Albedo is revolutionizing the space industry by building technology to commercialize Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO). Our first satellite, Clarity-1, is built upon our Precision bus, our VLEO-optimized platform designed specifically to thrive where other satellites cannot. With the successful launch of Clarity-1, we've proven our ability to deliver the highest resolution visible (10cm) and thermal (2m) imagery available commercially from space—a resolution previously possible only with aircraft and drones, but now available globally and on-demand.
Requirements
- Understand trade-offs when it comes to topics such as memory, processor capabilities, hardware offloading, latency/bandwidth, or build versus re-use.
- Can use version control, such as Git (hint: we use it), and you might be pedantic about how you version your software (like using SemVer).
- Demonstrate a core competency in one, or many, of the following: networking communication, distributed computing, Linux driver development, middleware frameworks, state machine modeling, real-time operating systems, software/hardware simulations, or pick your flavor of nerding out and tell us!
Responsibilities
- Work directly with avionics hardware to develop highly performant software in embedded Linux.
- Benchmark our solutions to ensure we’re meeting our tight timing constraints.
- Design software solutions that can communicate between real-time operating systems and embedded Linux.
- Verify our software works end-to-end, from ground communication to spacecraft commanding.
- Participate in integration and test campaigns to ensure our software is robust.
- Assist in maintaining automated systems for CI/CD, both software-only and hardware solutions.
