Position Description

Do you have a strong interest in developing software for highly complex space systems? Do you want to take part in the Galileo program?

Your day to day activities

As a Java Software Engineer on our team, you will be working on a Mission Critical System that is part of the Galileo infrastructure. The system is characterized by a high level of complexity with the added challenge of it being operational and requiring next to 100% availability. Your work will contribute to the security aspects and data protection of this navigation mission. Your main task is software development according to the component and element requirements, which includes investigation, solution proposal, implementation, and review of code. You are responsible for ensuring all code you develop. Other responsibilities are performing peer-reviews, reviewing the required documentation and providing support on-site personnel from your expertise. You have to be willing to travel to client sites and other CGI offices around Europe.

Things you need to be successful

You are well-organized, energetic and have a high level of attention to detail. You have advanced analytic skills and are a quick learner. You have a strong interest in software development in a highly complex space system, are inquisitive and able to investigate technical problems. You also have:

  • A Bachelor’s degree with a focus on Information Technology/Communications (or equivalent), or experience demonstrating equivalent working level;
  • Experience with Object-oriented programming languages (preferably Java);
  • Experience in software design and principles is desirable;
  • Experience with GSWS standards or equivalent is desirable;
  • Experience with space projects is desirable.

Eligibility for an EU Personal Security Clearance at the level of CONFIDENTIAL and above is part of the selection procedure
