- Develop software interfaces, messaging, and integrations between flight and mission subsystems

- Analyze test data, troubleshoot system behavior, and support improvements to software and control performance

- Collaborate across software, GNC, avionics, and vehicle engineering teams to validate integrated systems

##### Requirements:

- Pursuing a degree in Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field

- Background in either software development with exposure to GNC/controls, or GNC/controls with experience implementing software

- Experience with C++, C, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar programming and engineering tools

- Familiarity with controls, dynamics, simulation, embedded systems, or hardware/software integration

- Hands-on experience through internships, coursework, research, or technical projects

- Strong understanding of engineering first principles

- Demonstrated ability to work within cross-functional teams

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
