Job Description
Be one of the Bedo 100 Albedo is making Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) mainstream, building the infrastructure to usher every satellite mission set into this new orbital domain. We build buses, integrate
Key Highlights
- Lead the software engineering organization — FSW, GNC, applied AI, ground — across approximately three to four teams of managers and ICs
- Own the integrated software performance of the satellite: deterministic flight software, control law implementation and verification, on-orbit and on-ground AI, and the command-and-control path
- Manage the simulation and HIL infrastructure that scales across the program and stays honestly flight-like
- Lead the closure of the GNC analytical-to-flight loop so that anomalies trace cleanly to model gaps or implementation bugs without ambiguity
- Develop technical leaders in each software domain (including domains outside your strongest) and resist the gravity to over-invest in your home discipline
Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications
- Twelve-plus years in real-time embedded, GNC, or flight software, with at least four leading software engineering managers
- Deep fluency in deterministic flight or flight-like software: timing, scheduling, fault containment, C++ on RTOS
- GNC literacy at the leadership level - you cannot derive every Kalman variant from scratch, but you can engage substantively with control law structure, estimator behavior, actuator interaction, and their failure modes, and you have done so in your own career
- Track record of building simulation and HIL infrastructure that caught real bugs before flight, and post-mortem discipline that changed the pipeline when bugs survived
- Experience leading heterogeneous software teams across domains you did not personally come up through
- Real opinions on the HW/SW boundary, on-orbit vs ground compute split, and where abstractions earn their keep
