Flight Software Engineer (Platform)

Today, everything we send to space is constrained by what fits inside a rocket fairing. That's a fundamental bottleneck to building more capable spacecraft. Rendezvous Robotics is solving this problem with electromagnetic self-assembling tiles: modular spacecraft components that rendezvous, dock, and latch to assemble bigger and more powerful spacecraft than anything that can be folded to fit into a rocket.

We're a small team based in Golden, Colorado, executing on a clear path from flight demonstration to our first operational systems. Our work spans hardware, software, and systems engineering. We are looking for the best people in the world who want to build the next generation of advanced spacecraft.

Responsibilities & Ownership

• The flight software platform the rest of the stack runs on: the component framework, real-time scheduling, and the integration that wires subsystems together
• Hardware abstraction layers that enable board agnostic software development
• The real-time Linux our vehicles boot: image build pipelines, provisioning, device identity, process supervision, and the health and update services
• Firmware close to the hardware: determini
