Finally, you will lead the equipment/instrument software level functional and software performance test campaigns and make sure the software component and test results are properly documented.
Desired skills/experience/knowledge:
- Master’s degree in software engineering, computer science, or similar by experience.
- Experience with ESA practices & standards ECSS-E-40/Q-80, hands-on design, development and testing, and embedded computer platforms is an asset.

Interested, but not sure you meet every single requirement?

If you were turning away because you don’t meet 100%, well, we’d still like to hear from you – tell us how you’re the best fit for the requirements you’re sure you meet.
