Client and Location For one of our main customers ESAESAC, we are currently looking for a Software development and maintenance engineer to support the Mission Analysis and Payload Planning System MAPPS tool onsite at ESAC, located in Madrid, Spain. Tasks and Responsibilities Software engineer support is required for software engineering tasks in the developmentmaintenance or enhancement the SOC systems. The main services required include Write technical requirements for SOC and archives subsystems and provide flow down from higher level requirements. Analysis of functionalities of existing SW systems and assessment of potential reusability Analysis of requirements and propagation of impacts Perform SW architectural design as needed. ImplementMaintain one or more subsystemsmodules according to the requirements in the Greed language using the agreed tools Development and integration of scientific algorithms Coding scientific algorithms in specified language following detailed mathematical descriptions Integrating these algorithms into the SOC framework Testing and validating new implemented functionality unit integration tests using simulation data Optimize new code in terms of memory CPU usage Collaborate external scientists as needed Ensure timely delivery of SW releases and relative increments. Deploy and configure new versions of the systemsmodules on the validation and operational systems as requested Software Configuration, integration and setting up of operating systems and layered software. Support the definition of Operational SGS Procedures for procedures involving the use of SW. Training and supervision of SOC operators for the Operational tasks. Contribute to System verification and scientific validation Aid in the definition, conduction and analysis of largescale testing campaigns including a first assessment of the scientific quality of results. Documenting results of test campaigns in the form of validation test reports Contribute to the definition of Interface Control Documents ICDs and interface definitions. Provide documentation for subsystems and manage change requests via Change Control Boards Tasks and Responsibilities Implementation of new MAPPS features as defined by the users of the different Solar System missions, following the priorities set by the MAPPS SRB Software Review Board. Understand and improve the overall architecture of the extensive MAPPS software the team should take ownership of the project. Providing the MAPPS software deliveries following the existing maintenance and release procedures. Improving these procedures where needed, also considering the long lifetime of the software. Verification and validation of the software and execution of the test procedures. Further evolution of the test software, e.g. extending the test cases to cover new features and improving the level of automation. Provide firstline user support, e.g. helping the user configuring and using any new features, analysing potential bugs and providing fixes.
