Senior Software Engineer (Satellite Communications) - Remote

Job Description

Job DescriptionOVERVIEW

Releady is partnering with a leading satellite communications and defense technology company to hire a Senior Software Engineer. Headquartered in Redmond, Washington and backed by over 150 patents, this privately held innovator engineers electronically steered, flat-panel antenna systems that deliver mission-critical connectivity for government, military, maritime, commercial transport, and public safety organizations worldwide. Their technology is actively deployed by the U.S. Army and in global disaster relief operations — this is high-consequence engineering at scale.

In this role, you will design and implement the algorithms that control how the antenna acquires, points at, and tracks satellites — then deliver the production code that runs those algorithms on real hardware. You will own the full development lifecycle, from simulation and prototyping through field deployment and post-delivery validation.

• Employment Type: Full-Time
• Location: Redmond, WA (Remote is an option)
• Compensation: $140,000 – $190,000 base + 10% annual target bonus + stock options
• NOTE: Must be able to work in the United States without sponsorship.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Algorithm Design & Implementation

• Design and implement antenna control software including control loops, acquisition, pointing, and tracking algorithms across multi-band, multi-orbit satellite systems
• Translate complex mathematical models into production-ready embedded code
• Integrate AI/ML technologies from the cloud to the edge device

Software Infrastructure

• Build and maintain interfaces, data pipelines, finite-state machines, diagnostics, and fault handling systems
• Implement embedded solutions in C/C++ on constrained Linux or real-time platforms

Cross-Functional Delivery

• Collaborate across hardware, RF, systems, and cloud teams to ensure system cohesion
• Drive full lifecycle ownership — from simulation through field deployment and post-delivery validation

QUALIFICATIONS

• Fluency in C and C++ with deep experience in embedded or real-time systems
• Demonstrated ability to implement complex mathematical models in production code
• Background in satellite communications, wireless technologies, or related domains
• Hands-on experience with Extended Kalman Filters (EKFs) and vehicle localization
• Practical experience integrating cloud platforms, IoT frameworks, or AI/ML technologies with edge devices
• Active Secret clearance or clearance held within the past five years — required
• TS/SCI — preferred
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience — M.S. preferred
