Staff/Senior Software Engineer, (Space) Mission Planning

There are two job postings for Staff and Senior Software Engineer, (Space) Mission Planning. The company is BlackSky, which IPOed in 2021. The job listings call for (among other things):

  • “working knowledge” of Go or Python
  • “familiarity” with Julia

The job is centered on implementing space systems mission planning software, both space and ground segments, including tasking & scheduling of satellites and ground antennas. The need is for a software developer who can take “development quality” code (in Julia and/or Python) and implement it in “production quality” code in Go.

The position requires U.S. citizenship. Location in/near Seattle, WA or Herndon, VA BlackSky offices is preferred. Remote candidates in certain states will also be considered.

Feel free to apply, and/or contact me for additional information.

I skimmed the two postings. The only differences that caught my eye were years of experience and salary range.

You can also find listings at the BlackSky Careers page (I can only include two URLs in this post).
