About

Join the Mission Aetherflux is on a groundbreaking mission to revolutionize energy delivery to our planet. By harnessing the power of space solar technology, we aim to make energy more accessible, promote American energy independence, and support underdeveloped regions and military operations. About Us Aetherflux is pioneering space solar power through our innovative constellation of satellites designed to collect sunlight in Low Earth Orbit. Our vision is to convert that sunlight into electricity and transmit it via infrared lasers to ground stations, ensuring reliable energy access in areas where traditional methods are inefficient or hazardous. Our current energy systems face vulnerabilities due to logistical complexities and outdated infrastructures, making them susceptible to natural disasters and cyber threats. Aetherflux tackles these challenges head-on by enabling scalable 24-hour energy distribution from space, which can transform energy generation and delivery. Founded in 2024 by Baiju Bhatt, a visionary inspired by his father's career at NASA, Aetherflux emerges from a $10 million investment and is driven by a team of professionals from leading organizations like Robinhood, SpaceX, and NASA. If you are ready to tackle complex technical challenges and contribute to one of the most ambitious energy projects, we want to hear from you! Position Overview As an Embedded Software Developer, you will be at the forefront of designing and developing real-time software essential for our satellite operations. This includes developing robust and fault-tolerant software for satellite control, power transmission, and efficient ground communication. Collaborating with engineers from various disciplines, you will help create an extremely reliable software infrastructure to support our unique energy delivery platform. Key Responsibilities Real-Time Software Development:
Design and implement embedded software for on-board satellites, focusing on control systems, communication, and power transmission. Flight Software Design:
Create optimized, fault-tolerant software for critical mission operations. Hardware Integration:
Collaborate with hardware engineers to integrate software with spacecraft components, including sensors and communication systems. Low-Level Firmware Development:
Develop and optimize firmware for microcontrollers and FPGAs using C, C++, and Rust. Testing & Simulation:
Set up software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing environments to validate software functionality. Data Management:
Develop software for satellite telemetry and power delivery data processing. Performance Improvement:
Optimize software for performance in power-constrained and radiative environments. Collaboration:
Work with cross-disciplinary teams, including mechanical, optical, and thermal engineers, to ensure robust software integration. Essential Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or closely related fields. Over 3 years of experience in embedded software development or firmware engineering. Proficiency in programming languages such as C, C++, and/or Rust. Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and bare-metal development. Understanding of microcontroller and FPGA programming. Familiarity with hardware interfaces including SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and Ethernet. Experience with debugging tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers. Knowledge of Linux-based embedded systems and kernel development. Strong analytical skills and adaptability to fast-paced work environments. Preferred Qualifications Master's degree in Embedded Systems, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline. More than 5 years of relevant experience, especially within aerospace or satellite sectors. Experience with radiation-hardened software for aerospace applications. Expertise in FPGA software design and high-performance computing. Familiarity with fault-tolerant software systems. Experience with satellite communication standards and data processing. Hands-on experience with co-designing software and hardware, focusing on embedded security. Benefits Health, dental, and vision insurance for employees and eligible dependents. 401(k) retirement savings plan. Unlimited paid time off. Ten paid holidays each year. Paid parental leave.
