Do you want to build spacecraft that solve real-world problems? If you are curious about the international space industry, cutting-edge technology and spacecraft integration, you may be just who we are looking for.

Since 2007, GomSpace has designed and supplied satellites to customers across more than 60 countries worldwide. That has been possible only because of a dedication to technology innovation and the 150 highly skilled employees, who potentially can become your new colleagues.

about the job

As Software Engineer, you will become part of the Programs Business Unit that works with projects and missions for clients in the space industry, commercial entities, government bodies and defense organizations across the globe.
The team of software engineers work closely with system engineers, project managers and other software engineers in GomSpace. Projects typically span 10-20 months and you will be part of 1-2 projects at a time.

The work involves
• Satellite subsystem "driver" development, possibly with 3rd party satellite components.
• Configuration, integration, testing and verification of the satellite subsystems and as a whole

• Developing or extending system test cases in Python. You will also need to read a lot of existing C and Python code in order to debug and identify issues.
• Coding spanning HW drivers, protocols, control systems, applications, unit/system tests and DevOps tasks.
• Working with the ground stations that communicate with the satellites: set them up, configure, and operate them - and possibly also develop new code for them.
• A continuous focus on optimization of the integration process, manuals and collaboration with other departments in GomSpace.

The team works on Linux workstations, using Git, Python, Pytest, C, Docker, Jenkins, and many other tools and technologies. The team works agile, and conducts informal code reviews to improve code quality. The team culture is to learn from and help one another, while having fun working in a domain they’re all deeply committed to.

This position is based in Denmark. Travel activity may occur and will be limited to a maximum of 15 days per year. We welcome international applicants.

your profile

You will be good match to the team and the position if you can tick most of the following boxes:
• Love to work with computers and systems
• Are motivated and eager to learn and work in many different areas of software development
• Like to understand the whole system and how the components interact
• Have experience in C, Python and embedded programming

We imagine that your educational background is in engineering; systems, software, control, telecom or similar - but an interest in the space domain and a willingness to learn is far more important than formal education. As a person, you are curious and interested in solving challenges in an environment where two days are rarely alike. We welcome both fresh or recent graduates as well as more experienced candidates - your attitude and interest in helping your team succeed are what’s valued. Perhaps you have worked with software engineering in another complex environment such as defense, telecom, security, or the like.

why choose GomSpace?

Because you will become part of a leading company in the space industry, working with exciting and innovative technology focused on making a difference to society in the future. You will have passionate, skilled colleagues with many different nationalities that are driven by curiosity for technology and the exciting opportunities ‘New Space’ presents.
You will work in a dynamic and international environment with a cooperative and informal work culture. Here you can learn and develop from GomSpace’s global locations and relations. You will be working with project management based on international standards and team-oriented approaches.
