Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system—with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices—we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

What is this role:

MUST have graduated and have hands-on experience with robotic vehicle project outside of collage
Must be local or willing to relocate
Develop, maintain and test flight-code in multiple simulation environment
Develop and maintain E-Space satellite simulations
Develop tools for analyzing simulation and hardware data in real-time and in post-processing settings
Interface with software engineers to integrate and test controls and estimation software
Own all aspects of controls software development, including autocoding, testing, hardware-in-theloop simulations, mission integration and operation
Improve and follow software configuration management and code development and integration processes
Interact cross-functionally with other subsystem engineers, providing support as needed

Knowledge of PID, optimal controllers and state estimation
Knowledge of 6DOF simulations
Knowledge of spacecraft dynamics and orbital mechanics
Knowledge of software testing procedures and test case design, including experience in designing fault tolerant software
Experience with Git and Linux

Bonus Points:

Hands-on experience with building and debugging complex software
Experience with spacecraft GNC hardware/software, including design and testing processes
Experience in writing autonomy software for space/aerial/ground vehicles
Experience developing visualization and graphics engines
Experience with machine learning and artificial intelligence
