Lead Flight Software Engineer

This is a unique opportunity to lead the development of the software that makes our rockets fly.

We are looking for a highly capable Lead Flight Software Engineer to own the architecture, development, verification, and integration of software across the vehicle and ground segment.

From low-level embedded software controlling propulsion systems and flight hardware to flight-computer routines, telemetry, telecommand, and ground-support infrastructure, your work will be critical to launch success.

You will provide technical leadership while remaining hands-on across the software stack and supporting real hardware campaigns.

About us

We’re a Germany-based rocketry startup currently in stealth mode, scaling up rapidly to meet the demand for high-performance, reliable, and scalable solid propulsion technologies for space and defense applications.

We are already launching suborbital and ballistic rockets on a regular basis, generating significant revenue and applying our knowledge toward the development of an orbital rocket.

We are working hard to build something truly spectacular.

To thrive here you will need to be comfortable working at pace, with the autonomy to make decisions and execute on them quickly.

If you’re excited by hard technical challenges and want a role where you will make a real difference each day to the future of the company, we may be the place for you.

At our company, job titles and career progression are earned, not determined by years of experience alone.

They reflect the responsibility you take on and the dedication you bring to each project.

If you’re ready to rise to the challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
