Senior Flight Software Engineers!

Are you the kind of engineer who thinks “What does it take to make this work reliably?” Not the kind who just follows a spec, but someone who questions, builds, and innovates at the systems level?

We’re partnering with a groundbreaking aerospace startup in San Francisco on a mission that demands software as robust as the rockets it’s flying.

This isn’t another embedded or simulation job — it’s a rare chance to architect and build a full flight software stack from the ground up.

You’ll thrive here if you:

Have 5–10 years’ experience building safety-critical systems (aerospace, robotics, automotive).

Have deep technical ownership of flight software — from OS to networking to middleware.

Know your way around real-time systems, embedded systems, or even the Linux kernel.

Write in C++, Rust, or similar, and enjoy debugging and performance optimization.

Understand physical systems (controls, motors, fluid mechanics) enough to make software that actually does something.

🎯 High-agency individual contributor role — no red tape, no fluff.

🚫 This role is not for web developers, spec followers, or those looking to hide inside a massive org chart.
