ABOUT US:

Astro Mechanica is a vertically integrated aerospace company building a faster, more connected future.

We believe that rapid, on-demand, point-to-point global mobility will become the new standard for moving people and goods across the planet. To achieve this, we are integrating our advanced airframe and engine technologies—which include Duality™, our proprietary dual-use propulsion system—with a new flight operations model to make supersonic transport as efficient and economical as commercial air travel is today. In the near term, we are developing adaptable, high-speed systems to close aircraft performance gaps for the United States government.

  • Support integration of software with embedded hardware and real-time systems

  • Write clean, testable, and maintainable code, including unit and integration tests

  • Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, propulsion, and controls engineers to develop and refine aircraft systems

  • Debug issues across the stack, from application-level behavior down to system interfaces

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or a Science discipline

  • 0-3 years of professional software development experience, including internships and research experience

  • Experience in C++, Rust, or other systems programming language

  • Proven skills in debugging, performance optimization, and unit testing

  • Ambition to work in a fast-paced environment

  • 401(k) program and transparent stock option plan

  • Self-managed and flexible time-off policy, including PTO, paid holidays, and sick time

  • Flexible work environment

  • Company-funded perks, including weekly team lunches and Astro Mechanica swag

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

At Astro Mechanica, we highly value in-office work to foster collaboration and strengthen our company culture. We consider working in the office five days a week an essential part of the employee's role.
