We will provide Satellite Imagery Datasets and Value-added services to Geospatial Analytics Companies and Infrastructure enterprises. At GalaxEye, we are working to build the best remote sensing satellites and also, we are researching various aspects of remote sensing. \nThe C&DH (Command & Data Handling) team at GalaxEye is responsible for designing and developing the onboard computing and embedded software infrastructure that powers our satellite constellation. The team works across embedded platforms, real-time systems, onboard communications, and flight software, encompassing Bare Metal, RTOS, and Embedded Linux-based development for mission-critical spacecraft operations.\nThe team operates in a highly interdisciplinary environment where embedded software, FPGA systems, avionics hardware, and mission operations come together to build reliable and high-performance satellite systems. We foster a culture of strong ownership, where engineers are expected to independently drive technical solutions, proactively identify and solve system-level challenges and provide strong engineering justifications while collaborating closely across hardware, FPGA, systems, and operations teams to deliver robust space-qualified solutions.\nKey Responsibilities:\nDesign, develop, and maintain embedded software for spacecraft C&DH systems.\nDevelop low-level firmware and board support packages (BSP) for microcontrollers, SoCs, and FPGA-integrated systems.\nImplement real-time software architectures using Bare Metal and RTOS environments.\nDevelop and optimize Embedded Linux applications, drivers, and middleware.\nWork on communication interfaces and protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, PCIe, SpaceWire, and CCSDS-based interfaces.\nImplement low-level drivers for microcontrollers and SoCs (ADC, PWM, GPIO, Timers, RTC, Flash, EEPROM, etc.).\nDevelop telemetry, telecommand, fault management, watchdog, bootloader, and health-monitoring software.\nPerform debugging, profiling, and performance optimization on target hardware.\nSupport hardware bring-up, system integration, environmental testing, and mission operations.\nContribute to software architecture, coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, and verification activities.\nCollaborate closely with avionics, FPGA, systems, and mission operations teams.\nRequirements\nStrong programming expertise in C/C++ for embedded systems.\nStrong understanding of:\nMCU architecture (ARM Cortex-M/A/R or RISC-V, etc.)\nMemory (stack/heap, static allocation, alignment, DMA coherency/cachesif relevant)\n\nBare Metal firmware development\nRTOS concepts (task scheduling, synchronization, IPC, memory management)\nEmbedded Linux internals and driver/application development\nExperience with one or more RTOS like FreeRTOS , Zephyr,ThreadX\nExperience in Linux-based embedded systems like Device drivers,Kernel/user-space interaction, Build systems (Yocto/Buildroot) , Scripting experience in Python or Perl.\n\nStrong debugging skills using JTAG , GDB, Logic analyzers andOscilloscope.\n\nExperience with communication protocols: SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet,PCIe\n\nUnderstanding software reliability, fault tolerance, and safety-criticalsystem design.\n\nPreferred Qualifications :\nBachelor’s/Master's degree inElectronics, Embedded Systems, Computer Science, VLSI, or related field.\n\n2-4 years of experience inembedded software or flight software development.\n\nExperience in aerospace, satellite, defense, robotics, or autonomoussystems.\n\nKnowledge of spacecraft onboard software architecture and missionoperations.\n\nFamiliarity with CCSDS, ECSS, or DO-178 development practices.\nExposure to AI accelerators, edge computing, or high-speed data handlingsystems\n\nWho We’re Looking For :\nStrong systems-level thinking with ownership mindset.\nAble to debug hardware independently - software integration issues.\nComfortable working in fast-paced R&D or space-tech environments.\nPassionate about building reliable real-time systems formission-critical applications. \n\nBenefits\nFair compensation will be provided as per market standards \nExperience rapid growth and start-up culture\nFlexible Working Hours\nOpen to exploring, discussing and implementing new ideas and processes\nOpportunity to work closely with the Founding Team at GalaxEye\nGet a chance to work with Advisors holding senior positions and decades of experience.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4565,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Space & Aerospace","Earth Observation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-03T17:02:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/galaxeye-space-junior-embedded-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/galaxeye-space-junior-embedded-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T21:22:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":823,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4177,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":59381},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=59381"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgalaxeye-space-junior-embedded-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgalaxeye-space-junior-embedded-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgalaxeye-space-junior-embedded-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/galaxeye-space-junior-embedded-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgalaxeye-space-junior-embedded-software-engineer"}]}
