The Company is an aerospace engineering and consulting services company with an extensive network of experts and industrial partners. Our small but highly qualified team of professionals develops cutting-edge solutions in aerospace, propulsion and systems engineering. Our core capabilities are Design, Simulation, Assembly, Integration and Testing. We are looking to expand our engineering team, more specifically our Avionics department, with an experienced, practical and enthusiastic Software Engineer who is also a team player. This exciting but challenging opportunity involves software development for our embedded systems, which requires thorough software testing and software performance evaluation in order to satisfy system requirements. Additional software development may also involve desktop application development for ground control systems. About the Role Create and maintain a framework and development environment for different projects. Help manage software development environment configurations. Maintain git code repositories for software version control. Take responsibility for software versioning, releasing and baselining procedures. Help manage DO- compliance for the software life cycle development. Maintain existing embedded firmware code for aerospace and propulsion systems. Write new embedded firmware code for aerospace and propulsion systems, including new projects. Maintain / write embedded low-level drivers. Take responsibility to ensure that software complies to coding and development standards. Write and maintain unit tests for embedded firmware code. Create software testing plans. Compile and execute software test procedures. Document software designs and the results of software verification testing. Generate conceptual designs (software architecture) from system requirements and trace the design through a full development cycle to final integration and testing. Support testing of avionics systems and subsystems for propulsion products in a multi-disciplinary team. Minor scripting tasks to automate workflows or support subsystem testing. Requirements Execution of the duties and responsibilities pertaining to the position demands the following experience, skills and knowledge : Minimum BSc. / BEng. in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering or any other bachelor's degree with software development as a prominent aspect of the required coursework.
