Software Architect

Founded in 2017, Airbus UpNext is actively shaping the future of aerospace by using demonstrators to evaluate, mature and validate new products and services.

Designed as a talent incubator, Airbus UpNext is a place where you can act and think like a startup while building on the strong expertise of Airbus, a place where you are empowered to challenge and test new processes and ways of working.

Our purpose is:

• To identify the trends that could disrupt the future of the aerospace industry and evaluate them to demonstrate their potential as a viable product.
• To accelerate traditional research cycles and prototype development to achieve proof of concept in a real environment and at a convincing scale and speed.
• To develop real-world applications for emerging aerospace technologies, thereby driving their maturity and increasing their value.
• To be THE reference for Technology Value Assessment

Our Values: #Keep it Simple #Be Audacious #Exploring Together
Our DNA: #Speed of Execution, #Caring for Each Other, #Open to the World

The new Airbus UpNext demonstrator will pave the way to more autonomous flight capacity by integration of new innovative bricks including computer vision.

This position comes with a CDI-C contract for 3 years, the timeline of the demonstrator.

Missions

Passionate and impatient about testing hypotheses and bringing learning into the business based on concrete demonstrations, you are the type of person who thinks about “how things can be done” rather than “if they can be done”. You are the type of leader people want to follow.

By developing a software architecture, you will make design choices, frame technical standards and experience in leading a diverse and multi-national team.

You will:

• Organize and dispatch the tasks to the software developer team, control the progress, and respect the procedure

• Set-up the development environment and define the associated tools, processes and methods.

• Participate to the avionic architecture, especially as regard as the core computer, and the vision based computer

• Participate in the integration of these components on the flight-lab, ensuring the adequate connections between the different techno bricks

• You are accountable for the technobrick(s) maturation up scaling and the formal assessment

• Guide and boost the team
