You know that NASA mission control room where where a tightly-knit team of headset-wearing operators excitedly awaits telemetry from the latest space probe? That's where you'll work in this position! From its perch on the Berkeley hillside overlooking the San Francisco Bay, the SSL Missions Operations center directly operates over half a dozen NASA spacecraft that are actively conducting peaceful scientific research. We're looking for engineers to develop ground software for satellite testing, operations, and automation. This software takes a variety of forms and is typically involved with routing and monitoring telemetry, generating commands, scheduling downlinks, performing encryption / decryption, and more.

* Expect to work closely with a small team of other highly-engaged engineers while enjoying a significant level of autonomy.

* The work environment isn't corporate or startup; it's an independent research lab in a university setting. The engineering work is both interesting and impactful, and there is great appreciation here for engineers who love their craft.

* SSL is well-funded, primarily through NASA contracts, and has been for many decades.

The Space Sciences Lab is looking for a full-time embedded software engineer to write the instrument flight software for the twin-spacecraft ESCAPDE mission to Mars. If you have experience writing high-quality, reliable software in an embedded context (in C using FreeRTOS, uC/OS-III, VxWorks, RTEMS, etc.), we'd like to hear from you!

About the position:

* The high-level requirements and tentative board design are complete. You'll come up to speed on the requirements and begin the software design, then move on to writing and testing the software. You'll support the software throughout instrument integration, launch, and commissioning.

* There are other flight software developers at SSL you may consult with, but this will be your project. You'll have a high degree of autonomy in this position and will work primarily with the system engineer and project manager.

About the Space Sciences Lab:

* We conduct peaceful scientific research for NASA, NSF, and other funding sources on a variety of platforms including satellites, rockets, high-altitude balloons, and ground stations.

* The work environment isn't corporate or startup; it's an independent research lab in a university setting. The engineering work is both interesting and impactful, and there is great appreciation for engineers who love their craft.

* The work environment is collaborative, supportive, friendly, and exciting!

* Like at startups, generalists do well here and there is flexibility to move between roles. Unlike startups, there is great stability. And a pension.
