We at Volocopter are pioneers in the development of electrical air taxis that take off and land vertically (eVTOLs). We bring Urban Air Mobility to life, by establishing air taxis in addition to current transportation options in megacities globally. Our aim is to offer affordable on-demand air taxi services and save people time by flying them safely to their destination. In 2011 we performed the first-ever piloted flight of a purely electrical multicopter and have since showcased numerous public flights with our full-scale Volocopter (www.volocopter.com).

Your mission during this flight:

You will design and implement the software that will enable or will be part of the autonomous flight software development onboard Volocopter (all product lines, and initial focus on VoloDrone).

Your tasks:

• Software Design and Release Process, based on continuous integration and implementation of industry standards for in-time assurance so that traceability of requirements and safety of onboard functions are maintained
• Overall SW architecture design (modules, functions allocations, interface requirements)
• Overall SW testing, integration, and maintenance framework also integrating with the In-time as enabling technology
• Create and align with the team in regards to the Software Requirements specification

Check in your professional skills:
