Software Engineer - Yocto/Linux

We are seeking an experienced Embedded Linux/Software Engineer to join our Platform team (folks looking after the spacecraft). The successful candidate will play a crucial role in developing software for our satellite systems, contributing to the expansion and enhancement of our space-based data collection capabilities. Ideal candidates will embrace the commercialization of nanosatellite systems and adapt to low-cost, fast-paced systems design, development, and implementation methodologies that set Spire apart from our competition. In this fast-paced environment, the design to launch cycle is measured in weeks and months, not years!

What You'll Do as a Embedded Linux/Software Engineer:

Maintain and develop daemons that interface with embedded systems using low-level protocols and higher-level protocols for business logic

Implement communication interfaces between embedded systems and higher-level processes

Integrate C libraries for specific hardware interfaces

Contribute to the design and implementation of fault-tolerant systems

Collaborate closely with the Electrical Engineering team to ensure optimal software-hardware integration

Spin up new designs and maintain existing products with Yocto - focused on Xilinx MPSoC systems, but we also support number of other systems

Key Skills:

C/C++, Bash and Python

Proficiency working with the Yocto framework: (for application design and base OS modifications including kernel modules)

Knowledge of a Linux-based development environment (Ubuntu)

Experience with real-time communication protocols (low level: CAN/UART/SPI/I2C)

Experience with inter-process communication protocols (higher level mostly IP based)

Understanding of electronics and ability to communicate effectively with hardware engineers (especially for board bring
