🚀 Lead Flight Software Engineer | Boulder, CO | Onsite | US Citizen Required

We are working with a well-funded, high-growth aerospace company building next-generation mission-focused spacecraft and satellite systems.

With significant recent investment and a leadership team that has scaled multiple successful space ventures, this organisation is now hiring a Lead Flight Software Architect/Engineer to take ownership of spacecraft flight software architecture for advanced satellite missions.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a small, high-calibre engineering team where technical decisions move quickly and impact missions directly.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Architecting and designing end-to-end spacecraft flight software systems

• Leading development across command and data handling, fault management, GNC and payload integration

• Driving hardware-in-the-loop testing campaigns across mission scenarios

• Conducting mission and orbital analysis, including Monte Carlo simulations

• Collaborating closely with systems, avionics and payload teams

• Mentoring engineers and shaping technical direction

What We’re Looking For:

• 10–15 years of spacecraft flight software experience

• Strong GNC algorithm development and implementation background

• Extensive HITL testing and validation experience

• Mission and orbital analysis expertise

• Proven experience taking software from concept through on-orbit operations

• US Citizenship required

📍 Location: Boulder, Colorado

🏢 Onsite role

This is a rare opportunity to architect flight software for cutting-edge satellite missions inside a fast-moving and technically ambitious environment.
