Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

 

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

 

By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system—with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices—we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.

 

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.


As we continue to expand and innovate, the Senior Embedded Software Architect will play a critical role in shaping the technical direction and architecture of our LEO satellite communication system. This position is essential for ensuring our software solutions are scalable, robust, and aligned with our strategic goals.


Your expertise will drive the development of high-quality software, setting the foundation for future growth and technological advancements. This position will report to the Head of Systems Engineering and Advanced Projects and will be based in our Toulouse, France office.

What you will be doing

  • Leading the design and architecture of complex embedded software systems over a distributed SoC architecture (CPU, DSP, FPGA, ASICs), ensuring alignment with business objectives and technical standards.
  • Design and Development of intra and inter processor communication protocols.
  • Lead the development of optimized software solutions aligned with the organization roadmap.
  • Lead the implementation of an L1/L2 virtualization framework, including orchestration of multiple processes.
  • Collaborating with cross-functional global teams to define software requirements and create architectural blueprints.
  • Evaluating and selecting appropriate technologies, tools, and frameworks to meet project needs.
  • Overseeing the implementation of software architectures, providing guidance and mentorship to development teams.
  • Conducting architectural reviews and ensuring adherence to best practices and coding standards.
  • Identifying and addressing technical risks and challenges, ensuring the delivery of scalable and maintainable software solutions.
  • Staying updated with the latest industry trends and advancements, incorporating new technologies and methodologies as appropriate.
  • Documenting architectural designs and decisions, ensuring clear communication and understanding across teams.
  • Mentor and provide relevant training to the team members where applicable.
  • Define the software processes, align with the organization and document with good quality for the other teams.
  • Any other duties commensurate with the role, as may reasonably be requested by the line manager to support departmental goals.

What you bring to this role

  • A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, with extensive experience in software architecture and design.
  • Experience in delivering highly efficient and reliable software (e.g. satellite or automative safety-critical applications)
  • Experience with version control systems (e.g. git) and continuous integration testing (e.g. Jenkins).
  • Proven track record of designing and implementing large-scale, complex software systems.
  • Previous experience in ARM Cortex A/M/R, PowerPC e200, DSP series processors.
  • Experience with different virtualization hypervisors
  • Strong understanding of software development methodologies, including Agile and DevOps practices.
  • Proficiency in multiple programming languages and software development frameworks (C/C++, Python, RTOS) as well as in Linux OS and Yocto.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to address technical challenges with innovative solutions using efficient debugging methodologies.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to support Hardware design during product development.
  • Experience in mentoring and guiding development teams, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
  • A proactive and strategic mindset, with a commitment to driving technological excellence and innovation.
  • At least 7 years’ experience in a similar role
  • A willingness to undertake further relevant training.
  • An understanding and commitment to equal opportunities.

We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.


While we welcome candidates with global experience, please note that English is the language we conduct our business in, and application submissions will need to be in English or both English and French to be reviewed by our global team.
