ALTEC is involved in several Science and Technological Programs in the aerospace domain where ground segment is a relevant part to perform mission operations of orbiting infrastructure, planetary exploration systems and orbiting systems with reentry capability. ALTEC has the know-how and provides the competences to design, implement and operate either the whole ground segment or part of it consisting of ground stations, communication network, mission control centers, mission control systems and P/L control systems.
The Mission Control System and Simulation group host the computer engineers, software engineers and aerospace engineers who oversee the ground segment from definition to end of operations; it develops and integrates the mission control systems and P/L control systems, implements ground communication networks, interfaces ground stations and prepare mission control centers to execute mission operations. Moreover, it is involved in the definition, implementation and test of operational simulator needed to support ground segment validation, operations team training and mission operations preparation.
DutiesYou will be part of the team that is in charge of all engineering aspects of the definition, implementation, integration, test and maintenance of simulators under the ALTEC responsibility.
You will work in close collaboration with the software engineer (in charge of other data systems), ground segment engineer, infrastructure and network engineer and mission operation teams during project phases.
Among the main duties, you will be involved in:
Analysis, revision and definition of simulator software requirements.Analysis, revision and definition of simulator software design.Coding and implementation of simulator systems exploiting the selected simulation framework, including unit and software system testing definition and execution.Prepare system related documentation (Specifications, Design, Technical Notes, User Manuals, Test Procedures and Reports).Use of debugging tools, perform troubleshooting and profiling an application running in a distributed environmentParticipate to periodic technical meetings REQUIRED EXPERIENCE & TECHNICAL SKILLS A MSc or equivalent degree in software or computer engineering with a high academic standing.
Knowledge of model-based techniques for system design (UML and SYSML standards).
Knowledge of Linux-based operating system and scripting languages.
Knowledge and experience with C++ programming language.
Knowledge of CMake software project management tool
Knowledge of software version control system tool such as Git or equivalent.
Knowledge of continuous integration concepts and tools such as Gitlab CI or equivalent (e.g. Jenkins).
SOFT SKILLS Problem Solving
Operational efficiency
Fostering Cooperation
Relationship Management
Continuous Improvement
ADDITIONAL ASSETS They are not mandatory but candidates knowing them will be better evaluated:
Knowledge of the MagicDraw UML modeling tool.
Knowledge of the ESA SIMULUS framework.
Knowledge of CCSDS and ECSS protocols typically used in ESA and NASA space programs, in particular CCSDS Transfer Frame and Space Packet definitions and ECSS Packet Utilization Standard (PUS) protocol.
Knowledge of On-Board Computer architectures and communication protocols (e.g. CAN, SpaceWire, MilBus, Ethernet)
Knowledge of virtualization mechanisms and basic knowledge of container technology (e.g. Docker or Podman).
Knowledge of Java and Python programming languages
