Job Summary

The Flight Software Engineer at Lynk will be developing flight software applications for commanding and controlling our satellites. This includes developing our satellite command and data handling system software, in addition to supporting software for both its primary (payload) and secondary radio communications functions. The software will initially be tested on the satellite prototype in a lab environment "flatsat" that simulates orbit operations. You will also be responsible for building the telemetry and instrumentation needed to capture data during tests and ensure successful verification and validation.

We build spacecraft fast! So, the ideal candidate enjoys designing, developing, and testing software on rapid timelines. We are looking for engineers who enjoy a challenge and have a track record of creative thinking to solve unconventional problems. This is a small team, so you will work alongside experienced engineers and take ownership of systems early.
