* Town Halls, Celebration Calls, and Company-wide events to stay connected and engaged.

* We’re a certified Great Place to Work®, seven years in a row!

We're on the hunt for a top-tier Embedded Software Engineer. Your focus will be on software development and maintenance required for both space and ground-based assets for a growing fleet of spacecraft. You'll be relied upon for input and decisions that will directly impact design and operation.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, develop, and maintain reliable, high-quality embedded software for both spacecraft and ground-based systems supporting a growing fleet of satellites

Design and implement secure communications capabilities, including encryption, authentication, and key exchange for next-generation data links

Build and maintain low-level software components including device drivers, kernel modules, hardware interfaces, and platform services

Develop automated tests, validation tools, and technical documentation to support robust software delivery and long-term maintainability

Participate in software architecture discussions, design reviews, and code reviews to ensure software quality and system reliability

Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to define system requirements, debug complex issues, and evolve system architecture

Identify performance gaps, reliability risks, and architectural shortcomings in existing systems, and drive improvements across the software stack

Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to junior engineers while contributing to engineering best practices and development standards

Required Skills & Qualifications:

6+ years of experience developing embedded software for complex, high-reliability systems

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

Strong software engineering fundamentals, including system design, debugging, testing, performance analysis, and maintainable code development

Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems, including concurrency, interrupt handling, memory-mapped peripherals, and hardware communication interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, and CAN

Experience developing software for embedded Linux and/or RTOS environments, including familiarity with build systems such as Yocto/OpenEmbedded and operating systems such as FreeRTOS

Experience developing low-level embedded Linux components including kernel modules, device drivers, and device tree integrations

Experience developing and maintaining automated test frameworks, validation tooling, or hardware/software integration test environments

Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across software, hardware, and operations teams

Proficiency with modern software development workflows and tools, including Git-based version control and code review practices

"Demonstrates a willingness to adopt and effectively utilize AI-assisted engineering tools, applying sound judgment to improve productivity, quality, and innovation while continuously adapting to evolving technologies"

Bonus Points:

Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field

Experience developing software for aerospace applications

Experience implementing embedded security solutions such as secure boot, hardware security modules (HSMs), certificate/key management, authentication, or encrypted communications

Familiarity with Linux networking concepts and infrastructure, including routing, interfaces, netlink, or packet-processing pipelines

Experience developing multi-stage bootloaders

Strong knowledge of computer networking and modern networking protocols

Experience with RTL (Verilog and/or VHDL) and embedded SoCs

Salary Range: $159,288 - $209,288 CAD

Actual total compensation will be determined at the Company’s discretion and is based on a variety of job-related factors, which may include, but are not limited to, relevant knowledge, skills, experience, performance, and education and/or training. The Company encourages all qualified applicants to apply, even if the posted salary range does not align with their expectations, as it does not reflect our total compensation package.
