POWERING AEROSPACE FUTURE WITH THE NEXTGEN PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY

At HyPrSpace, our mission is clear: to make advanced propulsion technology affordable and accessible for a wide array of applications, from civilian to defense. With our pioneering hybrid rocket engine, we're introducing a new era of aerospace capabilities—more efficient, cost-effective, safer, and sustainable.

Joining us :

Join the adventure at HyPrSpace, where innovation, collaboration, and humor blend to create groundbreaking advancements in space propulsion.

As part of the #SpaceBakers team, you’ll contribute to a unique, patented technological leap, embarking on the full lifecycle development of a space launch vehicle. Immerse yourself in an environment that prioritizes a "test and learn" philosophy, ensuring your ideas not only take flight but soar.

At HyPrSpace, your work directly impacts our trajectory towards success, offering rapid skill development in an iterative, hands-on approach. 

Role overview:

As a Junior Embedded Software Engineer, you'll join our embedded software team to help develop and maintain critical software for our launch vehicles Baguette One and OB-You’ll work hand-in-hand with the rest of the development teams to bring robust and 
certifiable software to life for our launch vehicles Baguette One, OB-1.

This is an opportunity to build hands-on experience working on embedded systems that fly, while applying rigorous engineering standards in a high-stakes environment.

Your key responsibilities:

Under the guidance of a senior software engineer or tech lead, you will be an active contributor in the full development lifecycle of embedded software, from requirements to integration and testing.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Write and maintain C++ code for safety-critical embedded systems.
• Participate in system and software requirements analysis, specification, and traceability.
• Contribute to software design, implementation, and low-level testing (unit and integration).
• Follow and apply critical software development standards (e.g., ECSS, DO-178).
• Document your work thoroughly to support validation, qualification, and certification processes.
• Collaborate with electronics, systems, and quality teams to ensure robust and compliant software delivery.
• Participate in design and code reviews, and in root cause analysis of software issues.

Who we are looking for:

You are a recent graduate or early-career engineer who is motivated to work on complex and critical embedded systems. You are excited by the idea of contributing to real flight software in a demanding, structured development environment.

Your core qualifications, skills and mindset:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

Solid foundation in embedded C++ programming and real-time systems.

Educational or project experience in developing critical software (e.g., via coursework, internships, or academic projects).

Familiarity with software development methodologies used for safety/mission-critical systems (e.g., V-model, ECSS, DO-178, ISO 26262).

Comfortable reading datasheets, working with technical standards, and documenting your work clearly.

A curious, meticulous, and team-oriented mindset, with a willingness to learn from senior engineers.

Bonus points if you have:

Familiarity with microcontrollers, RTOS, or bare-metal development.

Experience with debugging tools, simulators, or hardware-in-the-loop setups.

Experience with Rust programming.

Some exposure to Python or scripting tools for automation and testing.
