**At Rocket Lab**
Our family of Electron launch vehicles and Photon spacecraft are supporting a growing number of ground-breaking missions in low Earth orbit and far beyond. Right now, our team is deep in the development of missions to the Moon and Mars for NASA, as well as the world’s first private mission to Venus. We are looking for an experienced Senior Embedded Linux Develoepr to join the team making these missions a reality.

**About the role**
In this role, you will play a key role in supporting the development of flight software for both our Electron and Neutron launch vehicles, as well as our Photon spacecraft. You’ll spend your days participating in all aspects of software design and development, from requirements definition through coding and testing. And when we say test, we mean your software will be on orbit within weeks and months, not years. Thanks to having our own rockets and launch sites, we have frequent opportunities to test and operate our software on orbit.

This role is for someone who wants to see their software make a big impact on the way we explore space and use it as a platform for discovery and innovation. While your software settles into life in space, you’ll be based in our Auckland Production Complex working amongst the rockets and Photon spacecraft as they’re built and collaborating with the vibrant, dedicated, and talented people who have made Rocket Lab into the global leader it is today.

**Duties & Responsibilities**
- Maintain Linux kernels used for embedded systems
- Develop and modify device drivers to interface to programmable logic components
- Develop and maintain embedded Linux root file-systems with Yocto
- Develop and maintain comprehensive unit tests to run within a Continuous Integration framework.
- Collaborate with hardware-in-the-loop test engineers to verify and validate combined software and hardware functionality.
- Collaborate with systems engineers and embedded systems engineers in developing, documenting and validating requirements.
- Participate in review of source code changes and ensure all changes meet company coding standards.
- Participate in design reviews such as a PDR and CDR.
- Assist with on-orbit (and interplanetary) flight operations.
