Job Description & How to Apply Below
Zachary Piper Solutions is seeking a Ground Systems Integration Engineer (Active TS/SCI required) to join Quindar, the startup founded by the ex-One Web team that operated one of the largest constellations ever built. This is a true builder role: every week you’ll take a new satellite’s ICD, translate it into working command & telemetry inside Quindar’s cloud‑native platform, and get it talking flawlessly over CCSDS, CSP, CFDP, XTCE.
Think low‑level protocol parsing, real‑time debugging with simulators and hardware‑in‑the‑loop, and turning raw spacecraft frames into something operators can use with a single click.
- Write the code (mostly Python & C++) that connects flight software to Quindar’s mission management platform
- Build command dictionaries, telemetry parsers, and automation scripts from vendor ICDs
- Debug timing issues, dropped packets, encryption handshakes (AES‑256, etc.), and weird edge cases at 2 a.m. when the bird is on‑orbit
- Work directly with spacecraft teams and Quindar’s platform engineers to proliferate solutions across entire constellations
- Active TS/SCI clearance
- 3–8 years doing satellite C2, ground software integration, or hardware‑software problems
- Strong Python and/or C++ (Rust ideal)
- Hands‑on experience with CCSDS, CSP, CFDP, XTCE, MIB, COSMOS/OpenC3, or equivalent
- Willing to be at the Los Angeles, CA sit 2–3 days per week (rest is remote)
- Compensation: $110,000 – $170,000 + equity + full benefits
- Unlimited PTO (with 15 days mandatory)
