Company details
Do you want to launch your career in space? Join us! Whether it’s working with satellites, developing docking systems, or building science instruments, you will have the opportunity to do meaningful work in challenging space projects. At Redwire, you’ll find a welcoming and diverse team where you can learn and grow while having great life-work balance.
Function
As an Embedded Software Design Engineer you will be responsible for the embedded software development within the framework of a satellite equipment or a scientific instrument. You will start by designing the software and the code according to the requirements and specifications of the project. This should be done in close cooperation with Electronic Engineers, the Software Architect, and your fellow Software Design Engineers. Documentation of your code (in-line and in separate reports) is crucial for ensuring traceability and quality.
You will ensure that the flight software code adheres to MISRA coding rules and that the proper performance is met on all cases by means of unit, integration, and validation tests. You will be responsible for verifying your design in a simulation environment (assisted by Continuous Integration tools) as well as on the actual hardware.
Finally, you will participate in the equipment/instrument level functional and performance test campaigns before handing over the developed software (including proper documentation) to the client (internal/external).
Profile
• Master’s degree in software engineering, computer science, or similar by experience.
• Experience with ESA practices & software standards ECSS-E-40/Q-80, hands-on design, development and testing, and embedded computer platforms is an asset.
• Working knowledge of (micro) electronics is an absolute must.
• Familiar with C and/or C++ and Python.
