Full Job Description

****Job Description:**** **New projects in Air Power impose strong demands for optimizing the computing resources that host functionality of aircraft systems, as well as the physical means of conveying their functional exchanges.** **This need for optimization is responded by the move from the paradigm of dedicated computers interconnected through local buses to that of computers providing partitioned resources to multiple systems interconnected through an aircraft data network, usually based on Ethernet technology and providing deterministic features.** **The new architectural concept leads to the advent of shared computing platforms and aircraft networks as specific aircraft systems, usually addressed under ATA 42.** **Moreover, the architectural concept of shared computing and networks prompts a new way of working for the development lifecycle stage, with separate roles for architecting ATA 42, architecting user systems, developing applicative software and integrating the resulting software items into the shared computing platform.** **When expressing architecture of both the hosting computer/network systems and the hosted user systems, MBSE techniques present an enormous potential to optimize the subsequent tasks of integrating the software items into computer nodes and functional interfaces into network elements.** **This challenging context justifies a new position.** **_Tasks and Responsibilities_** * **System Architect for Shared Computing Resources (IMA) and Aircraft Data Network.** * **Development of system architecture in line with safety, human factors, security and performance requirements: specification, traceability, integration, V &V, certification.** * **Negotiate and implement user-systems needs onto Shared Computing Resources (IMA) and Aircraft Data Network.** * **Run trade studies to properly size the Shared Computing Resources (IMA) and Aircraft Data Network (processing power, memory, number of units per aircraft etc…) to meet the user needs.**
