OHB System AG – We.Create.SpaceOHB System AG is one of the leading space companies in Europe. The company is part of the listed high-tech group OHB SE, which has more than 4,100 employees working on pivotal European space programs. With two strong locations in Bremen and Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich and more than 40 years of experience, OHB System AG specialises in high-tech solutions for space. These include low-orbiting and geostationary satellites for Earth observation, navigation, telecommunications, science and space exploration as well as systems for human space flight and aerial reconnaissance. We owe our success to our employees' passion for innovation, as well as their commitment and initiative.

Embedded Software Engineer (m/f/d)

OHB System AG is one of Europe’s leading space companies. We develop and deliver high-tech solutions for Earth observation, navigation, telecommunications, science, exploration, and space missions with more than 40 years of experience. The company’s success is based on its employees’ passion for innovation, commitment, and initiative.We are building next-generation avionics using modern multicore processors and Rust as a strategic building block alongside C/C++We are developing a common application core for satellite flight software that can be reused across missions and spacecraft platforms. The software is developed using a model-based software engineering approach and implemented in C.As part of a long-term product team, you will help bring the application core to product-level maturity. You will then maintain and extend it throughout its lifecycle, incorporating experience and new requirements from its use in different satellite projects.

Your Tasks

• Develop and maintain reusable embedded flight software
• Refine software system requirements and translate softwarerequirements and architectural concepts into precise software models
• Develop, review and integrate generated and handwritten C code
• Improve the application core’s architecture, modularity,portability and configurability; refactor, generalise and port existingfunctionality
• Integrate the software on different processor platforms andreal-time operating systems
• Develop automated tests and verify models, generated code andintegrated software
• Analyse defects and deliver controlled corrections and productupdates
• Support product releases, configuration management andqualification activities
• Contribute to modelling guidelines, development methods,toolchains and continuous integration

Your Qualifications

• A degree in computer science, software engineering, electricalengineering, aerospace engineering or a related discipline
• Several years of experience in embedded or real-time softwaredevelopment, with a good understanding of resource-constrained systems andhardware/software interaction
• Strong programming skills in C
• Experience with model-based software design or a stronginterest in developing this expertise
• Understanding of software architecture, modular design andwell-defined interfaces
• Experience with automated testing, debugging and softwareintegration
• An interest in developing and maintaining a reusable softwareproduct over multiple releases
• Very good written and spoken English

Useful Additional Experience

• Experience in some of the following areaswould be helpful, but we do not expect you to bring all of them:
• Modelling and code-generation tools used for embedded software
• First-hand knowledge of Rust and its integration in embedded Capplications
• Verification of consistency between requirements, models,generated code and tests
• Product-line engineering, software platforms or configurablesoftware products
• API design, compatibility management and controlled softwareevolution
• RTEMS, VxWorks, Embedded Linux or another real-time operatingsystem
• LEON, ARM (Zynq/Versal), RISC-V or comparable embeddedprocessor platforms
• Multicore systems, concurrency and deterministic scheduling
• Static analysis, code-coverage analysis and requirements-basedtesting
• ECSS, DO-178 or another regulated software-developmentenvironment
• Spacecraft avionics and on-board communication technologies
• Knowledge of German

Working in the Product Team

You will join a team with long-termresponsibility for the common application core, from requirements to softwaremodels and implementation through integration, qualification, release andmaintenance. The team works closely with satelliteprojects that use and configure the application core. Feedback and newrequirements from these projects are assessed and incorporated into the commonproduct where they provide broader value. This allows improvements made for onemission to benefit future spacecraft while maintaining a stable and controlledproduct baseline. The position is based in Bremen andsupports a hybrid combination of on-site and remote work. If the position interests you but you donot cover every item under “Useful Additional Experience,” we would still bepleased to hear from you.
