Lead Embedded Software Engineer

🚀 The Liftero⌝

At Liftero, we are at the forefront of the Industry 4.0 revolution, developing cutting-edge in-space transportation technologies. We believe that the space ecosystem is the next frontier for our civilization, with new opportunities waiting to be unlocked. As part of our mission to build and operate in-space transportation infrastructure, we are developing the reusable orbital transfer vehicle Motus™, an essential building block that can be likened to a truck for ground or an aircraft for air transportation in space.

Despite the lofty goals, we are very human and down-to-earth in our approach to the employee, understanding that achieving stars can be made only with a motivated and dedicated team.  

👨‍🚀 The role 

As a Lead Embedded Software Engineer, you will be responsible for leading and managing the development of embedded software solutions for the Motus spacecraft system. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including systems engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and software engineers, to design, implement, and test embedded software that enables the operation, control, and communication of spacecraft systems. You will provide technical leadership, and oversee software development activities.
