Wanna join the adventure?

Loft’s Onboard Software group provides the on-orbit software that powers our core products. This is responsible for monitoring and control of major space program elements, including:

  • Flight Products computational environments (including physical and virtual processors);

  • Interfaces with external equipment (imagers, RF, ISL); and

  • Interfaces with the spacecraft bus.

Hyperdrive is the common platform powering every onboard service across our spacecraft.
The team builds the core capabilities other onboard services need to run mission logic—from interactions and housekeeping to events, automated fault detection and recovery, and lifecycle management.
By making complex spacecraft software consistent, observable, and resilient, Hyperdrive helps teams move faster while keeping missions safe in orbit.

  • 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.
