A new space race has begun. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build innovative technology that solves the next generation of engineering, manufacturing, and operational challenges for space security and sustainability.
OUR MISSION The peaceful use of space is essential for continued prosperity on Earth—from communications and finance to navigation and logistics. True Anomaly builds innovative technology at the intersection of spacecraft, software, and AI to enhance the capabilities of the U.S., its allies, and commercial partners. We safeguard global security by ensuring space access and sustainability for all.
OUR VALUES
Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity
What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results
It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together
YOUR MISSION As a Senior Embedded Security Engineer, you will be responsible for hardening the security posture of the software that runs on True Anomaly's space vehicles. Working alongside a team of engineers with diverse backgrounds and skills, you will develop and secure the software that powers our space vehicles while ensuring our systems meet the highest standards for safety‑critical operations.
In this role, you will collaborate closely with flight software engineers to integrate security best practices throughout the development lifecycle.
You will serve as a security subject matter expert responsible for establishing secure coding standards, designing and implementing security testing harnesses, and providing hands‑on expertise in implementing security controls within resource‑constrained embedded environments. Other examples of responsibilities include implementing and auditing secure boot processes, firmware validation, cryptographic implementations, and runtime hardening, as well as systems that enforce memory safety, manage secrets and key material, and protect inter‑process and inter‑device communication channels.
This is an ideal role for someone who thrives at the intersection of embedded systems and security, enjoys working on challenging technical problems in safety‑critical environments, and wants to shape the security foundation of next‑generation space systems. As an early member of the team, your decisions today will have lasting impact on our spacecraft security architecture and operational capabilities.
This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
Responsibilities
Work with flight software engineers to continuously harden the security of spacecraft embedded systems
Conduct security reviews of flight controller software, control systems, and communication protocols
Implement and/or audit cryptographic primitives and secure key management for resource‑constrained embedded environments
Establish and enforce secure coding practices for safety-critical embedded software
Perform threat modeling and security architecture reviews for embedded systems
Integrate security features into test fixtures and CI/CD pipelines
Support device security efforts
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to ensure security requirements are integrated into spacecraft development lifecycle
Support operational spacecraft deployments with security monitoring and incident response capabilities
Qualifications
5+ years of hands‑on experience in embedded systems development with a focus on security
Strong C/C++ programming skills with deep understanding of memory safety and secure coding practices
Background in low‑level embedded software architecture, design, and development with security considerations
Low‑level device driver development experience with security hardening
Proficiency with embedded systems tools, compilers, debuggers, IDEs, and static analysis tools
Strong debugging skills using instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers
Understanding of cryptographic implementations in resource‑constrained environments
Familiarity with embedded security standards and best practices
Preferred Skills
Active TS/SCI security clearance or ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance
Direct experience in spacecraft/satellite embedded software or other aerospace safety‑critical systems
Experience with secure firmware update mechanisms and anti‑tamper techniques
Knowledge of hardware security modules (HSMs) and secure elements
Experience with fault injection testing, side‑channel analysis, or embedded penetration testing
Familiarity with space‑specific protocols and standards (CCSDS, ECSS)
Compensation Base Salary: Long Beach - $150,000 to $205,000, Denver - $145,000 to $195,000
Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401(k), Parental Leave
Work Environment
Work Location: this role will be fully onsite at our facilities in Centennial, CO or Long Beach, CA
This role operates in a fast‑paced, high‑stakes environment where rapid decision‑making and adaptability are essential
Bias towards delivery and iteration to discover the right use cases for security investments
Must be comfortable taking calculated risks and owning accountability for managing those risks
Passionate about solving real‑world security problems in resource‑constrained embedded environments
Collaborative culture with opportunities for significant ownership and technical leadership
Direct access to leadership and opportunity to influence spacecraft security architecture
What We Offer
Competitive salary
Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge spacecraft technology and define security standards for next‑generation space systems
Professional development and certification support
Collaborative culture with experienced embedded systems and security professionals
Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401(k), Parental Leave
This position will be open until it is successfully filled.
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
True Anomaly is committed to equal employment opportunity on any basis protected by applicable state and federal laws. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us know.
