Jobs at Umbra Space

Design, build, and maintain reliable, scalable backend services and APIs that support satellite mission planning, scheduling, command/control, and communications. Own production services, improve resiliency, participate in on-call rotations, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver and operate autonomous satellite operations software with strong observability, testing, and CI/CD practices.

Lead design, analysis, build, and test of spacecraft mechanisms and pointing systems. Own architecture, component selection, motorization and pointing budgets, ICDs, qualification campaigns, and verification testing. Mentor engineers, collaborate with cross-functional teams, troubleshoot hardware issues, and support launch/test activities to ensure flight-proven, manufacturable designs.

The Embedded Systems Engineer will develop firmware for satellite systems, focusing on embedded development, hardware integration, and system validation, working in a cross-functional environment.

Lead and manage a multi-disciplinary Space Systems engineering team responsible for spacecraft design, test, implementation and delivery. Oversee personnel management, scheduling, technical quality, hiring, career development, and cross-functional coordination. Apply traditional and Agile practices to drive program execution, process improvements, and stakeholder reporting for mission-ready satellite systems.

Lead design, implement, and test high-reliability embedded flight software in Rust/C/C++ for spacecraft. Define requirements, architect systems, integrate with hardware, run unit-to-system test campaigns, maintain CI/testing pipelines, document interfaces, mentor engineers, and support system integration and flight qualification.

The Hardware Test Infrastructure Engineer will set up, maintain, and integrate hardware for test environments, collaborating with engineers to ensure system reliability and documentation.

Develop, design, and implement embedded flight and payload software in Rust/C/C++ for spacecraft. Specify requirements, create robust architecture, integrate and test with hardware, lead CI/CD/version control processes, perform unit and system testing, document interfaces, and mentor peers.

The Senior Ground Software Engineer will develop secure ground software systems for satellite operations, focusing on mission scheduling and data processing, collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Lead development and sustainment of spacecraft and payload production lines. Create and document manufacturing procedures, plan prototype builds, train production staff, translate designs into build plans, resolve manufacturing discrepancies, perform root cause analysis, and support product introductions and continuous process improvements for high-reliability space hardware.
