Do you enjoy developing new products and services? Join us! Our Software
Engineers work in an agile, collective environment. You will be using your
skills and expertise to define, design, develop, test, certify and
improve cutting-edge software products. These cover a very wide range from
advanced mission payloads and electronic systems through highly integrated
aircraft to orbital and space exploration systems. You'll perform coding,
debugging, testing, and troubleshooting of systems and software throughout
our development process. Your technical duties involve the design and
development of new software products throughout the product lifecycle.
