Software Architect Eurodrone for Ground Support Systems

In the MIS Development / Maintenance ED & FCAS area of Airbus Defence & Space GmbH in Manching, we develop IT solutions that ensure the continued airworthiness of flying weapon systems. This includes the modular ground support system MOSS (Maintenance and Operation Support Solution). The RPAS Logistic Management Information System (RLMIS) is the development branch of MOSS for the European Eurodrone (MALE RPAS) development programme. The core task is designing the MALE RPAS specific architecture and harmonizing it with MOSS to extend the overall architecture.

• Getting familiar with the current system and software architecture of MOSS
• Analysis of the MALE RPAS design specifications and functional requirements
• Support in drawing up the MALE RPAS relevant product requirements
• Definition of the MALE RPAS specific system and software architecture, taking existing and new architecture concepts into account and ensuring interoperability between subsystems
• Modeling of the architectures in line with the applicable program requirements
• Support in the further development of the system and software architecture for MOSS
• Support of cross-project collaboration/cooperation throughout the development process (design, implementation, test and certification) to increase CI/CD efficiency
• Support in the development and maintenance of supporting tools & process automation (development, testing, DevOps)
• Creation and maintenance of documentation for the development and qualification of software and hardware in compliance with regulatory standards (DO-178C)
• Conducting architecture reviews and impact analyses when requirements change
• Definition and monitoring of the architecture to ensure system quality (performance, scalability, maintainability)

• Completed degree in computer science or comparable programs with a focus on computer science
• Relevant professional experience of 5-10 years, ideally in the architecture of complex systems
• Solid knowledge of software design, patterns and architectures, especially microservices, event-driven architecture and domain-driven design
• Good knowledge of SysML and model-based systems engineering tools
• Solid knowledge of cross-platform development of complex software systems, especially C# for Windows and Linux
• Very good overview of current technologies in the .NET Core environment
• Very good understanding of development processes, methods and tools in software development (e.g. Scrum, Kanban, V-Modell)
• Enthusiasm for working in a quality-minded and agile team
• Confident German and English, spoken and written
• Confident manner, strong teamwork, initiative, flexibility
• Analytical thinking to solve complex, abstract problems
• Experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Knowledge of cloud infrastructures
• Experience with automated test frameworks and static code analysis tools
• Advantage: Good knowledge of DOORS and CAMEO or other MBSE applications such as Enterprise Architect
• Advantage: Very good knowledge of Jira and Confluence
• Advantage: Good knowledge of the Microsoft product range (Windows, Office, etc.)
• Plus: Knowledge of the Eurofighter and/or A400M ground support systems desirable
• Plus: Knowledge of the processes and procedures of a flying unit in operation / maintenance / repair desirable
• Plus: Knowledge of the requirements for maintaining the airworthiness of flying systems desirable
