Within the Digital Payload Centre of Competences of Space Systems Engineering organization, you will join the transnational entity (France, Germany and United Kingdom) in charge of Payload Processing, encompassing:

• Delivery of qualified on-board and on‑ground processing chain (payload mission SW / applicative VHDL) for Telecom and Navigation Digital Payloads and RF Sensing Software delivery, operations and functional validation support for Optical & Radar Instruments.

The local department in Ottobrunn is in charge of the full development process of Instrument Software, as:

• Analysis of Requirements Baseline provided by System Engineering through the SW Architect, defining the functional behaviour of the SW
• Define the functional behaviour of the SW as SW Requirements Baseline
• Support the Instrument project in all aspects regarding SW (provide input to Instrument Design, Qualification and Operations after Launch)
• Definition of Embedded SW Architecture (static and dynamic)
• Implementation of all functionalities as given in Requirements Baseline
• Execution of HW/SW integration and Functional Qualification before integration in Payload AIT
• Execution of all activities according to external and internal SW 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 SW Architect and Electrical Engineering to understand general function and needs of Instrument
• Transformation of System SW requirements (SSS) into detailed SW requirements (SRS)
• Analysis of feasibility of requirements for embedded real-time implementation (support 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)
