  • Contribute to the onboard software architecture through design proposals and collaborative review.
  • Participate in the review and enhancement of software development processes and design standards.
  • Coordinate with downstream teams on the release, distribution and adoption of latest releases.
  • Directly be involved in operating the on-orbit fleet of satellites.
