🚀MaiaSpace is a European space tech company, designing, manufacturing and operating competitive and sustainable solutions for space mobility. We are driven by the belief that access to space is a major enabler for a better and more sustainable life on Earth, addressing the challenges faced by humanity: climate, resources, connectivity, and data. Our aim is to successfully design and test a cost-effective and reusable mini-launch vehicle by 2026.🚀

Modeling, Simulation and HITL Engineer

As part of the “Avionics System and Simulation Platform” team, you will be a central contributor to our model-based development strategy, focused on designing, simulating and validating embedded systems for our next-generation launch vehicle. 
 
You will be responsible for: 

• Designing, developing, and maintaining models, control loops, state machines, and simulators using MATLAB, Simulink and Stateflow 

• Driving the use of automatic code generation tools (Embedded Coder, Simulink Coder) to produce reliable, testable and maintainable real-time embedded code 

• Developing and validating control sequences, logic and mission profiles to be used in embedded and ground systems 

• Implementing simulation architectures (MIL, SIL, PIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) environments to support validation 

• Configuring and qualifying code generation pipelines for embedded and simulation targets, ensuring consistency with avionics and ground systems 

• Contributing to the DevOps integration of your developments within our CI/CD pipelines and simulation platforms 

• Supporting the integration of generated code on real-time targets, and participating in system tests, flight software integration and launch campaigns 

You will be one of the key experts shaping our embedded model-driven engineering practices. 

Requirements:

🛸General competences & abilities 

• Team spirit and solidarity 

• Curiosity, adaptability, and pragmatism 

• DIY and experimentation mindset 

• Autonomy, rigor and precision 

🛸 Preferred skills and experience 

• Expert-level skills with MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow for control system modeling and simulation 

• Extensive experience with automatic code generation tools (Embedded Coder, Simulink Coder) for real-time applications
