Embedded Software Engineer - Global Space Programme

We are working with a key player in the aerospace and defence sector on a strategically significant space programme. The project is part of a confidential international initiative focused on the development of next-generation satellite and orbital technologies. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to a mission that will define critical capabilities in the years ahead.

The selected engineer will play a central role in the delivery of robust, Real Time Embedded software, developed primarily in C. You will be involved in designing, implementing and validating software that will operate in some of the most demanding environments imaginable. The work spans across control systems, communications and onboard data processing, requiring a commitment to excellence and absolute reliability.

We are looking for professionals with strong experience in Embedded C development and Real Time operating systems (RTOS), along with a background in high-integrity engineering environments. Prior involvement in aerospace, space, or similarly complex and regulated sectors is highly valued. A mindset focused on precision, system reliability and long-term performance is essential.

Please note you must be an EU Citizen to be considered for the role.

This is a freelance contract with the programme moving into a critical phase. Interviews are being scheduled without delay.
