Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Software System Engineer to support the certification activities of the flight software for the Nyx program. You will work in a dedicated team focused on verification & validation (V&V), software certification, requirements tracing, and system engineering interfacing. In this role, you will collaborate closely with software development teams, system engineering, certification bodies, and safety authorities. You will work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where cross-functional integration is essential.

• Contribute to V&V and IV&V activities to ensure that flight software meets functional, performance, and safety requirements
• Support requirements management and tracing, ensuring full traceability from system-level requirements to software implementation and verification artifacts
• Prepare and review documentation required for software certification and NASA Safety Reviews
• Interpret, tailor, and apply formal standards
• Interface with internal Product Assurance
• Collaborate daily with system engineers and software development teams to resolve technical issues and clarify requirements
• Use your understanding of C++ and Python to meaningfully engage in software design and test discussions
