A vacancy for an Avionics Functional Validation Technician mf has arisen within Airbus Defence Space in Toulouse. You will join the FV Infrastructure Execution department. The Central Engineering technical unit for Functional and Electrical CheckOut comprises departments in the UK, France and Germany. The function of the technical unit is to provide a central competence that meets the evolving needs of the business, working on satellite platforms, payloads and equipment. The department is responsible for the resourcing and technical management of the Functional Validation FV aspects of Telecommunication and Earth Observation, Navigation and Science ENS satellite projects. It relates to all activities that have been set up to verify and validate a system from a functional point of view. More specifically, this means integrating avionics equipment, test engineering, writingchecking procedures, producing test procedures, investigating anomalies, analysing test results and delivering test reports. The candidate needs to understand and handle the avionics tests set up with real hardware equipment andor simulators. The FV activity is based on a consistent use of simulation models and facilities, databases and procedures throughout all project phases, so as to achieve a consistent process for harmonised development and validation of satellite hardware and software, checkout software and checkout equipment. Process improvement initiatives are being constantly performed to make the FV more efficient and consistent across the various projects. As the successful candidate, you will initially join one of the projects as part of the Functional Verification team and, after an initial period of training, will be participating in the preparation, implementation and execution of functional tests on simulated and realtime test benches. Tests will cover the following subsystems Attitude and Orbit Control AOCS, Data Handling System DHS, Power, Payload, Failure Detection and Incident Recovery FDIR and System Control. The role will also involve working on support activities, for instance anomaly resolution and management, configuration control, and process improvement. Within this context and under the responsibility of the Avionics Functional Validation Engineer, your main tasks and responsibilities will include Establishing the necessary and sufficient configuration to perform the functional validation task. Validating the functional chains through endtoend openloop tests AOCS, DHS, etc. Validating the nominal and reconfiguration functions of the subassembly through closedloop tests Developing and debugging Automated Test Procedures ATP and scripts, in the dedicated language, working within a specified process and using templates and FV tools against a test specification. This will include liaising with the various project architects and domain specialists. Executing the ATPs on the various test benches together with test data analysis and test report compilation. This will include liaising with specialist areas for result data analyses, technical management and Product Assurance PA. Investigating anomalies and producing diagnoses determining root causes equipment, environment model, software flight, test bed, data bases, procedures, and test specifications. Producing test reports.
