Job Summary
ABOUT THE TEAM
Andurils Space team is at the forefront of advancing national security capabilities in the space domain. Our mission is twofold: 1) develop autonomous satellite systems and space-based platforms and 2) deliver critical ground and orbital software infrastructure at scale. We transform products and capabilities across space command and control (C2) mission management and space operations from early concepts into fully operational systems by partnering closely with specialist engineering operations and production teams. Through our integrated approach we design and deploy space software systems using advanced algorithms distributed architectures and resilient infrastructuredelivering reliable mission-critical capabilities that support operators across orbital and ground-based assets. Space Systems hires software engineers and systems engineers who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfoliofrom satellite operations software to space domain awareness platforms. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous space systems and ground software products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environments supporting the DOD and IC in defending our national interests in space.
ABOUT THE JOB
As a Software Engineer on the Space Business Line you will own the architecture and deployment of software solutions that support customer missions for space operations and mission management.
