Description
A new space race has begun. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build innovative technology that solves the next generation of engineering, manufacturing, and operational challenges for space security and sustainability. OUR MISSION The peaceful use of space is essential for continued prosperity on Earth—from communications and finance to navigation and logistics. True Anomaly builds innovative technology at the intersection of spacecraft, software, and AI to enhance the capabilities of the U.S., its allies, and commercial partners. We safeguard global security by ensuring space access and sustainability for all. OUR VALUES Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together YOUR MISSION Software is the central nervous system for True Anomaly’s engineering and product thesis. Software bridges the gap between military objectives, theoretical astrodynamics and the human and autonomous control of spacecraft and ground systems. True Anomaly is seeking an experienced C++ Software Engineer to contribute to the continuing evolution of our spacecraft and constellation modeling and simulation software. You will work in a fast paced, interdisciplinary team to identify, develop, and deliver algorithms for modeling complex orbital mechanics and spacecraft dynamics and control. You do not need to have experience building space ground systems or experience in aerospace, but getting enjoyment from solving challenging problems is recommended. RESPONSIBILITIES Write well-structured, efficient code using modern C++ best practices (C++ 17 / C++ 20), with a particular emphasis on performance and maintainability. Maintain libraries that provide APIs in multiple languages to other applications within True Anomaly. Work with other internal teams who leverage our simulation APIs to plan and execute missions, develop advanced algorithms for spacecraft operation, and perform trade-space analyses. Collaborate with subject matter experts to identify and implement algorithms in astrodynamics, attitude dynamics, filtering, state estimation, etc. Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and sprint planning sessions to maintain high standards of software quality and adherence to project timelines.
