K2 Space is hiring a software engineer to develop and verify flight software for large, high-powered spacecraft. The role focuses on building mission-critical systems that control propulsion, attitude, power, and telemetry, and contributing to core software architecture for fault tolerance and real-time control. Over the first year you will implement and verify systems using software and hardware-in-the-loop simulators and eventually operate code on multiple spacecraft.
