Full job description
York Space Systems was founded to radically improve spacecraft affordability and reliability, transforming, and enabling next- generation space mission operations worldwide. Today, York is one of the most innovative aerospace companies, specializing in end-to-end customer solutions and the rapid production of spacecraft platforms. York’s complete Space Segment Solution includes spacecraft production, payload integration, system integration & test, launch services, ground segment services, and mission operations, enabling customers to leverage York’s existing technology solutions to get to orbit rapidly and responsively. We’re looking to expand our team across the board.
We are looking for talented, cross-domain software engineers to join a small, empowered strategic development team focused on rapid prototyping and advanced development across York’s software portfolio. This team operates ahead of program need proving out new capabilities, de-risking emerging technology, and maturing prototypes to the point where they can transition into production programs. Scope spans across York software: Full stack web development, onboard embedded and real-time software, ground and cloud applications and tooling, and autonomy and machine learning.
We are looking for a Battle Management Software Engineer who is passionate about pushing the boundaries of modern technology to advance our constellation management and visualization capabilities using AI agentic coding techniques. Your focus will be developing software components that enhance mission planning, system coordination, and real-time decision support. You will use AI driven development workflows and modern distributed system design to enhance existing situational awareness capabilities and to integrate new battle management capabilities, which enable responsive, data driven operations. You will have the unique experience of integrating your work with advanced simulation software and even seeing it in operation at York.
Not all skills below are required, we encourage you to apply if you have an interest in learning!
Key Responsibilities
Design software architectures suitable for agentic development
Evaluate, debug, and improve agent behavior, including monitoring output quality, ensuring reliability, and enforcing safety or coding standards
Translate designs and requirements into high-quality, maintainable software that meets both functional and visual standards
Build reusable code for components, shared libraries, and scalable services for use across the platform
Engineer algorithms and business logic to promote scalability and automation
Develop unit tests and documentation for internal users and customers
Develop integration tests against simulation tools to validate behavior against realistic mission scenarios
Participate in agile ceremonies including sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives
Other duties as assigned
