• Write and maintain C++ code for safety-critical embedded systems

• Lead the day-to-day technical activities of the software team across the full software lifecycle

• Organize, plan, and follow up on technical work

• Work with the systems team on software requirements analysis, specification, and traceability

• Contribute to and validate software design, implementation, and low-level testing (unit and integration)

• Apply and follow critical software development standards (e.g., ECSS, DO-178)

• Act as a technical referent, providing guidance and technical support to the rest of the team

• Ensure software development supports validation, qualification, and certification processes

• Collaborate with electronics, systems, and quality teams to ensure robust and compliant software delivery

• Conduct code reviews and participate in root cause analysis of software issues

Your profile :
