Impulse Space

Build embedded software running on custom avionics hardware for spacecraft flight, ground testing, and manufacturing. The role spans low-level drivers, control algorithms, hardware interfaces, and rigorous flight-ready code.

Ensure the quality, verification, and release readiness of mission-critical flight and ground software supporting space missions from low Earth orbit to Mars. You will define testing and development processes, manage quality tools, and monitor software compliance and metrics.

Lead the design, development, integration, and operation of high-reliability flight software for agile spacecraft and responsive space missions. The role combines hands-on embedded software architecture with technical leadership, mission operations support, and mentorship.

Design and maintain embedded firmware for spacecraft camera systems, including low-level drivers, image-sensor integration, and real-time data capture. Collaborate across avionics, flight software, GNC, and perception teams to validate reliable imaging hardware in ground and flight environments.

Design and debug comprehensive tests that validate spacecraft flight software in simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments. This senior role focuses on embedded software integration, regression testing, and realistic in-orbit operational scenarios.

Own the design, testing, and delivery of embedded RF software for spacecraft missions ranging from low Earth orbit to Mars. This staff-level role combines embedded C/C++ development, digital signal processing, RF system control, and hands-on laboratory validation.

Develop safety-critical embedded firmware and real-time control systems for actuators across launch vehicles and spacecraft. The role combines closed-loop controls, electromechanical interfaces, fault-tolerant state machines, and hands-on testing in demanding aerospace environments.

Impulse is hiring a Flight Software Engineer to build and integrate high-reliability, real-time software for spacecraft and in-space transportation. The role spans GNC, autonomy, fault management, mission operations, and time-critical vehicle control.
