Your role in the team
- Within the Digital Payload Centre of Competences of the Space Systems Engineering organization, you will join the transnational entity (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) responsible for Payload Processing, encompassing:
- Delivery of qualified on-board and on-ground processing chains (payload mission software / application-specific VHDL) for telecom and navigation digital payloads and RF sensing.
- Software delivery, operations, and functional validation support for optical and radar instruments.
- The local department in Ottobrunn is responsible for the entire development process of instrument software, including:
- Analysis of the requirements baseline provided by Systems Engineering via the SW Architect, defining the functional behavior of the SW.
- Define the functional behavior of the SW as SW requirements.
- Unterstütze das Instrumentenprojekt in allen Aspekten der Software (SW) und bringe dich nach dem Launch in das Instrumentendesign, die Qualifizierung und den Betrieb ein.
- Definition of Embedded SW Architecture (static and dynamic).
- Implementation of all functionalities as specified in the Requirements Baseline. Execution of HW/SW integration and functional qualification before integration into Payload AIT.
- Execution of all activities in accordance with external and internal software process standards (ECSS-E-ST-40C, ECSS-Q-ST-80C).
- Piloting continuous internal efficiency improvement, productivity and processes, industrialization topics for the Digital Payload Processing entity.
- Cooperation with the SW Architect and Electrical Engineering to understand the instrument’s overall functionality and requirements.
- Transformation of System SW requirements (SSS) into detailed SW requirements (SRS).
- Analysis of the feasibility of requirements for embedded real-time implementation (support for HW/SW partitioning).
- Mapping of embedded/real-time implementation constraints (memory size, CPU load, deadlines).
- SW Design (task scheduling, I/O, functional algorithms, SW mode management).
- HW/SW interface design (I/O, interrupts, timing).
- Implementation of SW requirements (coding).
- HW/SW integration and debugging – HW (JTAG) & SW (gdb).
- Execution of verification activities (coding rules, metrics, code coverage).
- Definition and execution of SW validation activities (unit testing, functional testing).
- Configuration control of software and validation elements.
- Generation of software documentation in accordance with the software process (ECSS).
- Working across disciplines with other functional domains (Simulator – FVI, Database – DB).
- Manage the schedule and costs of software development.
