GalaxEye aims to shape the future of Satellite Image Acquisition, providing the most meaningful datasets, thus helping businesses and governments make data-driven decisions based on insights from satellite imagery. We will provide Satellite Imagery Datasets and Value-added services to Geospatial Analytics Companies and Infrastructure enterprises. At GalaxEye, we are working to build the best remote sensing satellites and also, we are researching various aspects of remote sensing.
The C&DH (Command & Data Handling) team at GalaxEye is responsible for designing and developing the onboard computing and embedded software infrastructure that powers our satellite constellation. The team works across embedded platforms, real-time systems, onboard communications, and flight software, encompassing Bare Metal, RTOS, and Embedded Linux-based development for mission-critical spacecraft operations.
The team operates in a highly interdisciplinary environment where embedded software, FPGA systems, avionics hardware, and mission operations come together to build reliable and high-performance satellite systems. We foster a culture of strong ownership, where engineers are expected to independently drive technical solutions, proactively identify and solve system-level challenges and provide strong engineering justifications while collaborating closely across hardware, FPGA, systems, and operations teams to deliver robust space-qualified solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for spacecraft C&DH systems.
- Develop low-level firmware and board support packages (BSP) for microcontrollers, SoCs, and FPGA-integrated systems.
- Implement real-time software architectures using Bare Metal and RTOS environments.
- Develop and optimize Embedded Linux applications, drivers, and middleware.
- Work on communication interfaces and protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, PCIe, SpaceWire, and CCSDS-based interfaces.
- Implement low-level drivers for microcontrollers and SoCs (ADC, PWM, GPIO, Timers, RTC, Flash, EEPROM, etc.).
- Develop telemetry, telecommand, fault management, watchdog, bootloader, and health-monitoring software.
- Perform debugging, profiling, and performance optimization on target hardware.
- Support hardware bring-up, system integration, environmental testing, and mission operations.
- Contribute to software architecture, coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, and verification activities.
- Collaborate closely with avionics, FPGA, systems, and mission operations teams.
