required to solve different modeling, simulation, tooling, SW and modeling based architectural/design challenges
• You have a passion for product excellence and quality
• You have a strong desire to create high-quality, robust SW, tooling and simulation products
• You have a strong desire to work as an integral part of a highly capable team
• You have excellent communication skills
• You have the desire to work in a fast-paced, production-oriented environment
• You have experience collaborating with other teams to ensure a smooth, robust implementation
