About the RoleDo you enjoy developing new products and services? Join us!
Our Software Engineers work in an agile, collective environment. You will
be using your skills and expertise to define, design, develop, test,
certify and improve cutting-edge software products. These cover a very wide
range from advanced mission payloads and electronic systems through highly
integrated aircraft to orbital and space exploration systems. You'll perform
coding, debugging, testing, and troubleshooting of systems and software
throughout our development process. Your technical duties involve the design
and development of new software products throughout the product lifecycle.
Sierra Space's Orbital Mission and Services (OMS) division focuses on
the design, build, and operations of small satellites in support of
commercial services and national security space and offers two work
locations: Louisville, Colorado and Centennial, Colorado.
As a Flight Software Engineer, your primary responsibility will be designing
and developing flight software and algorithms solutions for spacecraft
missions for both civilian and DoD applications. These designs stem from
understanding, analyzing and evaluating satellite and constellation
capabilities, mission concepts, and system requirements. Your work will
ensure we meet customer requirements by making data-driven decisions in
architecting, implementing and testing the design in a testbed prototype and
subsequent delivery of the flight code. Along the way, you will contribute
to analyses of various architectures that include space vehicles,
satellites, sensors, communications, and ground infrastructure;
evolving or creating new approaches based on analysis results. You will also
contribute to evaluating the mission effectiveness of the candidate
approaches, balancing mission objectives against factors such as development

The Software Engineer participates in all portions of the software life cycle
(concept development, requirements definition, design, development,
testing, and deployment) of flight software to support ongoing and future
small satellite programs. This individual must have a strong working knowledge
of object-oriented design using C++ and must have a strong background in
developing flight code on embedded processors. The ideal candidate will have
recent experience with at least one real-time operating system (such as
VxWorks) and be familiar with both asymmetric and symmetric multiprocessing
architectures. The candidate must also be comfortable working in an Agile
Scrum
