Our technical excellence and extensive prime contractorship experience extend across all sectors of the space business launch vehicles, manned space activities, satellite systems and related services. A vacancy has arisen for an OnBoard Software Validation Responsible with Astrium in Stevenage. This is a team leader position typically working with teams between 28 people. You will be responsible for technically managing the software validation team. Working with the overall software technical leaderresponsible, you will be instrumental in creating the software validation strategy. You shall be responsible for the validation activities of all the developed software components in compliance with the Software Validation Plan SVP as well as the specification, monitoring, acceptance and control of the associated facilities numerical and hardwarebased software validation facilities NSVFHSVF and the delivery preparation. You will have overall responsibility to ensure the correct calibration of the NSVF with regard to the tests run on the HSVF. Opportunities to travel work for periods in other Astrium offices in France or Germany or for reviews at Customer sites are possible. Limited in most cases to a few days, but longer periods could be available for strategic work needs. The Department is involved in the complete lifecycle of activities relating to OnBoard Software development. These range from requirements capture, support to System Software engineering, design, implementation, verification and validation, and maintenance. The software developed by this Department is of an embedded real time nature. Software is deployed within the Satellite, and Satellite Instrumentation, to provide the required Functionality and Control. Typically, the software would be designed using UML methodology implemented in the ANSIC language contain a number of hardware interface drivers and incorporate the use of a Realtime Operating System. Its application elements would normally include Telemetry Telecommand communications Attitude and Orbit Control Systems Platform system management power, thermal etc. and Mode control Payload control and management and Health MonitoringRecoveryReporting. Specialist applications will depend on the mission. We strive for maximum reuseinheritance of architecture component software in order to minimise program costs and schedule.

To monitor and control the validation activities components tests, integrated tests, HWSW tests, global tests. Coordination of the software validation team Projectspecific training, progress, technical support. Establish and maintain the task cost estimates of WPs under your responsibility. Perform cost and schedule monitoring of delegated WPs and prepares the Monthly Project Report in coordination with Project Manager e.g. tasks progress, risks. To guarantee compliant application of the Software Validation process within the project. Supporting capture formalisation of onboard software validation requirements of system. Support the definition of the software validation strategy, definition of the software validation plan. Coordinate the production of the validation specifications, the test procedures, the test execution and results analysis within agreed project cost planning budget. Verify the completeness and adequacy of the Software Validation Specification with respect to the System Software Specification and Software Requirements Specification.
