Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Company Description

GalaxEye aims to shape the future of Satellite Image Acquisition, providing the most meaningful datasets, thus helping businesses and governments make data-driven decisions based on insights from satellite imagery. We will provide Satellite Imagery Datasets and Value-added services to Geospatial Analytics Companies and Infrastructure enterprises. At GalaxEye, we are working to build the best remote sensing satellites and also, we are researching various aspects of remote sensing.

Role Description

The C&DH (Command & Data Handling) team at GalaxEye is responsible for designing and developing the onboard computing and embedded software infrastructure that powers our satellite constellation. The team works across embedded platforms, real-time systems, onboard communications, and flight software, encompassing Bare Metal, RTOS, and Embedded Linux-based development for mission-critical spacecraft operations.
