Aircraft Embedded Software developer

Aircraft Embedded Software Developer – Airbus UpNext Airbus UpNext is launching a new cross‑divisional demonstrator that will deliver strategic outputs to all Airbus divisions. It will reinforce knowledge and capacity to propose disruptive avionics architecture and advanced awareness sensors for future Airbus Helicopters products.

Following the initial exploration from VERTEX and other UpNext demonstrators, sense & avoidance technologies such as cameras and LiDARs, as well as aircraft robust positioning even in the case of GPS loss, will be further developed to a high maturity level for helicopter use. These technologies will increase the crew’s awareness of the environment through a novel Human‑Machine Interface.
