Software Gigs

Design and build software to automate RF hardware test systems for satellite components before flight, including test infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and production-scale testing orchestration. Write Python on Linux test racks to measure satellite modem, amplifier, and RF component performance against pass/fail thresholds, translating hardware engineer requirements into reliable automated test logic. Support manufacturing validation, on-orbit failure analysis, and enable factory operators to run environmental stress testing at scale. Own software quality, release processes, and work with SCPI-controlled test instruments, thermal chambers, and telemetry dashboards that drive ship/no-ship decisions.

Lead the design, architecture, and development of native Windows desktop applications using Windows App SDK, WinUI, C#, XAML, and C++. Define best practices for Windows development, drive accessibility efforts across Microsoft UI Automation frameworks, and take full ownership of feature lifecycles from conception through maintenance. Collaborate with product designers, UX researchers, and QA to shape the Windows platform roadmap. Diagnose and resolve complex bugs, performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, and compatibility issues while mentoring other engineers and conducting code reviews.

Design and own network security across Saronic's enterprise, on-premises, cloud, and maritime vessel communications infrastructure. Responsibilities include managing firewalls, segmentation, VPN/ZTNA, and wireless systems (Palo Alto, Cisco, Aruba); securing AWS VPC architecture in commercial and GovCloud; architecting secure vessel communications over cellular, RF, SATCOM, and mesh links with cryptographic key management; and building network observability and automation at scale. Requires 5+ years of hands-on enterprise network security experience, production firewall and VPN operations, L3-L7 networking fundamentals, and the ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance.

Senior Software QA Engineer responsible for validating Firestorm's avionics platform—embedded Linux and RTOS flight computers, drivers, middleware, and safety-critical interfaces. Will design and execute risk-based test strategies (feature, exploratory, regression, acceptance) across HIL/SIL rigs, build Python-driven automation for serial/CAN/Ethernet I/O and fault injection, and instrument diagnostics to isolate timing and state issues before Flight Test. Expected to own system testing end-to-end, validate robustness under degraded conditions (jitter, packet loss, brownouts, watchdog resets), and collaborate with avionics, autonomy, radio, and payload teams to harden reliability on aircraft.
