Job Description

We are looking for a hands-on Software Engineer with strong experience in hardware/software integration and system-level testing to design and operate a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) integration and test facility for an advanced optical space payload. This is not a pure software role — you will work directly with real, flight-like hardware in a lab environment, building tools and infrastructure to validate system behavior, performance, and reliability. 🚀

Your Role

You will be at the heart of payload integration, developing software that interacts with real hardware to enable end-to-end system validation.

• Design and develop software for a HW/SW integration test facility (HIL environment)
• Build tools in Python (primary) and C/C++ (secondary) to control and monitor hardware
• Develop and maintain telemetry/telecommand (TM/TC) handling and validation tools
• Create automated test frameworks for integration, regression, and release validation
• Interface with real hardware: sensors, subsystems, and payload components
• Analyze and monitor CAN bus and other hardware communication protocols
• Develop data acquisition, measurement, and visualization tools for high-speed data streams
• Support firmware and FPGA validation (e.g., image updates, functional checks)
• Perform debugging and troubleshooting in a lab environment (hardware-in-the-loop)
• Contribute to test bench setup, system architecture, and integration strategy
• Participate in failure injection and recovery testing
• Produce clear technical documentation for tools and systems

Required qualifications

What We're Looking For

We are specifically looking for engineers who are comfortable working close to hardware, not just writing software.

Must-have experience

• 5–7 years of experience in: Embedded systems, system integration, or hardware/software testing
• Strong proficiency in Python (automation, tooling, scripting)
• Experience working in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or lab environments
• Solid understanding of hardware communication protocols: CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, Ethernet (TCP/UDP)
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across software and hardware boundaries
• Experience with system-level testing, not just unit/software testing

Nice to Have

• Experience in space, aerospace, automotive, robotics, or defense systems
• Familiarity with CAN tools (e.g., Vector) and CANOpen
• Experience with C++ (e.g., for performance tools or GUIs)
• Experience with GUI frameworks (Qt, wxWidgets) or dashboards
• Knowledge of data visualization and time-synchronized data analysis
• Experience validating firmware or FPGA-based systems
• Familiarity with Linux environments and Git workflows
• Understanding of signal processing or control systems
• Exposure to Go is a plus
