Job Technologien
Deine Rolle im Team
- You will join the constellr Mission & Space Segment team, playing a key role in shaping the onboard software that powers our satellite constellation across its full lifecycle - from early design through to in-orbit operations.
- This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will help define how our satellites compute, behave, and evolve in space.
- Your work will directly influence the reliability, performance, and long-term success of constellr's mission.
- You'll collaborate closely across the business - working day-to-day with internal engineering teams, Product Assurance, Project Management, and Operations, as well as external suppliers.
- Together, you will help turn mission concepts into robust, flight-ready software systems.
- In addition to software development, you will contribute to system-level design decisions, support procurement and supplier technical alignment, and help ensure our onboard software is continuously validated, improved, and ready for operation in orbit.
- Design, develop, test, and maintain onboard flight software in line with product assurance and safety standards.
- Work with stakeholders to define, refine, and manage software requirements across all onboard systems.
- Contribute to the design of onboard software architecture, including support for lab-based and in-orbit operational models.
- Help define and implement system-level fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) strategies within onboard software.
- Support planning and coordination of new software features and upgrades, working closely with external suppliers.
- Ensure strong configuration management practices across all onboard software components.
- Define verification strategies and testing approaches to ensure robust and reliable flight software.
- Take part in verification and validation activities for onboard systems and flight software.
- Ensure software - both internally developed and supplier-delivered - meets defined requirements and quality standards.
- Support anomaly resolution and non-conformance investigations related to onboard software.
- Help define and improve the in-orbit software update process for satellites in the constellr fleet.
- Contribute to integration and testing activities using Flatsat and other ground-based environments.
