Sr. Ground Software Engineer

Turion Space was formed with the vision of building the technology required for humanity's interplanetary future. Our short-term goal is to solve the most significant threat to that vision - orbital debris. The exponential growth of spacecraft and launch vehicles entering Earth's orbits has dramatically increased the risk of collisions. Even a small number of these conjunctions will lead to the inaccessibility of the final frontier. We are developing the technology to stabilize this threat. This challenge will also serve as a test-bed for future asteroid resource extraction.

As a  Sr. Ground Software Engineer, you will work directly with the Turion team in the planning, development,  and implementation of Turion Space ground systems . You will design and architect mission-critical applications that are used throughout Turion Space.
