2027 Summer Embedded Flight Software Intern

From the posting

The future of aerospace and defense starts here.

Ursa Major was founded to revolutionize how America and its allies access and apply high-performance propulsion, from hypersonics to solid rocket motors, satellite maneuvering and launch. We design and deliver propulsion and defense systems that solve the most urgent and critical national security demands.

Role Overview

As an Embedded Flight Software Intern, you will work alongside software and systems engineers to develop, test, and deploy real-time software for rocket engine controllers and airborne or spaceborne platforms. You will contribute directly to flight-critical code, microcontrollers, communication protocols, and hardware-in-the-loop testing environments.

Key Responsibilities

Write, test, and maintain high-reliability C/C++ code targeting embedded processors and microcontrollers.

Implement and debug low-level hardware communication drivers (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet).

Develop unit tests, integration tests, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation scripts to validate flight software behavior under fault conditions.

Debug hardware and software integration issues using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, JTAG debuggers, and serial telemetry logs.

Participate in software design reviews, static code analysis, and technical documentation.
