Embedded Software Architect (all gender)

At Ascendance we are building tomorrow’s hybrid-electric aviation with ATEA, a unique Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft powered by STERNA, our in-house hybrid-electric propulsion system. We focus our efforts in designing an innovative, safe, silent, clean and affordable aircraft that will be able to blend into existing infrastructures and regulations to ease its deployment and maximise social acceptance.

If you are looking for a place where you will have a direct impact on very ambitious products, where you will work close to the hardware and where you can witness the result of your hard work quickly, board ATEA and come fly with us toward the future of aviation!

Your role : 

The Embedded Software Architect (all gender) is at the core of our constrained avionics systems providing control, communication, data exchange and HMI to guarantee reliable flight operations, by respecting the functional requirements as well as aeronautics authority’s constraints.

You'll derive the avionics functional and performance requirements onto the software leading to the design, implementation and test of the proposed solutions. You'll be responsible for ensuring compliance with standards (DO178/DO331/DO254) and discuss the applicability of these standards with the certification bodies (mainly EASA).

Your main responsibilities will be : 

• Contribute to warrant the DO178C certification path for our embedded software.

• More generally support the application of ARP4754, ARP4761, DO160, D0331, D0254…etc… for hardware and software development, 

• Ensure applicable safety standards are respected through our software development process.

• Propose the design and coding of embedded software to respond to SW requirements and high-level design.

• Contribute to improve our avionics software process development.

• Push forward solutions in terms of innovative algorithms and embedded constrained software applied to avionics.

• Support and drive embedded computer selection

Where do we stand? 

Founded on Ascendance's strong values, the whole team is involved in creating both innovative products to decarbonize aviation and an accurate company structure to support its fast development.

Full scale testbenches are ongoing while full scale aircraft development is running at full speed.

Sky's our limit, we are looking forward to the flight test campaign !
