Flight Software Engineer (All Levels)

About the role

As a Flight Software Engineer you will design, develop and test real‑time embedded software for missile systems. You will work closely with guidance‑navigation‑control (GNC), systems and hardware teams to deliver high‑performance, safety‑critical code that operates reliably under extreme conditions.

Key responsibilities

• Design, develop and test real‑time embedded flight software for missile systems.
• Collaborate with GNC engineers, systems engineers and hardware teams to ensure seamless integration.
• Support simulation, hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) and flight testing to validate performance.
• Participate in root‑cause analysis and debugging across software and system interfaces.
• Follow rigorous software lifecycle practices, including configuration management and verification.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
• Open to candidates at any experience level, from early‑career to senior contributors.
• Active or eligible for a Top‑Secret security clearance.

Required skills

• Proficiency in C and C++.
• Experience with real‑time operating systems (RTOS).
• Familiarity with hardware/software integration and real‑time system constraints.
• Experience with simulation and hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) environments.
• Knowledge of FPGA‑based systems and embedded software optimization techniques.
