Space Sciences Lab, UC Berkeley | Software Engineer | Berkeley, CA | ONSITE FULLTIME | https://www.ssl.berkeley.edu/
You know that NASA mission control room where where a tightly-knit team of headset-wearing operators excitedly awaits telemetry from the latest space probe? That's where you'll work in this position! From its perch on the Berkeley hillside overlooking the San Francisco Bay, the SSL Missions Operations center directly operates over half a dozen NASA spacecraft that are actively conducting peaceful scientific research. We're looking for engineers to develop ground software for satellite testing, operations, and automation. This software takes a variety of forms and is typically involved with routing and monitoring telemetry, generating commands, scheduling downlinks, performing encryption / decryption, and more.
* Expect to work closely with a small team of other highly-engaged engineers while enjoying a significant level of autonomy.
* The work environment isn't corporate or startup; it's an independent research lab in a university setting. The engineering work is both interesting and impactful, and there is great appreciation here for engineers who love their craft.
* SSL is well-funded, primarily through NASA contracts, and has been for many decades.

Got Mars?
The Space Sciences Lab is looking for a full-time embedded software engineer to write the instrument flight software for the twin-spacecraft ESCAPDE mission to Mars. If you have experience writing high-quality, reliable software in an embedded context (in C using FreeRTOS, uC/OS-III, VxWorks, RTEMS, etc.), we'd like to hear from you!
About the position:
* The high-level requirements and tentative board design are complete. You'll come up to speed on the requirements and begin the software design, then move on to writing and testing the software. You'll support the software throughout instrument integration, launch, and commissioning.
* There are other flight software developers at SSL you may consult with, but this will be your project. You'll have a high degree of autonomy in this position and will work primarily with the system engineer and project manager.
About the Space Sciences Lab:
* We conduct peaceful scientific research for NASA, NSF, and other funding sources on a variety of platforms including satellites, rockets, high-altitude balloons, and ground stations.
* The work environment isn't corporate or startup; it's an independent research lab in a university setting. The engineering work is both interesting and impactful, and there is great appreciation for engineers who love their craft.
* The work environment is collaborative, supportive, friendly, and exciting!
* Like at startups, generalists do well here and there is flexibility to move between roles. Unlike startups, there is great stability. And a pension.
Is there a specific career site for the space sciences lab or is the only way to find out about openings by looking through all the ucb postings?
I have a list of sites I occasionally check for jobs and would like to ssl to the list, but there doesn't seem like an easy way to know what openings are available.

The Space Sciences Lab is looking for a full-time FPGA / Digital board designer for current and future NASA-sponsored missions.
About the position:
- We're looking for a seasoned and well-rounded digital board designer who has a solid background in HDL implementations.
- Experience in high-rel/aerospace and scientific instrumentation is a plus.
- The ideal candidate should be self-directed and be able to both implement the design as well as lead the subsequent integration and testing of the instrument.
About the Space Sciences Lab:
- We conduct peaceful scientific research for NASA, NSF, and other funding sources, on a variety of platforms including ground-based, high-altitude long-duration balloon, satellite, and rocket-based observatories.
- The work environment isn't corporate or startup - it's an independent research lab in a university setting. It's not the flashiest thing out there, but the engineering work is some of the most interesting you can find (e.g. Mars missions, solar orbiters, south pole observatories, sounding rockets).
I've you've got a solid FPGA and electronics background and would like to see your hardware in space, we'd love to hear from you!
