Junior Ground Segment Software Engineer

We are looking for a software engineer at the start of their career who wants to build the systems through which satellites are planned, commanded and monitored.

The role

You join the team that builds our ground segment: the software through which our satellites are planned, commanded, monitored and maintained. You start on well-defined components under the guidance of a senior engineer and take on more as you learn the domain. The work is Python on the back end, React or Vue on the front end, running on Linux and in containers.

The domain is space, but the craft is software. We do not expect you to arrive knowing spacecraft operations. We expect you to write clean, tested, maintainable code and to learn the domain from the people around you. You work under the ground software architect, alongside our senior ground software engineers, our ICT and DevSecOps engineer, and our security officer.

What you will do

• Build and test features in the ground segment software: mission planning, monitoring and control, and the interfaces to the ground stations and to the customer’s systems.
• Write the automated tests for what you build, and keep them running in the pipeline.
• Build and maintain the operator-facing front ends in React or Vue, working from what operations actually needs and not from a specification alone.
• Develop and debug on Linux, and package what you build to run in containers.
• Work on the REST APIs and the event-driven interfaces between our components and with external systems.
• Take part in code review, both as author and as reviewer.
• Investigate and fix defect...
