Turn your code into technology that operates in orbit!
At N7 Space, we are passionate about developing high-reliability software for the international space sector. We are looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our team in Warsaw and contribute to a wide variety of exciting space missions. Working alongside a dedicated team of space enthusiasts, you will build and test software for satellite systems and space-grade equipment. While space missions demand high reliability, our focus is on smart engineering, technical excellence, and the excitement of seeing your work reach space.
Your Role
Design, implement, and test embedded software in C and C++ for diverse space projects and onboard equipment.
Develop deterministic, real-time applications using RTOS environments tailored for space systems.
Work close to the hardware deploying software to space grade systems.
Use Python to write scripts, automate tests, and build internal tools or hardware simulators.
Requirements
Solid proficiency in C and C++ development for embedded systems.
Practical experience working with Real-Time Operating Systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, RTEMS, or similar).
High comfort level using Linux as your primary development environment along with GNU toolchains and build systems.
Working knowledge of Python for scripting, test automation, or tooling.
Hands-on experience with ARM target architectures (such as Cortex-M7, Xilinx Zynq, or similar microcontrollers/SoCs).
Very good English skills (written and spoken) for daily technical communication and documentation.
Readiness to work in a hybrid model, coming to our Warsaw office.
Nice to have
Experience with LEON processor architecture (e.g., GR712RC or other SPARC-based space chips).
Familiarity with space communication protocols.
Knowledge of space industry software development standards.
Prior experience in space, aerospace, or high-reliability software development.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
The rare opportunity to write code that actually flies into space on real satellite missions.
A friendly, tech-driven atmosphere surrounded by people who are truly passionate about space.
Exposure to unique, specialized hardware architectures and advanced engineering methodologies.
Flexible hybrid setup based at our Warsaw office.
