Overview

Impulse Space is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer for Camera Systems to design, implement, and maintain firmware for image capture and processing systems on spacecraft.

Responsibilities

  • Develop low-level drivers and control software for camera modules using interfaces like MIPI CSI-2, USB, SPI, and I2C.
  • Interface with commercial and custom image sensors, implementing robust and efficient data pipelines.
  • Implement camera configuration, triggering, and synchronization logic.
  • Support data capture and streaming during ground tests and in-flight operations.
  • Collaborate with image processing and perception teams to define firmware requirements and APIs.
  • Contribute to bring-up, debugging, and tuning of camera subsystems in hardware-in-the-loop setups.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field.
  • 2+ years of experience writing C/C++ code for embedded systems, preferably in imaging or robotic applications.
  • Demonstrated experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, hardware debuggers, and source-level debuggers to troubleshoot problems at all layers of the stack.
  • Demonstrated understanding of I2C, SPI, and MIPI-based camera interfaces.

Bonus Points

  • Familiarity with microcontroller and SoC architectures, especially those used in vision applications.
  • Hands-on experience integrating image sensors and camera modules into embedded systems.
  • Familiarity with image pipeline concepts such as exposure control, gain tuning, and calibration.
  • Understanding of real-time data handling and buffering for high-rate image streams.
  • Exposure to radiation-tolerant imaging design or fault detection in visual systems.
