We are looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join our team. You will be responsible for the realization of a high performance embedded computing architecture to support our flight software in space. Working close to the hardware/software boundary you will deliver a wide spectrum of software components ranging from low-level, bare-metal, real-time operating systems, Linux based distributions with state-of-the-art packages to support onboard computation.
Within a continuous integration environment, you will contribute to the entire software lifecycle with a focus on the specification, design, deployment, test, integration and maintenance of software features. Improving and developing new features to shared libraries, adding additional capabilities to existing platforms, will also be a key part of this. Through these activities and by working with the key stakeholders in the development process you will deliver exciting new features and directly support ongoing spacecraft operations.
Tasks and Responsibilities:
- Contribute to the entire software lifecycle, focusing on requirements elicitation, coding, debugging and integration with the flight hardware
- Validation of features including integration with software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop test suites
- Scouting of the latest technologies within embedded software development and driving their adoption within the group
