Software Engineer – Space Startup (Client Opportunity)

🚀 Help Build the Future of Space Travel 🚀

We’re hiring a Software Engineer for an early-stage space startup developing automated space stations to refuel and repair spacecraft. Their technology will extend mission lifespans, increase payload capacity, and push the boundaries of deep-space exploration.

This is a rare opportunity to join a well-funded, fast-moving team working on cutting-edge space infrastructure. If you’re passionate about aerospace, thrive in high-intensity startup environments, and want to build something truly groundbreaking, this could be the perfect fit.

What You’ll Work On:

• Develop payload computer software , interfacing with multiple subsystems.
• Design the software architecture for space stations.
• Write clean, efficient Python and C++ code for mission-critical systems.
• Build real-time, high-reliability software for space applications.
• Integrate software with avionics, sensors, and actuators .
• Implement communication protocols like RS422, I2C, CAN, and Ethernet .

Who This Role is For:

• Strong coding skills in Python (C++ is a plus).
• Recent graduates or engineers with 1-2 years of experience are encouraged to apply.
• A passion for spaceflight and high-reliability software .
• A self-starter who thrives in a high-workload, high-impact startup—this is not a 9-to-5 job.
• Space industry experience is great but not required—attitude and problem-solving ability matter most.

What’s in it for You?:

• Competitive salary ($90K-$110K) + equity (0.1% - 1%)—get in early and be part of the upside.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or green card holder (due to ITAR restrictions).
• Location : Remote initially, then relocate to San Francisco (will be 5 days a week onsite)
• Start Date : Ideally within 3-4 weeks .
• Work Culture : Fast-paced, ambitious, and mission-driven—this is a place for builders.

If you’re ready to push the boundaries of what’s possible in space , let’s talk. Apply now to be part of something truly transformative or reach out to Ciara Holmes at Evona for more information.
