Job Description

Embedded Software Engineer – Satellite Technology (California-based Startup)

Location: San Francisco (Hybrid or Remote)

Salary: Up to $180,000

I'm currently supporting a fast-growing startup in California that’s developing cutting-edge satellite technology and looking to hire an Embedded Software Engineer to join their team. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a pioneering space-focused company at the forefront of innovation in aerospace systems.

About the Company

My client is a well-funded startup made up of seasoned engineers and technologists with deep experience in aerospace and satellite systems. They're building next-generation platforms for in-orbit data processing, communication, and control – and they need someone with strong embedded software expertise to help drive product development.

The Role

This is a senior-level position focused on the development of mission-critical embedded software systems for satellite applications. You’ll be involved from concept through to deployment, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to build reliable, high-performance software solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and test embedded software for satellite subsystems
  • Work with C/C++ in a Linux or RTOS environment
  • Develop low-level drivers and support hardware bring-up activities
  • Contribute to system architecture and interface definitions
  • Ensure software reliability and robustness for harsh space environments

What They're Looking For:

  • Minimum 5 years of embedded software development experience
  • Proficient in C/C++ with strong experience in Linux-based or RTOS environments
  • Experience working close to the hardware—bootloaders, board support packages, etc.
  • Familiarity with hardware interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, and CAN
  • Experience in aerospace, satellite, or high-reliability systems is a plus
  • Must be eligible to work in the US (US Citizenship or Green Card required)

What’s on Offer:

  • Salary up to $180,000
  • Standard US benefits (health, dental, vision, PTO, 401(k))
  • Flexible working options – remote-friendly with potential for hybrid in California
  • An opportunity to have a direct impact on the development of groundbreaking space technology

Next Steps

Interviews are being scheduled immediately. If you’re interested in learning more, please get in touch with your resume or reach out for a confidential conversation.
