Staff Software Engineer – Payload

Who we are: 

EOI Space is developing and deploying a network of satellites in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) to provide ultra-high-resolution Earth imagery.  We aim to deliver timely and actionable data for commercial and defense applications. 

We are on our way to achieving many industry firsts. This demands an ambitious team that thrives on challenges, takes ownership, and collaborates deeply. EOI Space is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to develop systems and applications for managing a High-Performance Computing cluster in the payload subsystem. On-orbit processing of image data is a critical facet of our mission and spacecraft design, and this key role will be focused on building robust infrastructure to enable continued evolution of on-board capabilities.

What you will do: 

• Coordinate, code, and lead implementation of cluster management and workload coordination systems and tools to manage the HPC
• Work hand in hand with Security, Export Compliance, and DevOps/Platform engineering to ensure we can deploy and maintain test, qualification, and flight–level updates
• Operate in a lean startup environment, maintaining a laser focus on the balance between what we need today and the things we are excited to add and enhance tomorrow
• Partner closely with the Image Science team to build world-class onboard image processing capabilities, translating algorithm requirements into efficient, deployable solutions on the HPC cluster
  
  

Responsibilities:

• Develop and deploy software to bench, rack, and flight versions of the payload processing system
• Support integration of the Payload subsystem with bus Flight Software and RF communications systems
• Support testing and qualification campaigns as well as on-orbit updates
•  Optimize for space – select and apply lightweight but modern OSS frameworks and tools, applied in a bandwidth-conscious way to support on-orbit updates to any level of the system (OS to applications)
  
  

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field
• High competency with both scripted and compiled/type-checked languages (e.g. Python, C , Go)
• 8 - 12 years professional experience in software engineering
• Containerized workload management (Kubernetes)
• Relevant experience will include OS level programming, containerized cluster management, embedded systems development, hardware acceleration, and a solid understanding of tradeoffs between features and footprint
  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• CUDA programming experience
• Container optimization experience
• Experience building and optimizing scalable distributed image processing workflows
• Experience with aerospace software and development of systems critical applications
  
  

Compensation: 

The salary range for this role is $175,000 - $235,000 per year, depending on previous experience. Pay ranges are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual pay will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: interviews and an assessment of several factors that are unique to each candidate, job-related skills, relevant education and experience, certifications, abilities of the candidate and internal equity. 

Work Location: 

This is an on-site role at EOI Space headquarters in Louisville, CO.
