Job Description

About the opportunity

Our client is a well-funded Abu Dhabi space technology company building a spaceborne radar payload. They need a senior embedded software engineer to write the flight software that runs the instrument: reliable, real-time code that has to work in orbit, where nobody can walk over and reboot it.

You will work shoulder to shoulder with the FPGA, RF, hardware and test teams, and you will own the software from architecture through to integration with the payload electronics. You will also mentor junior engineers.
