Demonstrate effective teamwork and communication skills, both orally and in writing, when working with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Lead the design, development, and implementation of advanced satellite ground segment software systems to ensure high performance, scalability, and reliability.
Design software with careful consideration for hardware resource constraints typical of embedded systems.
Write and maintain unit tests to validate software functionality and support continuous integration practices.
Work within a scrum/agile framework, participating in ceremonies and contributing to iterative planning and delivery.

Familiarity with routers, switches, and Ethernet-based networking.
Experience using C in addition to C++ for embedded or systems programming.
Knowledge of standard C++ libraries such as the Standard Template Library (STL).
Ability to work effectively within multi-disciplinary engineering teams without direct supervisory responsibilities.
Strong oral and written communication skills.
Ability to write and maintain unit tests to ensure software quality.
Detail-oriented approach with a strong commitment to producing high-quality software deliverables.
Ability to design and implement software that accounts for hardware resource constraints in embedded environments.
