• Support software development of additional applications e.g. for real-time operations of ispace missions and for processing of ispace and third-party data
• Execute full software development life cycle for new applications and perform testing and deployment of new version of applications and tools e.g. in the Kubernetes cluster
• Occasionally work with Geographic Information Systems (like ArcGIS or QGIS) to help perform computations and create datasets
• Support development of embedded software applications for ispace rovers and other assets
• Contribute to improve the development, deployment, implementation practices (Continuous integration, Testing…)
• Support business development and sales activity as expert in software discipline and ispace software solutions
• Thrive in multi-disciplinary environment in close cooperation with engineering and business teams
