The 1GZC team is a transnational and multidisciplinary team responsible for developing, delivering, and maintaining a rich portfolio of Aircraft Performance Modelling & Simulation tools. We develop the software that enables our aircraft to fly safely and efficiently in all flight phases and equip aircraft avionics systems with on-board performance data.
In this role, you will work at the heart of aircraft performance engineering:
- Low-Speed Flight Regimes: You will work with "OCTOPUS" (our certified A/C performance software built on Fortran77) and contribute to "Optima", a Python-based simulation backbone preparing the next-generation kernels.
- On-Board Tools: You will help evolve tools that generate and deliver performance databases embedded within critical avionics functions, like the Flight Management System (FMS).
- Future Innovation: You will help prepare for future advancements, such as single-pilot operations and optimized flight operations benefiting from new IT systems and computing resources.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The main tasks of the jobholder will be:
- Requirements Capture: Translate internal Airbus end-users’ needs into tangible objectives, software specifications, and user stories.
- Software Development & Implementation: Implement required software modifications with the support of an experienced subcontracting software development team.
- Testing & Verification: Perform software verification testing, including the definition of robust acceptance criteria.
- User Support: Support internal end-users (Aircraft Performance domain & Customer Services) by investigating and resolving identified problems in a timely manner.
- Project Management: Handle administrative and project tasks associated with the software portfolio, including the management of subcontracting activities.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Flight Physics and Customer Services colleagues to design the tool landscape of the future and grow your business process knowledge.
