About the company
Today, everything we send to space is constrained by what fits inside a rocket fairing. That’s a fundamental bottleneck to building more capable spacecraft. Rendezvous Robotics is solving this problem with electromagnetic self-assembling tiles: modular spacecraft components that rendezvous, dock, and latch to assemble bigger and more powerful spacecraft than anything that can be folded to fit into a rocket.
We’re a small team based in Golden, Colorado, executing on a clear path from flight demonstration to our first operational systems. Our work spans hardware, software, and systems engineering. We are looking for the best people in the world who want to build the next generation of advanced spacecraft.
Responsibilities
•
Write and test flight software for our onboard compute platform
•
Build out tools for ground station operations, including telemetry visualization and command sequencing
•
Work on communication protocols between units that have to keep working as the assembly changes shape or membership
•
Help build simulation environments for testing new logic before it touches hardware
•
Debug issues that span the software and hardware boundary, alongside the electrical team
