Flight Software System Tools Developer

Flight Software System Tools Developer

MaiaSpace

Paris, France

We are looking for a flight software system tools developer to join one of our team in charge of the development of the Avionics embedded software.

Some of our missions are:

• Integrate and configure algorithms from GNC and tanks teams (code generation from Matlab).
• Integrate and configure all our different software together into a single flight software deliverable.
• Configure our flight software with inputs coming from:
  • The system team (command plan, measurement plan, ...)
  • The mission team (mission sequence, mission trajectory, ...)
• Provide other teams with information they need:
  • The system team (telemetry link budget)
  • The EGSE (Electrical Ground Support Equipment) team with the ICDs (Interface Control Documents) required for ground/board communication

Those processes can all be mostly automated using algorithms, APIs, graphical tools, etc. This work has already started, but a lot is remaining to be done. Your goal is to participate and drive this development. You will contribute to building an end-to-end pipeline from the developer that pushes code to the final software loaded into the launcher

Your work will consist mainly of two things:

• Understand the needs of the embedded software team and other teams we interact with. Those needs are not expressed clearly on a requirement document. This definition is a collaborative endeavor we will undertake as a team where you’ll have to be proactive and ask/understand/challenge us.
• Implement (mostly in Python) the glue between all the processes of our pipeline (e.g. code generation, auto configuration, system rules checks, testing, deployment, internal graphical tools addons, etc...)

Our way of working:

• Our team's hierarchy is flat; you will be given a direction for which you’ll have to identify yourself what is most important, identify our needs, challenge them, and implement a solution.
• Our code iterates quickly, and the documentation procedure is still being ironed out. You should be able to adapt quickly to changes in an environment that evolves rapidly.

Preferred skills & experience:

Proficiency in:

• Modern Python
• Bash/Linux environment
• Git

Good Knowledge of:

• Docker/Docker Compose
• Gitlab CI
• C and Makefile

We appreciate if you have prior knowledge of launcher ecosystems (lingo, system engineering, ...) However, this is not required.

Qualification:

• Engineering degree or equivalent ideally specialized in computer science
• Hacker/Maker way of thinking: eager to learn and love tinkering
