Flight Software Engineer

Long Wall Company was created in 2024 to accelerate missile defense technology for the U.S. and our allies. We specialize in ballistic missile defense and are developing Cyclops, a low-cost, mass-producible interceptor. We also produce containerized launchers and offer low-cost targets for threat replication. The future of global security depends on defensive technology that redefines cost, magazine depth, and distribution to deter and defend against evolving threats. Join us.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

Mission-Driven Problem Solvers – The problems in missile defense demand ingenuity. We want engineers, technicians, and corporate professionals who approach challenges with curiosity, embrace failure as a learning opportunity, and stay focused on delivering the best solution for the mission.

Total Ownership – We seek those who take full responsibility for delivering flight-ready work while recognizing that no one succeeds alone. The best engineers, technicians, and corporate professionals make their teammates better, knowing that complementary skills create force multiplication and drive mission success.

FLIGHT SOFTWARE ENGINEER

DESCRIPTION

Long Wall is growing its flight software team and hiring Flight Software Engineers at all experience levels, from early-career engineers to senior and principal-level technical leaders. This is an evergreen posting: we review applications on an ongoing basis and will match you to the level that fits your experience.

Flight Software Engineers at Long Wall design, develop, test, and integrate reliable, scalable, and testable software for our launch vehicles and missile defense systems. You will work on flight software from initial concept through flight-ready systems - architecture, design, development, testing, and vehicle integration - alongside GNC, avionics, and test engineers to deliver software that performs when it matters most. Scope grows with level: early-career engineers own well-defined features and components with guidance from senior teammates; mid-level engineers own subsystems end to end; senior and staff engineers set architecture and day-to-day technical direction for the team, lead by example through hands-on work, and raise the bar for the engineers around them.

At every level, we are looking for engineers who treat reliability as a discipline: people who champion safety, testability, and rigorous engineering practices, take ownership of their work, and make their teammates better.
