Operations Software Engineer

Tomorrow.io’s Space & Sensors team is responsible for the development of unique RF-based sensing systems, such as radar and sonar, from architecture through implementation. The team is also responsible for the  development of corresponding spacecraft and constellations in support of Tomorrow.io’s Operation Tomorrow Space, which will collect data to be integrated seamlessly into our existing forecasting and modeling systems, revolutionizing global weather intelligence.

We’re looking for an Operations Software Engineer to help us develop the mission-critical software systems necessary to launch, deploy, and operate a fleet of scientific instruments in space, from Earth. Come join a group of engineers and scientists that dream on the IR spectrum, call astrodynamics “fun”, and could talk for days about why time is way harder than you think. Together, we will build the biggest weather platform in the world!

As a Operations Software Engineer at Tomorrow.io, You’ll

• Develop the tools mission operators and climate scientists need to achieve mission success
• Contribute to the definition of interfaces between various components (ground system to spacecraft, spacecraft bus to payload, etc.)
• Work with DevOps and IT teams on topics such as production environments, deployment strategies, and security measures
• Provide training and documentation for all production software systems

What you bring: (6 must competencies)

• 5+ years of experience with mission- or safety-critical software systems
• B.S. in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
• Experience developing production-quality software
• Understanding of microservice architectures
• Exposure to aerospace systems (i.e. satellites, airplanes, rockets)
• Working knowledge of two or more of: Python, C/C++, Java, .NET

So if while watching a rocket launch broadcast, you try to catch a glimpse at what all those people on-console are looking at. When you hear “The space telescope is fully deployed”, you ask yourself “How did they do that from Earth?”. How many people did it take to get to the moon? It had to have been more than the three astronauts in the command module. If these are thoughts you find yourself having, then this is the team for you! 

If you have reached this point and you are super excited but not sure you check all the boxes - we still want to speak with you! Your passion is priceless. Other things can be learned.

This position requires access to technology that is controlled under U.S. export control laws and regulations. Accordingly, this position is restricted to U.S. citizens, permanent residents and protected individuals unless and until any required licenses are obtained.

Anticipated salary range is $150K-$180K, subject to local market and a candidate’s skills and experience.  Health, leave and other benefits included.
