The Satcom team is responsible for the design, delivery and performance of Open Cosmos’ satellite communications services, spanning the space segment, ground infrastructure and general connectivity.
The team are currently looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer, who’ll design and develop the real-time embedded software and firmware that powers critical hardware across both ground and space systems.
What will you be doing?

Develop embedded software and firmware for real-time control and telemetry systems
Design FPGA and firmware solutions using VHDL/Verilog for high-speed hardware control
Build and optimise embedded C/C++ applications within RTOS environments
Implement deterministic control loops and low-level hardware interfaces
Develop robust communication protocols across digital and RF subsystems




Design fault-tolerant and resilient system architectures for high-reliability environments
Support hardware-in-the-loop testing, integration, debugging, and verification activities
Optimise performance, power consumption, and memory usage in constrained embedded systems
Contribute to secure remote management and monitoring capabilities for deployed systems
Work closely with systems, hardware, RF, and software teams to deliver integrated solutions

What You’ll bring

Strong knowledge of embedded systems operating within real-time or constrained environments
Proficiency in embedded C/C++ and RTOS-based development
Strong capability in FPGA and firmware development using VHDL, Verilog, or similar HDL technologies
Solid understanding of low-level communication interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, or Ethernet
Capability in debugging and verification using tools such as JTAG, logic analysers, or HIL environments
