Junior Embedded Software Engineer

At Observable Space, we are not just building technology; we are architecting the eyes of the future. As a Junior Embedded Software Engineer, you will join an elite team at the intersection of precision optics and high-performance computing, working on systems that power critical missions for NASA, SpaceX, and the world’s most ambitious space agencies. If you are a curious, driven engineer who dreams of seeing your code operate in the vacuum of space or deep within the most advanced Earth-based observatories, you have found your launchpad.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex opto-mechanical hardware and robust software, gaining hands-on experience with real-time systems, low-level drivers, and the sophisticated embedded architectures that define modern aerospace. We are looking for early-career innovators who thrive on solving intricate problems and aren't afraid to push the boundaries of what is possible in extreme environments. You will be mentored by industry veterans, given ownership over meaningful features, and empowered to contribute directly to the platforms that allow humanity to observe and connect with the universe.

If you are ready to accelerate your career at a high-growth company where every line of code has a cosmic impact, we want to hear from you. We value technical aptitude, a collaborative spirit, and a relentless drive to master the systems that define the next frontier. Join us at Observable Space, where your work will transcend the atmosphere and become a permanent part of the scientific legacy we are building together.
