<p>We are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer (Rust) 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.</p> <p>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!</p> <p>What You'll Do as a Spacecraft Embedded Software Engineer:</p> <ul> <li>Develop daemons in Rust that interface with embedded systems using low- level protocols </li><li>Implement communication interfaces between embedded systems and higher-level processes </li><li>Integrate C code for specific hardware interfaces </li><li>Contribute to the design and implementation of fault-tolerant systems </li><li>Collaborate closely with the Electrical Engineering team to ensure optimal software-hardware integration </li><li>Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for APIs and system architectures </li><li>Contribute to the continuous improvement of our development processes and tools </li></ul> <p>Key Skills:</p> <ul> <li>Proven experience in embedded systems development using Rust </li><li>Knowledge of or adaptability to Linux-based development (Ubuntu) </li><li>Proficiency in integrating C code with Rust projects </li><li>Experience with real-time communication protocols </li><li>Experience with inter-process communication protocols </li><li>Understanding of electronics and ability to communicate effectively with hardware engineers </li><li>Excellent documentation skills </li></ul> <p>Preferred Skills:</p> <ul> <li>Familiarity with safety-critical embedded systems in any industry </li><li>Experience with Yocto for embedded systems </li><li>Knowledge of version control systems, particularly Git and GitHub </li><li>Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines </li><li>Experience with project management tools </li><li>Proficiency in scripting languages like Python and Bash </li><li>Understanding of cybersecurity principles for embedded systems </li><li>Knowledge of telemetry and command systems </li><li>Experience with formal verification methods for critical software components </li><li>Experience in implementing Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) systems for embedded applications </li></ul> <p>Tools and Technologies: Rust, C | Scripting languages (Bash/Python) | Ubuntu (development environment) | Yocto (target environment) | Version control using Git</p> <p>Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office.</p> <p>Access to US export-controlled software and/or technology may be required for this role. If needed, Spire will arrange the necessary licenses-this is not something candidates need to have before applying. #LI-RK1</p>
