Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Working in a fast-paced environment integrating the Avionics software and firmware to achieve a successful rocket launch on a very aggressive time-frame.
• Redesigned the software stack around a Mapping Framework which automates the Command & Data Handling, Sensors, and Actuators, from the physical connections up to the Ground Station.
• The middle-level software was developed in Delphi and acts as the bridge between the rocket and the Ground Station software. Delphi 10.1 Berlin, Microsoft SQL Server 2012, GIT repository, BitBucket and JIRA, Spring4D, DUnitX, are some of the tools used to create the desktop applications.
