ABOUT US
Shape the Future of Connectivity at Airbus!
The landscape of aircraft connectivity is rapidly transforming. Passengers expect seamless, high-speed communication, mirroring their ground experience. This demand, coupled with the emergence of groundbreaking “new space” technologies is driving a revolution in external communication systems. We’re at the forefront of integrating cutting-edge solutions, from advanced satellite links to innovative antenna technologies in software defined networks, all aimed at bringing unprecedented connectivity to commercial aircraft cabins. These are solutions not yet widely available, and with our HBCplus system we’re making them a reality.
To meet these exciting challenges and deliver on our strategic vision, we’re extending our system engineering team with IT expertise for the HBCplus system development project. If you’re ready to define the next generation of aerospace communication, and bring your commitment and passion to high-impact projects, we invite you to connect with us.
You will be a team member of a highly-skilled, collaborative and supportive team with a “Can Do” mindset.
YOUR MISSION
You will be part of the Cabin & Cargo engineering team, contributing to the strategic HBCplus project which directly enhances the future of connectivity and in-flight experiences for Airbus aircraft programs according to priorities and needs.
We’re looking for a Software Integration Specialist / Computing & Communication Development Responsible
- You will be responsible for the complex integration of software components at both the system and equipment level, with a particular focus on managing challenging interfaces internally between equipment and externally to other systems. You will use your deep expertise in the full integration lifecycle of airborne communication systems, from rigorous specification and test definition over execution, validation and verification to post-deployment support.
REQUIRED SKILLS
- Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Alternatively a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical engineering with a strong IT background or IT experience.
- Strong experience in specifying, implementing, and troubleshooting challenging software interfaces (e.g., various communication protocols, data formats).
- Deep understanding of software integration principles, methodologies, and best practices for complex systems.
- A background in software verification and validation, including test plan development, test case design, execution, and defect management. Ideally in an aviation environment.
- Analytical and problem-solving skills with a strong ability to diagnose and resolve intricate technical issues in integrated environments with attention to detail.
- Ability to identify simple integration approaches, always prioritizing practical, down-to-earth solutions over unnecessary complexity.
- Skills in negotiation of technical interfaces and solutions with external teams and vendors to achieve the simplest, most efficient, and most robust integration possible, taking into account practical constraints (e.g., legacy systems, budget, timelines).
- Ability to influence stakeholders towards standardized, less complex integration approaches that minimize long-term maintenance and risk.
- Strong understanding of standard networking protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, MPLS, VPNs)
- Deep understanding of core data security principles, common security vulnerabilities and how to mitigate them in integrated systems.
- Knowledge of the following technical disciplines: mobile telecommunications technologies, WiFi technologies, IoT and/or avionics systems, virtualization solutions and IT protocols
- Knowledge of Airbus projects/architectures such as HBC+, FSA-NG, ALNA, FCMS is an advantage
- Experience with RBE tools (DOORS etc.)
PREFERRED SKILLS
- Familiarity with coding practices and threat modeling techniques is a plus.
- Familiarity with RF engineering is a benefit.
- Experience in agile development methods Agile/Scrum and DevOPS environments is a plus
