We aim to deliver timely and actionable data for commercial and defense applications.We're working toward a number of industry firsts, and that takes a team willing to dig into hard problems, get hands-on, and work well together. EOI Space is looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to build the software and firmware that runs on our satellites: embedded Linux on the payload processor, bare-metal control loops on the microcontrollers, and the FPGA logic underneath. We care more about how you think and how fast you learn than whether you've already used our exact toolchain, so deep experience across this stack is great, but solid embedded fundamentals and a real willingness to learn the rest will get our attention too.What You Will DoYou will design, write, and test the flight software and firmware for our next-generation spacecraft. You will work at the boundary between hardware and software: sitting with electrical engineers during board bring-up, reading schematics and datasheets, and tracing problems down to the register level when needed. You will collaborate across systems engineering, manufacturing, and test to deliver flight-ready software for satellite integration. This is a hands-on role in a lean and collaborative environment, and you will own meaningful pieces of the vehicle early.ResponsibilitiesDevelop and maintain embedded Linux software on Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ platforms, including Yocto layers and recipes, BSP and device tree work, kernel drivers, and userspace applicationsWrite and test bare-metal firmware for TI C2000 microcontrollers, including real-time control loops, peripheral configuration, and communications interfacesDevelop and verify FPGA logic in Verilog for Xilinx and Microchip devices, including the interfaces between programmable logic and the processing systemBring up new hardware alongside our electrical engineers, including first boot, driver bring-up, and debugging with JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzersBuild and improve the tooling that surrounds flight software, including build systems, version control practices, hardware-in-the-loop test benches, and automated regressionCollaborate with systems, electrical, mechanical, and test engineers to ensure software and hardware come together cleanlyLead root cause investigations and system-level troubleshooting in both lab and on-orbit environmentsDevelop and maintain technical documentation, including interface control documents (ICDs), register maps, software design descriptions, and test plansSupport integration, environmental test, and launch campaigns, and help operate the software you wrote once it is on orbitRequired QualificationsBachelor's Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent hands-on experience 4-6 years of hands-on embedded software or firmware development. A sharp engineer earlier in their career who learns quickly will be considered alongside candidates with a decade of experienceStrong C, and C++ where it fits, in resource-constrained and real-time environmentsComfort working directly against hardware: reading schematics and datasheets, using JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers, and reasoning about what the silicon is actually doingExperience with, or a demonstrated ability and willingness to ramp quickly on, one or more of: Zynq UltraScale+ with Yocto-based embedded Linux, TI C2000 bare-metal firmware, and Verilog FPGA development for Xilinx and Microchip partsComfortable with ambiguity. Much of this work is new, specifications are incomplete, and the right answer is often found by building something and testing itStrong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to convey technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholdersCollaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced, agile environmentAuthorized to work as a U.S. PersonPreferred QualificationsZephyr RTOS, or other RTOS experience such as FreeRTOSOther microcontroller families, including ARM Cortex-M, STM32, MSP430, or similarYocto and OpenEmbedded layer authoring, U-Boot, and Linux device driver developmentEmbedded communications and high-speed interfaces: AXI, SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, SpaceWireReal-time power or motor control firmware, including PWM generation, ADC sequencing, and closed-loop controlSpace, avionics, or other high-reliability software experience, including fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) and radiation-tolerant design practicesPython for test automation, ground software, and data analysisTiming analysis, constraint writing, and simulation for FPGA designsCompensationThe salary range for this role is $133,000-$187,000 per year, depending on previous experience.
