Reading Berkshire, United Kingdom NewOrbit Space Full time

This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing space startup company and play a key role in the development of air-breathing electric propulsion technology.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, creative and hard-working embedded software engineer to join our electronics team in the development of our flagship satellite to ultra-low Earth Orbit (ULEO).

Applicants should be able to demonstrate a deep understanding of embedded systems design and development, possess hands-on experience with hardware and software integration, and effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance, reliable solutions for mission-critical aerospace applications.

Operating in ULEO comes with game-changing benefits to most satellite applications; however, it hasn’t been exploited yet, since a propulsion system to counteract drag from air particles present at these altitudes is required. Educational Background: Advanced degree (MEng, MSc, or PhD) in Electronics, Physics, Engineering, or a related field, with a preference for those with a focus on embedded systems or aerospace technology.
Industry Experience: Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in embedded software engineering, with a proven track record in the aerospace, defense, or related industries.
Extensive experience with both digital and analog electronics, especially in the context of embedded systems. Proven experience managing the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) from initial concept through deployment and maintenance, with an emphasis on reliability and safety in mission-critical applications.
Ability to design and implement software drivers based on device datasheets, with strong skills in translating hardware specifications into efficient, reliable software.
Testing and Verification: Experience with unit testing frameworks like GMOCK or other testing tools, and a solid understanding of Test-Driven Design (TDD) principles for embedded systems.
Experience with build systems such as CMake for managing project builds, dependencies, and cross-compilation for embedded targets.

Hands-On Electronics Skills: Strong hands-on experience with electronic build processes, including soldering, wiring, and using tools such as oscilloscopes and multimeters for testing and validation.
Equity and Competitive Salary: NewOrbit offers competitive salaries and company ownership stakes. Dedication and hard work are rewarded with a stake in the business you are helping to build.

If feasible, we would also like to invite you to our facilities in Reading as part of the final interview. Here you will get the chance to meet the rest of our team and tour our laboratories and office spaces.
