Join the Pinnacle of Satellite Technology Advancement in Germany! 

Reflex Aerospace is at the forefront of propelling high-performance satellite technology to new heights within the German aerospace landscape.  

As part of Reflex Aerospace, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of the space industry's future. This is an opportunity to contribute your expertise and enthusiasm to a team that stands for innovation and excellence. If you are ready to take on exciting challenges and be part of a company that is redefining the boundaries of satellite technology, we welcome you to embark on this thrilling journey with us!
Your Mission:

We're looking for a Software Engineer to join the Onboard Computer and Satellite Subsystems team and help us reach the next level.
This team is responsible for developing software that runs on our cutting-edge onboard computer to communicate via different interfaces such as CAN, Ethernet, PCIe, SPI, I²C, and UART, as well as software for satellite subsystems we develop in-house.

Your Mission:

  • Implement low-level drivers for ARM-based MCUs, SoCs, and external chips in real-time operating system and bare-metal environments.
  • Implement software for satellite subsystems such as batteries, sun sensors, reaction wheels, and related hardware.
  • Collaborate closely with the hardware and electronics teams to ensure smooth board handover, bring-up, debugging, and validation.
  • Interface with the Mission and Payload Software teams to provide low-level platform features such as communication interfaces, device drivers, non-volatile memory access, and board-support functionality.
  • Assist with on-orbit flight operations.

Your Background:

  • Background in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of hands-on embedded development experience in domains such as aerospace, robotics, real-time control systems, or low-level systems software.
  • Expertise in C,proficiency in Python, and familiarity with Rust.
  • Proficiency with git source control.
  • Practical debugging skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, hardware debuggers, and related tools.
  • Solid understanding of ARM microprocessor architecture.
  • Commitment to software quality through developer-led automated testing practices.
  • Collaborative mindset with the ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts across teams and roles.
  • Proven experience with embedded communication protocols and buses such as CAN, SPI, I²C, UART, Ethernet, and/or PCIe.
  • Excellent knowledge of RTOS internals.
  • Proficiency working in a Linux development environment and with the GCC toolchain.
  • Experience with Xilinx Zynq, Vivado, or comparable FPGA/SoC vendor tooling.
  • Ability to work with hardware schematics and board-level documentation to define pin constraints, configure peripherals, and generate board-support or software handoff artifacts.
  • Comfortable with automation and scripting, particularly Tcl and Python.
  • Basic familiarity with VHDL or Verilog is helpful, but this is not primarily an RTL design role.

What We Offer:

  • Collaborate with a diverse multinational team crafting the next wave of cutting-edge satellites. Embark on this exciting journey with us from the outset, leaving your indelible mark on a dynamic company and playing a direct role in shaping the future of the space industry. 
  • Keep your energy levels high with company-sponsored memberships for Urban Sports Club.
  • We provide a hybrid work model along with flexible working hours, empowering you as the owner of your time management. 
  • Nestled in the heart of Friedrichshain, our Berlin office provides a lively and central hub easily accessible by transit. Immerse yourself in a neighborhood teeming with vibrant restaurants and year-round cultural events. 
  • Enjoy the flexibility of ample vacation time, including a special company holiday on April 12th dedicated to celebrating the International Day of Human Spaceflight.
Join Reflex Aerospace and be a driving force in shaping the next era of space exploration! We look for your application.
