You will support the definition, development, integration, and testing of software products that model spacecraft behavior and interface with ground systems to validate mission operations and data workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and maintain simulation software to emulate satellite subsystems and behaviors (SIM).
• Contribute to the architecture and implementation of ground data system software (GDS) for spacecraft command, telemetry processing, and mission data routing.
• Support automated test frameworks and simulation campaigns to validate spacecraft mission readiness.
• Collaborate with systems engineering, hardware, and operations teams to define software requirements and test cases.
• Integrate real-time and non-real-time software components in an operational mission support environment.
• Participate in Agile development cycles and contribute to DevSecOps pipelines for continuous integration and deployment.
  
  

Qualifications

• 5 years of relevant experience.

• Experience with software development in C , Python, or Java.
• Familiarity with Linux/Unix operating systems and shell scripting.
• Experience with object-oriented programming and software lifecycle tools (e.g., Git, Jira, DOORS, Jenkins).
• Ability to read and interpret spacecraft telemetry and command data structures.
  
  

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with satellite ground systems such as command and control, mission planning, and telemetry processing.
• Familiarity with STK (Systems Tool Kit), GMAT (General Mission Analysis Tool), or other mission simulation environments.
• Understanding of CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) protocols and telemetry/telecommand standards.
• Prior work with NASA or NOAA flight/ground systems (e.g., GOES-R, JPSS, Landsat, etc.).
• Experience with Agile software methodologies and CI/CD frameworks.
• Experience with Open Architecture Data Distribution Service (DDS) or message bus middleware (e.g., Kafka, ZeroMQ).
• Knowledge of space vehicle simulators, simulink-based modeling, and closed-loop simulation environments.
