Create and maintain comprehensive software documentation throughout the development lifecycle, including design descriptions, test procedures, and user documentation.
Apply expertise in real-time operating systems, such as VxWorks, to develop and optimize flight software that meets timing, reliability, and safety constraints.
Implement and validate bus communication and data interfaces using protocols such as MIL-STD-1553 and SpaceWire, ensuring robust and reliable data exchange.
Support or lead proposal efforts by contributing to system requirements definition, task descriptions, basis of estimates, and key tradeoffs in code efficiency, memory usage, and cost.
Support Cost Account Management activities by planning, tracking, and reporting on software development scope, schedule, and resources as required.
Leverage Agile software development practices to plan and execute work in iterations, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and deliver incremental value.
Utilize CI/CD pipeline tools, such as Jenkins, to automate builds, testing, and integration, improving software quality and development efficiency.
Participate in system integration and test activities with RF, digital, links, power-conversion flight hardware, and related systems, helping to identify and resolve software and system-level issues.
