The Roku Culture
Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company's success rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. We appreciate a sense of humor. We believe a fewer number of very talented folks can do more for less cost than a larger number of less talented teams. We're independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku you'll be part of a company that's changing how the world watches TV.
We have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea.

Ideal candidates will embrace the commercialization of nanosatellite systems and adapt to low-cost, fast-paced systems design, development, and implementation methodologies that set Spire apart from our competition. In this fast-paced environment, the design to launch cycle is measured in weeks and months, not years!
What You’ll Do as a Senior Embedded Software Engineer:
- Design, implement and test, deploy and maintain embedded firmware
- Collaborate with other engineering functions on scoping, architecture and system design
- Resolve on-orbit and on-ground issues related to embedded systems
- Implement, optimize and maintain various serial protocols
- Design and develop interface tools to improve abstraction between the embedded system and other satellite components
- Debug and resolve complex embedded systems issues in a timely manner
- Write and maintain technical documentation
Key Skills:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
- Mastery of Embedded C programming language
- Proficiency with scripting languages like Python and Bash
- Extensive experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS), specifically FreeRTOS
- Familiarity with serial protocols and implementations
- Strong problem-solving skills, particularly in debugging embedded systems
- Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git)
- Experience developing on Linux (Ubuntu)
- A base level of mathematical knowledge (engineering mathematic or similar)
- Excellent communication and teamwork abilities
Preferred Skills:
- Experience with space systems or satellite technology
- Familiarity working to coding standards and using static analysis tools
- Experience writing Rust for resource constrained environments (embedded Linux)
- Experience with embedded Linux
- Knowledge of control systems and algorithms
Tools and Technologies:
- FreeRTOS for real-time operating system implementation
- GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain for code compilation
- GDB for debugging, complemented by extensive use of serial and/or CAN debugging
- Experience with debugging techniques for systems without JTAG access, particularly for remote issue resolution
- Familiarity with manual testing procedures for embedded interface code
- Experience working with Arm Cortex Microcontrollers
- Version control using Git
Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office.
Access to US export-controlled software and/or technology may be required for this role. If needed, Spire will arrange the necessary licenses—this is not something candidates need to have before applying. #LI-RK1
