Description

GoSourcing Federal Gov't client seeks to engage experienced Software Engineer to operate from the client's facilities in Eagle Farm, Brisbane.

About the Project

Client requires an experienced software engineering professional to support the development, updating and functional enhancement of a Launch Mission Ground Software Suite. The requirement for additional support has been identified in several specific areas:

a) Development, updating, and increasing functionality of applications for: - command and control of experimental payloads - processing and distribution of telemetry data - live display of telemetry data (received from payloads via Ethernet streaming) - automation of laboratory hardware.

b) Development of plugins for the SIMDIS visualisation environment (C++).

c) Development of test regimes to verify the stability and reliability of the software.

d) Documentation of software, generation of user guides and training of operators in the use of developed applications.

e) Development of Mission configuration maps (C) and software interfaces to communicate with sensors and devices on and off board experimental vehicles (C / VHDL).

The project scope also includes a field trial deployment to a remote location within Australia for a period of potentially up to several weeks
