Job Description:

We seek a mid level Flight Software Engineer to help develop and maintain ICEYE’s on-board software stack. You will work on core spacecraft services—such as data downlink, imaging, propulsion, and attitude control—or on the application layer that enables communication between them. This role is ideal for an engineer with a strong software foundation who wants to grow by working on real missions and gaining increasing ownership of complex systems.

Job Responsibility:

  • Develop C/C++ and Python software for spacecraft power systems
  • Develop RTOS firmware for space-grade power system micro controllers
  • Contribute to automated testing with hardware in-loop, CI workflows, and peer code reviews
  • Collaborate with senior engineers to turn requirements into reliable software components
  • Support integration, troubleshooting, and debugging the full stack of spacecraft power systems

Requirements:

  • Strong skills in C/C++ and Linux-based development and micro controller tooling
  • Ability to contribute to software that interacts with real hardware
  • Collaborative, eager to learn, and effective in English communication

Nice to have:

  • Python and Bash for scripting and testing
  • Basic electronics and lab tools
  • Exposure to CI/CD and automation
  • Interest in using LLMs to improve development workflows
What we offer:
  • Occupational healthcare, occupational, and accident insurance
  • A yearly benefit budget to spend as you wish (i.e. on sport, transport, bike benefit, wellness, lunch, etc.)
  • Phone subscription with iPhone of choice
  • Relocation support (i.e. flight tickets, accommodation, relocation agency support)
  • Time for self-development, research, training, conferences, or certification schemes
  • Inspiring and collaborating offices and silent workspaces enable you to focus
  • A wide variety of the best coffee, tea, snacks, and sweets to accompany your daily space mission
