At Vast, our mission is to contribute to a future where billions of people are living and thriving in space. We are building artificial gravity space stations, allowing long-term stays in space without the adverse effects of zero-gravity. Our initial crewed space habitat will be Haven-1, scheduled to be the world’s first commercial space station when it launches into low earth orbit in August 2025. Our team is all-in, committed to executing our mission safely and on time. If you want to work with the most talented people on Earth furthering space exploration for humanity, come join us.
Vast is looking for a Staff Embedded Systems Software Engineer, reporting to the Senior Director of Flight Software to support the development of the systems that will be required for the design and build of artificial-gravity human-rated space stations. You will be working under the direction of Vast’s Avionics leaders to implement the flight software for our Haven space stations. This is a unique chance to learn to develop world class software from our team who have worked on some of the most advanced spacecraft ever to leave the planet. Along with the flight software you will develop code and systems to test our software and avionics hardware.
This will be a full-time, exempt position located in our Long Beach location.
