The Hangar Careers

Aerospace Software Jobs

Software in aerospace splits into two worlds: certified flight-critical work under DO-178C and the broader ecosystem of ground-station, simulation, mission-planning, and autonomy software. The roles below cover both. Compensation skews higher than commercial software because the discipline is harder to find.
