// Mission_Overview
As a Flight Software Engineer at Vortex Aerospace, you will write the code that keeps the rocket pointed at the stars—and brings it back safely.
You will develop real-time, safety-critical software that runs on the metal, controlling everything from VORTEX-1 engine throttling to grid fin actuation.
Operational Objectives
Write high-performance flight software in Modern C++ (17/20) and Rust.
Develop Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) simulation frameworks to validate logic on real avionics.
Design fault-tolerant state machines for autonomous launch, stage separation, and landing.
Implement drivers for sensors (IMU, GPS) and actuators (TVC, Valves) over CAN/Ethernet.
Support mission control operations and analyze real-time telemetry data.
Mission Prerequisites
Strong proficiency in C++ or Rust with a focus on memory safety and real-time constraints.
Deep understanding of embedded systems, RTOS (FreeRTOS/RTEMS), and bare-metal programming.
Experience with low-level communication protocols (CAN FD, Ethernet, SPI, UART).
Familiarity with continuous integration (CI/CD) pipelines for embedded targets.
Ability to debug complex hardware/software interactions using JTAG and Logic Analyzers.
