We are looking for an Avionics Engineer - IVVQ
The job holder will be in charge of the different phases of Avionics testing: Integration, Verification and Validation/Qualification of Satellite Avionics (for all what concern Data Handling - DHC, Attitude and Orbit Control - AOC and Failure Detection Isolation and Recovery - FDIR aspects), up to final test report/documentation preparation and reviews with customer. The job will also include developing of simulation models for Satellite Real Time Environment (RTE) based on C/C++ compliant to ESA ECSS SMP standard.

The proposed job will imply the following duties:

• Real/No-Real Time test environment for Hardware In the Loop HIL Testing)
• Real Time Environment (RTE) Simulation modeling based on C/C++ compliant to ECSS SMP standard;
• Matlab/Simulink programming;
• Support to HW units specification and technical management of related procurement;
• To study/understand the design provided by AOCS/DHC Design Authority in order to develop a verification and testing approach;
• To develop and write test sequences for AOCS, DHC, FDIR aspects;
• Avionics V&V activity at Avionic Test Bench (ATB) level;

The working site is Rome, but it might be required working in other locations for short mid-term periods.
Short periods of 24h shift working across the full week might be required upon specific program needs.
