Overview

I'm partnering with a very exciting organisation who are enabling sustainable access and utilisation of the Moon, Mars and beyond.

This company have been building and flying reusable rockets for nearly two decades with the most successful rocket-powered landings in the industry.

Key Duties & Responsibilities:

Design and implementation of robust, highly resilient and fault-tolerant distributed avionics systems
Developing FDIR (Fault Detection, Isolation & Recovery) algorithms
Selecting third-party/open-source software frameworks (RTOS, middleware, bootloaders, C/C++ runtimes) based on system-level and schedule requirements
Selection of peripheral devices and interfaces for processing platforms
Development of drivers and board-support packages (BSP)
Participating in informal and formal system design reviews and fault tolerance analysis/FMECA
Supporting flight operations

Required Skills/Experience:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or similar
Thorough understanding of C and C++
Build tools and infrastructure (Makefiles, shell scripting, compilers, linkers, debuggers, C/C++ runtime libraries, CI tools)
Embedded systems, microcontrollers, and bare-metal programming
Development of real-time software on x86 and ARM architectures
Operating system kernel configuration fundamentals for real-time system behaviour
Detailed understanding of common software design paradigms (message-passing, event-driven, RAII, etc.)
Understanding of considerations when developing fault-tolerant software components such as error-tolerant file systems, communications agents, memory-scrubbing/EDAC
Comms protocols (Ethernet, TCP, UDP, IP, CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, IEEE1588 PTP)

Desired Skills/Experience:

Understanding of basic EE hardware design concepts
Knowledge of analog/mixed-signal systems design
Some experience with PCB design and/or board bring-up from an embedded standpoint
Experience in controls/GNC (implementing state estimation, sensor fusion & similar algorithms)
