As a Ground Systems Software Engineer you will work directly with the Turion team in the planning, development, and implementation of the Turion Space Mission Control System. This system will be the central nervous system of DROID missions and will be responsible for commanding and managing all DROID satellites. Your experience, creativity, and ambition will directly impact the way Turion Space operates as it continues to grow in scale and complexity.
Turion Space is building spacecraft to move things around in space and image space objects when they’re not, and focused on developing the dual-use technology required to ensure a sustainable future in space. They aim to build a strong foundation selling space domain awareness imagery data while advancing their technology towards an affordable solution for orbital debris removal and eventually asteroid mining. The founding team originates from SpaceX, and after going through the Y-combinator accelerator in summer 2021 went on to raise a $6.2M seed round and is launching their first DROID satellite in early 2023.
