Your mission

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain verification and validation plans for embedded software running on FreeRTOS-based platforms.
  • Create and execute unit, integration, and system-level test cases.
  • Develop and maintain automated test frameworks and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Verify real-time performance, including task scheduling, interrupt latency, deadlines, memory usage, and synchronization mechanisms.
  • Execute test campaigns on target hardware, engineering models, and simulation environments.
  • Analyze software failures, perform root cause investigations, and collaborate with developers to resolve issues.
  • Measure and report test coverage, requirements traceability, and software quality metrics.
  • Conduct robustness and fault-injection testing, including communication failures, memory corruption scenarios, watchdog behavior, and recovery procedures.
  • Support compliance with applicable aerospace software engineering and quality standards.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of testing processes, automation tools, and verification methodologies.

Your profile

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 2–5 years of experience in embedded software development or software testing.
  • Hands-on experience with FreeRTOS or another Real-Time Operating System (RTOS).
  • Strong programming skills in C and ability to analyze complex embedded software codebases.
  • Experience using Python for test automation and tooling development.
  • Practical experience with hardware debugging and laboratory instrumentation, including JTAG/SWD, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and serial interfaces.
  • Experience with Git and CI/CD environments such as GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar.
  • Knowledge of embedded communication protocols including SpaceWire, CAN, I2C, SPI, and UART.
  • Professional working proficiency in English.
  • Previous experience in flight software, spacecraft systems, propulsion systems, or safety-critical environments.
  • Familiarity with ECSS, DO-178C, IEC 61508, or comparable standards.
  • Knowledge of static analysis tools and coding standards such as MISRA C, Polyspace, LDRA, cppcheck, or VectorCAST.
  • Experience with ARM Cortex-M architectures, memory maps, and Memory Protection Units (MPU).
  • Experience with platform emulation, simulation, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), or Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) environments.
  • Familiarity with requirements and traceability tools such as DOORS, Polarion, or Jama.
  • Previous experience in the space, aerospace, or defense sectors.

Why us?
