DEIMOS is selecting engineers for its Flight Software division, forming part of the Avionics Business Unit at our Tres Cantos (Madrid) premises.The work of the FSW division is oriented to the specification, design, development and validation of Embedded Software and Hardware systems for space vehicles, including Image processing, Encryption Algorithms, GNC systems, GNSS, etc.As a member of the Avionics Business Unit, you will work in a team of other highly skilled engineers across Europe (Spain, Portugal, UK, Romania), working on projects covering applications such as:Earth observation upstream and downstreamSatellite rendezvous, in-orbit servicing (IOS) and active debris removal (ADR)Entry, descent, and landing on planets (Earth, Mars) & natural satellites Launch vehicles Interplanetary exploration and navigation Unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs, UGVs)System and mission designThe selected candidates shall be integrated into an international team of highly qualified engineers and exceptional human quality. Likewise, Deimos’ transnational condition, could allow the candidate international mobility, developing his work from any of the company headquarters.Main Duties:The following responsibilities are envisioned:Participation in the entire lifecycle of the development of embedded onboard systems, including implementation on different target hardware platforms of real-time image processing or artificial intelligence solutions.Design and implementation of Software and Firmware. Participation in the Software and System validation and system qualification.Interaction with other different technical areas inside the Company (e.g. Artificial Intelligence & Computer Vision; Guidance, Navigation and Control), who are responsible for the definition of the specific algorithms that will be implemented onboard. Education:Required: A recognized engineering degree (Computer Sciences, Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications) with demonstrable experience in embedded software and FPGA engineering.Appreciated: Postgraduate studies (M.Sc or Ph.D) with a focus on software engineering, real-time software or embedded systems design. Professional Experience:Required: Engineer with minimum experience of 2 to 5 years in the practical application of the domains relevant to the post (experience obtained while obtaining relevant M.Sc. & PhD studies could also be considered as applicable for the position).The position will be tailored to the level of experience. Industrial experience in the aerospace sector and/or critical software development will be viewed positively. Technical Requirements:Required: The following capabilities are required for the position:Background in Software and FPGA Engineering, including testing and verification.Knowledge of implementation techniques for Image Processing or Neural Networks in target HW (e.g. Nvidia GPU, Myriad VPU, Xilinx FPGA/SoC/MPSoC), and associated development tools (OpenCV, CUDA, Vivado, Vitis, TensorFlow…)Good programming skills (C, C++, Python, VHDL) and knowledge of software configuration control (GIT).Generation of project documentation, including requirements specifications, SW design, and other engineering documentation.Desired: Experience in some of the following fields is desired but not indispensable: Internal MpSoc Communications (e.g. AXI).Communication buses, drivers and associated communication protocols (e.g. Serial line, Ethernet, Bus CAN, SPI, etc.).Development of real time software in embedded systems.SW and Systems design documentation methodologies and tools: UML, SysML.Knowledge of SW Coding Standards (MISRA-C).Appreciated: Experience in any of the following would be viewed positively: Multithread applications, real-time operating systems (e.g. RTEMS, VxWorks, FreeRTOS, etc.), or embedded computers (e.g. LEON, ARM).Knowledge of safety critical systems (space, automotive, railway, etc.).DevOps infrastructure: Continuous integration strategies and tools (e.g. Jenkins).Language Skills:English (Native or High level, spoken and written). Appreciated: Spanish. Personal Skills:Capability to integrate in and work within a multidisciplinary team, in a collaborative international environment with full responsibility on specific areas of the work under development.Initiative, autonomy and self-development. Rigor, commitment and reliability in the execution of the assigned tasks.Responsibility towards the customer and colleagues. Proactive attitude to solve problems, identify priority actions and handle concurrent activities and deadlines.Flexibility to participate in multiple projects or areas of activity.Flexibility for sporadic travels and/or perform collocations in different DEIMOS branches, or in the premises of the DEIMOS customers.Ref.: HRRECRUIT-976
