Satcom Ground Segment & AI Software Engineer

Ground Segment & Ai Software Engineer

Airbus Defence & Space is working on a new satellite based communication system. The constellation of satellites will offer connectivity to the customer, allowing connecting elements through satellite RF and optical links.

In order to actively monitor and control the Mission configuration for the communication chain a set of new tools is under development at Airbus DS.

Such tools will allow actively managing the overall communication chain, including Space and Ground assets, in order to reach the needed coverage and performances.

As a Ground Segment & AI Software Engineer, you are responsible for the design, development, integration and validation of the Software which will allow the Mission and Payload Management by making use of AI technologies, whereas possible.

The Software will be partly developed internally within the team and will be partly subcontracted to internal and external Subcontractors. The application to be developed consists of a set of SW Modules which allow the simulation, commanding ad monitoring of a cutting-edge Payload, as well as the overall traffic configuration. You will be in charge of contributing to the definition of the Software requirements as well as performing general Software Design, Development and IVV tasks.

Your range of tasks will cover the entire Software Development lifecycle, from Requirements definition, Software Design and IVV. Your activities will be performed in close cooperation with the System Engineers, the SW Architect, the SW developers and the sub-contractors.

The holder of this position will be located at Ottobrunn and reports to the Software Lead.

Your tasks:

• Analyse customer requirements and contribute to the definition of the adequate internal System, subsystem and Software requirements.
• Support the definition of the Software Architecture, ensuring robustness and compatibility with already existing software modules and eventually AI engines.
• Develop applicative solutions to enable smooth Mission Management, possibly making use of Airbus internal / external AI services
• Support the coordination of the subcontractors, with particular focus on the Design phase.
• Conduct analysis on Software non-conformances, discrepancies and waivers
• Analyse data from validation tests to determine whether systems and processes meet required criteria and specifications

Skills required:

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Aerospace or other related Engineering

• Experience in BackEnd / FrontEnd Software Architecture & Development principles and methods (UML, Spring Boot framework, OOP, micro services)
• Experience with development or integration of AI engines in Software products
• Experience with Software IVV tools and methods (i.e. Orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, E2E testing)
• Knowledge of AGILE Development Lifecycle (Kanban, SCRUM, SAfE)
• Knowledge of modern Systems Engineering techniques and tools (MBSE, DOORS, EA, CAMEO) is a plus
• Experience with ECSS-40C process is a plus
• Ability to operate and efficiently communicate in a multi-national team organisation
