Software Engineer - Applicative
At Dark, we passionately believe that space represents not only a cornerstone of the modern world but also a catalyst for shaping our future. Our mission is clear: pioneering spacecraft and mission designs for the protection of vital orbits and assets.
That is why we are gathering a team of bright minds to tackle crucial challenges through advanced engineering. Our focus? Velocity. We are kicking in technologies that will enable faster-than-ever orbital missions, ushering in a new era defined by unprecedented agility and boundless opportunity.
Joining the software department, you will participate in the architecture, implementation, and validation of the software to control the HADES spacecraft. You will help identify and upgrade common libraries to be replicated across multiple software components, and build the complete control logic of the orbital vehicles upon them.You will interface with the GNC team to integrate the algorithms and centralize the hardware constraints to define the appropriate monitoring logic, driving the behavior of Dark's system.
First Missions- Getting up to speed on the existing software architecture and code base
- Implementing our inter-board communication: messages processing and functional behavior
- Architecturing and implementing a library to interface with our telecommunication system
- Implementing the features that enable control and monitoring of the spacecraft
- Guaranteeing the performances of the flight software, in terms of computational time and memory consumption
- Participating in the architecture of the overall applicative software solution
- Supporting integration tests and analyses
- Interfacing with and supporting other teams (GNC, electronics, simulator, embedded software, etc.)
- Contributing to the software processes and tools, to meet high-quality engineering standards
- 7+ years of experience in software development
- Ideal background from the Defense / Aerospace industry (e.g. MBDA, Thales, Dassault, Safran, etc.)
- Deep theoretical and applied skills in C++ and object-oriented programming
- Background in multi-threaded software conception
- Hands-on experience with real-time environment (RTOS)
- Familiarity with distributed software architecture and frameworks
- Knowledge of CMake, Git, Gitlab is a plus
- As we have an international team, knowledge of technical English is required. Fluency in French is a plus
Culture
