About the role

As a Founding Flight Software Engineer, you will write and test flight software for our onboard operator stack. You will run software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop testing against flight-representative targets, and integrate our stack with the flight software platforms our customers already fly. Expect to work across the boundary between our software and customer avionics, and to have direct influence on the architecture while it is still being set.

About Orca Aerospace

Orca Aerospace builds onboard autonomy software for spacecraft. We put an LLM onboard a spacecraft to holistically decide "what" to do like a human operator would, while a deterministic flight stack decides "how" to do it.
