Apex manufactures satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles. The influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses.
Requirements
- 3+ years of total ground software experience.
- Strong proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C++, and Rust.
- Familiarity with microservices frameworks and tools and cloud-based solutions (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, gRPC).
- Knowledge of Linux operating systems and system administration.
- Experience with software integration, testing, and validation for real-time and distributed systems.
- Familiarity with network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP), secure communication systems, and encryption.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and implement ground software for satellite communication, control, and telemetry.
- Support commissioning of spacecraft during launch and early operations and ensure ground systems remain functional during critical operations.
- Own ground software solutions through the full lifecycle from initial design to deployment.
- Integrate third-party tools and custom software to automate satellite operations, tracking, and data processing.
- Monitor and improve system scalability, redundancy, and failover strategies for ground software and systems.
Other
- U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data.
- Bachelor’s degree in CS, EE or equivalent.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to baseline product requirements and technical roadmaps.
