About Spacebackend
Spacebackend revolutionizes system integration in the aerospace industry through AI-driven interoperability across various hardware components. Our product Lynapse streamlines the entire satellite integration workflow by enabling modular integration across payloads, components, and subsystems. The Lynapse core technology transforms hardware specifications into digital twins and automatically generates, tests, and validates hardware-agnostic, OS-agnostic on-board satellite middleware software. Lynapse is a web-based collaborative modeling and design tool for mission-critical projects, allowing teams to create, test, validate, and simulate data interfaces for dozens or hundreds of hardware components composing satellites, spacecraft, or lunar landers.
Role Overview
As Lead Embedded Software, you will architect, implement and maintain end-to-end solutions and guide a multidisciplinary team, mostly embedded software engineers, to deliver our integrated platform. You’ll spend 80% of your time hands-on coding in C/C++/Python/C# and 20% managing, mentoring, roadmap planning, and coordinating R&D across product phases.
What You’ll Do
We are seeking an innovative engineer with the following qualities:
