About the Role
York Space Systems is seeking a talented, cross-domain software engineer to join a strategic development team focused on rapid prototyping and advanced development across York’s software portfolio. This team operates ahead of program need, proving out new capabilities, de-risking emerging technology, and maturing prototypes for production.
Responsibilities
- Prototype and build software across embedded, full stack, and autonomy to prove out new capabilities quickly.
- Take problems from concept to working demonstration, then to production-ready handoffs as they mature.
- Pick the right tools, framework, and architecture for the job — and learn new ones as needed.
- Partner with program and engineering teams to transition proven prototypes into York's production programs.
- Contribute to the team's lightweight engineering practices; write code and documentation clean enough for others to adopt.
- Explore emerging technology — autonomy, ML, modern tooling — and turn it into something that addresses a real mission need.
- Ship demonstrations and take direct ownership of your work in a small team with minimal overhead.
Requirements
- BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a related field; advanced degree is a plus.
- 3+ years in software engineering or software related application.
- Proven track record developing and delivering aerospace software, and taking prototypes through to production.
- Cross-domain range: depth in at least one of embedded/real-time, full stack, or autonomy/ML — and the ability and appetite to work across the others.
- Proficiency with C/C++, Python, C#, and Linux; experience with Rust, modern other web/cloud stacks, ROS 2, cFS, or ML frameworks a plus.
- A bias toward working software and demonstrations over process; comfort with ambiguity and self-direction.
- Fast learner who picks up unfamiliar stacks, domains, and problem spaces quickly.
- Aerospace, robotics, or other real-time or safety-relevant experience a plus, but not required.
- Active Secret clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain one.
- Must have permanent authorization to work in the United States.
