Job Description
Company Description
GalaxEye aims to shape the future of Satellite Image Acquisition, providing the most meaningful datasets, thus helping businesses and governments make data-driven decisions based on insights from satellite imagery. 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.
Role Description
The 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.
Qualifications
• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Electronics, Embedded Systems, Computer Science, VLSI, or related field.
• 5-8 years of experience in embedded software or flight software development.
• Experience in aerospace, satellite, defense, robotics, or autonomous systems.
• Knowledge of spacecraft onboard software architecture and mission operations.
• Experience with FPGA-software co-design and MPSoC platforms.
• Familiarity with CCSDS, ECSS, or DO-178 development practices.
• Exposure to AI accelerators, edge computing, or high-speed data handling systems.
Key responsibilities
• Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for spacecraft C&DH systems.
• Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for spacecraft C&DH systems.
• Develop low-level firmware and board support packages (BSP) for microcontrollers, SoCs, and FPGA-integrated systems.
• Implement real-time software architectures using Bare Metal and RTOS environments.
• Develop and optimize Embedded Linux applications, drivers, and middleware.
• Work on communication interfaces and protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, PCIe, SpaceWire, and CCSDS-based interfaces.
• Implement low-level drivers for micro controllers and SoCs (ADC, PWM, GPIO, Timers, RTC, Flash, EEPROM, etc.).
• Develop telemetry, tele-command, fault management, watchdog, boot loader, and health-monitoring software.
• Perform debugging, profiling, and performance optimization on target hardware.
• Support hardware bring-up, system integration, environmental testing, and mission operations.
• Contribute to software architecture, coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, and verification activities.
• Collaborate closely with avionics, FPGA, systems, and mission operations teams.
• Implement real-time software architectures using Bare Metal and RTOS environments.
• Develop and optimize Embedded Linux applications, drivers, and middleware.
• Work on communication interfaces and protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, PCIe, SpaceWire, and CCSDS-based interfaces.
