    • Data acquisition, handling, storage, and downlink
    • Command handling and fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR)
    • Interfaces to avionics hardware, sensors, and actuators
  • Adapt and extend vendor-provided onboard computer software, and progressively reduce reliance on proprietary stacks
  • Define software interfaces and abstractions in close collaboration with avionics colleagues
  • Provide recommendations to systems engineering
  • Support software testing, debugging, and validation in the lab and during integration
  • Define software-related documentation, interfaces, and test procedures
  • Act as the primary technical owner for all flight software activities within the avionics team




Here is what you bring to the table


Must-haves:
  • Education: MSc in Software Engineering, Embedded Systems, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
  • 2-5 years of professional experience in flight software, embedded software, or spacecraft software
  • Experience developing software for space, aerospace, or other safety-critical systems
  • Experience working in small few-people teams
  • Technologies
    • Structure programming (C/C++ / Python / CMake) with git, testing frameworks, CI
    • Experience with ARM-based microcontrollers
  • Familiarity with ECSS standards
  • Understanding of space software constraints
