Description
Company Overview
Teledyne e2v is a global leader in specialised components and subsystems for innovative solutions in medical, science, aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. The imaging sensors developed and tested at the Chelmsford site have been used on humanities most important space imaging missions. These include the Hubble Telescope, Keplar, GAIA, Mars Rovers, New Horizons, and Rosetta to name but a few.
Space Imaging is expanding its portfolio of projects to develop Front End Electronics (FEE) systems for Space applications. The systems will include a CMOS detector, FEE, an FPGA (design code in VHDL), and a Microprocessor (MCU) as a complete system. The new systems require high quality Embedded Software and FPGA Designs to operate in Space with high reliability for 5-year long missions or longer.

Teledyne e2v are looking for a Principal Software Compliance and Verification Engineer to join their Team. We are seeking a key individual working in a multi-disciplinary team comprising of Product Assurance, FPGA Engineers, Embedded software engineers, and Verification Engineers.
The primary role will be to drive the creation of embedded software and FPGA development, verification and release processes in line with ECSS standards and requirements, and to ensure those processes are followed throughout the life cycle of the product. The successful candidate will ensure that all documentation, software and FPGA code delivered to the customer meets ECSS standards, and has followed our processes to achieve compliance. This will be achieved through review processes, including source code reviews. A good understanding of the FEE operation will need to be gained, as the candidate will be required to generate test plans and procedures to ensure that the deliveries meet all customer and internal requirements.
