EVONA is working with an ambitious space technology company developing autonomous spacecraft capabilities, and we’re looking for a Flight Software Engineer to join their growing avionics team.

You’ll develop deterministic, safety-critical flight software for autonomous spacecraft, working closely with avionics, autonomy and hardware engineers to build, integrate and validate mission-critical systems.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Developing flight software in C++
  • Building software for RTOS-based flight computers, including RTEMS or FreeRTOS
  • Implementing FDIR, fault-tolerant control and defensive programming
  • Developing software for embedded, resource-constrained systems
  • Integrating and testing flight software on representative spacecraft hardware
  • Debugging and performance characterisation
  • Working closely with multidisciplinary avionics, autonomy and hardware teams

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
