Senior Software Engineer, Embedded

Relativity Space is revolutionizing the aerospace industry with their ambitious goals of building the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and becoming America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Their ultimate vision extends to creating humanity's industrial base on Mars, starting with their work here on Earth designing and building rockets for customer payload delivery to orbit.

The Vehicle Software team plays a crucial role in this mission, being responsible for all Avionics software systems on their rockets. This senior-level position focuses on embedded software development for mission-critical systems, requiring expertise in C++ programming for microcontrollers and real-time operating systems. The role involves working with low-level hardware interfaces, implementing communication protocols, and ensuring the reliability and safety of rocket control systems.

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Embedded systems team, you'll be at the intersection of software and hardware, developing solutions that directly control and monitor rocket systems. The position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge space technology while collaborating with cross-functional teams of hardware, systems, and test engineers throughout the product development lifecycle.

The role requires a strong background in embedded systems development, with at least 4 years of experience in C++ programming and RTOS environments. You'll need to be comfortable with microcontroller architectures, debugging complex systems, and working with various hardware interfaces. The position offers competitive compensation ($165,000 - $211,000) and benefits, including learning opportunities and parental leave.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced embedded systems engineer who wants to contribute to the future of space exploration and manufacturing while working with state-of-the-art technology in a dynamic, mission-driven environment. The role combines technical challenges with the excitement of working on actual rocket systems, making it a unique opportunity in the aerospace industry.
