Design, implement, and verify FPGA firmware (VHDL) for spacecraft avionics using Xilinx and Microchip devices. Define requirements, develop verification (unit to system), produce documentation, and support test campaigns and on-orbit operations while collaborating across disciplines.

The Software Engineer II will develop full-stack software solutions for Rocket Lab's Manufacturing Execution System, working with various teams to improve operational efficiency.

The Senior Syteline Developer will customize and develop the ERP system, integrate applications, and ensure data integrity and security, while providing support to stakeholders.

Operate and maintain a growing fleet of satellites across mission phases (commissioning, orbit raising, routine ops, re-entry). Develop and test ground and flight software, FDIR/telemetry, automation, CI testing, and validation with simulation and HIL/SIL. Provide requirements V&V, support AIT and cross-site program coordination, and participate in on-call/shift operations to meet mission SLAs.

Design, build, and maintain core data platforms, services, and tools to enable operational data access. Develop scalable backend systems, data pipelines, REST APIs, and automation; deploy and support services in production while collaborating across engineering, testing, production, and mission operations.

Lead chief software engineer for a major constellation program: define end-to-end flight and ground software architecture, develop embedded flight software and hardware drivers, integrate and test with CI and hardware-in-the-loop, mentor teams, support on-orbit operations, and ensure mission-critical reliability and security. Requires active TS/SCI and extensive aerospace/defense experience.

Lead architecture, design, and delivery of flight and ground software for a major satellite constellation. Develop embedded RTOS applications and hardware drivers, integrate and validate software with hardware (ICDs, DIO/AIO), support on-orbit operations, mentor teams, and ensure reliability, security, and mission success for defense and aerospace programs.

Design and build AI-driven quality automation for CI/CD pipelines: create AI agents, automated test suites, dashboards, alerts, predictive analytics, and collaborate with DevSecOps to improve software security, reliability, and performance for mission-critical space systems.

Lead development of spacecraft GNC/ADCS across concept, algorithm and flight‑software design, subsystem selection, integration, and test. Mentor a GNC team, perform hardware‑in‑the‑loop and Monte Carlo simulation, define fault detection/response, integrate flight and simulation tools, coordinate schedules and milestones, and interface with customers and cross‑functional teams to ensure mission success.

Lead GNC and ADCS development for spacecraft, mentor a team, design flight software, oversee integration/testing, and coordinate with various engineering teams.
