You will work on the development of state of the art embedded SW which will run on GNSS receivers capable of positioning up to centimeter level precision. As a SW engineer you will be working in 2 main areas:

Responsible for maintaining and writing new feature modules which can be re-used in a proper architecture to be integrated in our cutting edge satellite navigation products.

The integration of SW modules (glue code) into a full working system (mainly embedded) while being the main responsible to get a working platform with all functionality as well as to write the necessary code in order to integrate the final SW

Accountabilities:

Starting from requirements, you will design, implement (C), unit-test, debug, and document SW modules (platform integration modules and generic SW modules).

The sources you write, shall not only provide correctness but shall be portable to several embedded platforms thus you are accountable for keeping into consideration source code portability, maintainability, reusability, and CPU/memory efficiency.

When problems are reported by testers or by our customers in the field, you will look for solutions

You will use tools for: version control, source code documentation, unit testing, requirements management, and issue-tracking.

You will focus on: Integration of different software modules delivered by SW and GNNS engineers into 1 product, making sure that system really work (application threads, memory, cpu, configurations, etc.).
