Azora
Phoenix, Arizona, United States • On-site
Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Develop embedded and real-time software for flight and ground hardware, including device drivers and control applications for lasers and sensors. Create HIL test environments and collaborate with electrical and optical engineers for system integration and testing.
Requires a BS/MS in Computer Science or Engineering with 4+ years of experience in C/C++ and embedded systems. Proficiency with hardware interfaces, lab debugging tools, and RTOS environments is essential.
Write the software controlling our hardware; including embedded control, drivers, and real-time applications running on Azora's space terminals and ground stations. You will own the software that talks directly to FPGAs, detectors, lasers, gimbals, and sensors integrated into our flight and ground systems.
Develop embedded and real-time software for flight and ground hardware: device drivers, board support, FPGA register interfaces (AXI/memory-mapped), and control applications.
Implement control loops and supervision logic for lasers, fine-steering mirrors, detectors, thermal systems, and power management.
Build hardware bring-up, manufacturing test, and calibration software used across engineering and production units.
Develop flight software components including fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR), telemetry, and command handling.
Create hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments and automated regression suites for embedded software.
Work side-by-side with electrical, FPGA, and optical engineers during integration and environmental test campaigns.
Profile and optimize for determinism, latency, and resource constraints on embedded targets.
Ability to solve complex problems in challenging field environments.
BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer/Electrical Engineering, or related field.
4+ years of embedded or hardware-adjacent software experience in C/C++ (and ideally Rust or Python for tooling).
Experience with embedded Linux and/or RTOS environments (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, RTEMS).
Hands-on experience with hardware interfaces: SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, PCIe, or memory-mapped FPGA peripherals.
Comfort with lab debugging: logic analyzers, JTAG, oscilloscopes, and reading schematics.
Flight software experience (cFS, F´, or proprietary frameworks) and knowledge of FDIR design.
Experience with Zynq/Versal-class SoCs or soft-core processors and FPGA/software co-design.
Background in motion control, optical instrumentation, or camera/detector readout software.
Familiarity with space software standards (NASA NPR 7150.2, ECSS-E-ST-40) or safety-critical development practices.
Generous equity
Competitive healthcare (including options for vision and dental)
401(k)
Unlimited PTO
