•Experience with satellite integration, test and operations.

•Experience leading satellite software development efforts from requirements through flight qualification testing.

•Shall develop, maintain, and enhance complex and diverse software systems based upon documented requirements.

•Shall provide specific input to the software components of a system design to include hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, use of COTS/GOTS in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components.

•Shall design, implement, and integrate software applications or performs software engineering tasks.

•Shall utilize software engineering and design methodologies appropriate to the development, integration, and production environment.

•Shall ensure efficient delivery of software engineering capabilities using industry standards and repeatable processes.

•Shall mitigates risks, control costs and schedule variance, and effectively manages large scale, integrated software projects.

•Shall review and tests software components for adherence to the design requirements and documents test results.

•Shall perform comprehensive testing on computer hardware and software components to evaluate operational and performance compliance of the overall systems.

•Shall develop under the real-time constrains of deadlines, task schedules, rates, task priorities, watchdog timers, interrupts, latency and jitter of soft and hard real-time operating systems.

•Shall manage and mitigates interprocess communications leveraging message queues, mutex, semaphores, blocking and non-blocking operations in multi-threaded software implementations.

•Shall design and develop distributed software systems leveraging multiple software, hardware, and communication technologies.

•Shall utilize standard communications ports and interfaces to facilitate communication between processes, processors, computers, and peripheral systems.

•Shall develop hardware and application specific boot code for establishing baseline services and loading OS and application code into execution memory.

•Shall assess and make recommendations on processor, memory and single board computer configurations which meet the compatibility, performance, memory and interface requirements of the system.

•Shall provide engineering support of the flight and ground system design and development team to assure system integrity, standards are applied where practical, new and emerging technologies are exploited to the required extent, and the system is developed with the goal of reuse of applicable software components in both ground and space systems to reduce development time and cost.

•Shall design and development of all software related to spacecraft bus functions, instrument control, and onboard data processing.

•Shall develop software for both run-time external commanding, controlling, and configuring; as well as run-time delivery of status, event logs, state of health and telemetry.

•Shall develop safety-critical applications capable of detecting software and hardware fault and responding to faults in a prescribed manner through isolation or recovery.

•Shall develop software control of flight systems leveraging real-time sensing and actuating interfaces

•Shall evaluate and apply advanced mathematical methods and algorithms in software solutions which meet the control and performance requirements of flight systems.
