Job Title: Embedded Systems Engineer

Location: Ode-Remo, Ogun
Employment Type: Full-time

Job Summary

• As an Embedded Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and developing low-level software and firmware that powers satellite subsystems, ground station equipment, and edge devices used in data pipelines.
• You will write code that must operate reliably in real-time under the harsh conditions of space and in performance-critical terrestrial environments.
• You’ll work alongside electrical engineers, aerospace specialists, and data scientists to ensure seamless integration between hardware and software, contributing to mission success at every stage of the satellite lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities
Firmware Development:

• Design, develop, and optimize embedded software (in C, C++, or Rust) for satellite avionics, payload systems, and ground station devices using RTOS or bare-metal environments.

System Integration:

• Interface software with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and SoCs; manage communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, and CAN across hardware platforms.

Satellite Subsystems Support:

• Create robust, radiation-tolerant code for critical satellite subsystems including attitude control, propulsion, and telemetry communication.

Testing & Validation:

• Develop and execute Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing procedures, adhering to aerospace standards such as DO-178C.

Ground Station Software:

• Contribute to the development of real-time control software for antennas, receivers, and data processors within our ground communication systems.

Mission-Critical Optimization:

• Optimize firmware for low-power, high-reliability, and real-time operation in challenging space and terrestrial conditions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Work closely with engineers from aerospace, electrical, mechanical, and communication domains to design integrated systems.

Edge Computing Support:

• Contribute to downstream services by building embedded software for edge processing units in satellite data pipelines and smart gateways.

Documentation & Compliance:

• Maintain thorough documentation for software designs, performance benchmarks, test results, and regulatory compliance reports.

On-Orbit & Post-Launch Support:

• Participate in debugging and diagnostic activities during live satellite operations and provide mission support post-launch.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Embedded Systems Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• 2–5 years of experience in embedded systems development—experience in aerospace, robotics, or IoT environments is highly valued.
• Proficiency in C/C++, Rust, and embedded development tools.
• Strong understanding of microcontroller architectures (e.g., ARM Cortex, AVR, RISC-V) and real-time operating systems (RTOS).
• Experience integrating with FPGAs, SoCs, and custom-designed PCBs.
• Familiarity with aerospace testing frameworks and standards (DO-178C or equivalent).
• Solid foundation in communication protocols and embedded debugging tools.
• Ability to work in fast-paced, cross-functional teams with high attention to detail.
• Passion for space technology and real-world problem-solving.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of Africa’s emerging space revolution with real impact on industries and communities.
• Engage in cutting-edge, mission-critical projects that challenge your engineering capabilities.
• Collaborate with a passionate team of engineers, scientists, and visionaries.
• Receive opportunities for career advancement, technical training, and innovation leadership.
• Competitive salary, dynamic work environment, and performance-based incentives.
