Start your mission with DLR. The German Aerospace Center DLR has a dual mandate as the national research center for aeronautics and space, and as the space agency of the German federal government. Approximately 8,000 people work for DLR on a uniquely diverse range of topics spanning the fields of aeronautics, space, energy, transportation and security research. They collaborate on projects extending from fundamental research to the development of the innovative applications and products of the future. If the idea of joining a topclass team of researchers working in a supportive, inspirational environment appeals to you, then why not launch your mission with us? For our Department of Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems at the Institute of Space Systems in Bremen we wish to recruit for the Development of Embedded Software for Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems for Space Applications Four Engineers in the Field of Embedded Software Engineering, AerospaceSpace Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or similar Your Mission The Institute of Space Systems in Bremen designs and analyzes future spacecraft and space missions launchers, orbital and exploration systems, and satellites, and assesses them with regard to their technical performance and cost. It applies stateoftheart methods of multidisciplinary engineering in system design and analysis for example, a computerized system for concurrent design. The Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems Department focuses on the capability to analyze, design, develop, implement, simulate, test, and verify attitude and orbit control systems AOCS guidance, navigation, and control GNC systems for space applications and their components. This involves a range of disciplines, including requirements management, systems engineering, algorithm development, software implementation, systems analysissimulationverification, and hardwareintheloop testing. The GNC Systems Department is also conducting research and development of promising and strategic technologies for AOCS and GNC systems. The GNC Systems Department is involved into the Mission to the Moon of PTScientists, the first European Moon landing mission, as an official partner. The mission objective is to be the first private company to safely land a spacecraft on the Moon, to explore the area around the Apollo 17 landing site with two rovers, and to send pictures and videos down to Earth. In the frame of this project, the GNC Systems Department leads the development of the GNC subsystem as scientific partner. The work comprises the development of optical navigation technologies, the controller synthesis for descent and soft landing, the optimization of the landing trajectory as well as the comprehensive verification of all associated elements. Within this context, we are looking for scientific staff members to conduct the following tasks within the GNC Appliances Research Group Programming of flightcritical and nonflightcritical software for embedded systems in CC Implementation of algorithms in the domains of guidance, navigation, and control in software Adaption of existing software to new hardware, operating systems, and frameworks Runtime optimization of existing software and algorithms Planning, creation, establishment, and auditing of quality assurance measures and tools for software development bug tracking, internal programming standards, test strategies and frameworks, code analyses and reviews, etc. Test, validation, and verification of the developed software Planning and drafting of software architectures for embedded systems Departmentinternal consulting and coaching for software engineering Support for the execution of ProcessorintheLoop PiL and HardwareintheLoop HiL tests of GNC systems Production, technical review, and auditing of scientific and technical documentation Documentation, presentation, and publication of results Supervision of student internships, project and semester reports, and theses Commitment to group activities such as maintenance and development of laboratories, development and improvement of procedures, knowledge management, or acquisition of external funding Your Qualifications Required Successfully completed university degree on masters level or equivalent according to 7 II Tarifvertrag ber die Entgeltordnung des Bundes TV EntgO Bund in the domain of embedded software engineering, aerospacespace computer science, computer engineering, or similar Very good programming skills in C and C for safetycritical embedded systems Excellent knowledge of the software development process for embedded systems crosscompiling toolchains, debugging, profiling, etc. Profound knowledge of common hard and software architectures of embedded systems and realtime operating systems e.g., RTEMS, QNX, Rodos Experience with modelling software, e.g. using UML, as well as incode documentation along the software development e.g. with Doxygen Experience with using development tools like GitHub, GitLab, JIRA, Manits, Jenkins, etc. Profound knowledge about quality assurance measures and tools for software engineering Professional utilization of Linux operating systems and version control systems e.g. Git, Subversion Fluent in written and spoken English, ideally with work experience abroad Conformance with the personal requirements for handling of export controlled goods and information according to German, European and American export control laws Willingness to domestic and international travels on official business Desired Knowledge and Experiences Several years of professional experience with the development of embedded software with larger teams Modelbased software developmentgeneration e.g. using MATLABSimulink with MATLABSimulink Coder and Embedded Coder Application and tailoring of guidelines for software development like MISRACMISRAC, JPL C Coding Standard, CERT C, etc. Static and dynamic software analysis methods Hardwareoriented programming of software in Assembler, driver programming Practical experience with writing scientific and technical documents with LaTeX Scientific publications articles in peerreviewed journals, conference contributions, etc. Supervision of student seminar papers and theses Mastery of written and spoken German is an advantage Experience and successes with acquisition of external funding Your Benefits Look forward to a fulfilling job with an employer who appreciates your commitment and supports your personal and professional development. Our unique infrastructure offers you a working environment in which you have unparalleled scope to develop your creative ideas and accomplish your professional objectives.
