Junior Flight Software Engineer for Automatic Code Gen

Job title: Junior Flight Software Engineer for Automatic Code Gen

About the Role Indra Group is expanding its Space Engineering team and seeks a Junior Flight Software Engineer for Automatic Code Gen. The role focuses on architecting and implementing GNC algorithms in Matlab/Simulink, developing tools for automatic code generation and testing, and supporting integration, validation, and documentation across facilities.

What You'll Do

• Introduce the SW architecture in GNC Algorithms implemented in Matlab Simulink.
• Spread and maintain modelling guidelines for GNC Algorithms.
• Participate in the Unit Testing of the GNC Algorithm components (model and software levels).
• Maintain and develop in-house tools relying on the MathWorks environment for: generating code from the GNC Algorithms, testing in Model-in-the-loop, SW-in-the-loop and Processor-in-the-loop and obtaining artifacts from the GNC Algorithms.
• Implement SW components for low-level communications with sensors and actuators.
• Support the SW integration for creating the OBSW.
• Support validation in different testing facilities.
• Generate the documentation associated to the GNC Software (from requirements, development and validations plans, to ICDs and validation reports).
• Interaction with technicians from other Competence Centres inside the Company or customers.

What We're Looking For

• Education: an engineering degree (Computer Sciences, Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications) or a related degree (e.g. Aerospace) with demonstrable experience in computer systems and software engineering; Postgraduate studies (MSc or Ph.D) with a focus on software engineering, real-time software or embedded systems design.
• 1 to 2 years of practical experience in domains relevant to the role.
• Knowledge of Model-based design and implementation: Matlab or Simulink design and automatic code generation with Embedded Coder.
• Solid theoretical background in Software Engineering, including testing and verification along the Software lifecycle: SW verification and validation, Unit and integration testing.
• Good programming skills in C, Python; knowledge of software configuration control (e.g., GIT, SVN).
• Willingness to participate in the generation of project documentation, including requirements specifications, SW design, and other engineering documentation.

Nice to Have

• Experience in PIL/HIL test benches: RTTB, FVB, SCOE, EGSE; Unit testers for validation and qualification of software systems.
• DevOps infrastructure: Continuous integration strategies and tools (Jenkins, Bamboo, SonarQube).
• Practical experience in communication buses, drivers and associated protocols: CAN, 1553, SpaceWire, Serial, etc.

Compensation & Benefits

• Work-life balance with a flexible and autonomous working model.
• Career development opportunities aligned with your skills and aspirations.
• Continuous learning through on-the-job training and access to our learning platform.
