Your role in the team
- Embedded Software Engineering
- Development of system-level embedded software for on-board systems (C, C++ or Rust), bare-metal, RTOS or embedded Linux
- Design and implementation of payload-close control and configuration software for reconfigurable Telekom payloads
- Design and implementation of interfaces between payload electronics, on-board processing, and onboard computers in close collaboration with payload engineering, systems engineering, and hardware and FPGA teams
- Consideration of real-time requirements, deterministic behavior, limited resources (CPU, memory, bandwidth)
- Software Defined Radio / Software Defined Networking
- Development and integration of embedded software for controlling and configuring SDR functions
- Assessment of control and management logic for beamforming, adaptive coding and modulation (ACM), channel configuration
- Close coupling of embedded software with digital signal processing (DSP) and FPGA- or ASIC-based payload components
- Analysis, evaluation, and integration of payload-internal data and packet routing, as well as the dynamic configuration of data paths within the satellite, taking into account satellite-specific boundary conditions (latency, availability, deterministic behavior)
