I work on the software for a FADEC, a type of computer mounted as close as possible
to an aircraft's engine.
The FADEC's main job is to control and optimise fuel injection
into the engine.
The team I work with is developing a function to analyse engine
vibrations in real-time.
Would you like to know the three reasons why I love this job?
Then, follow me!
I'm always where the action is and I never have time to get bored.
I have frequent client deliveries
and each one is like a new challenge in which the entire team gets involved
and focuses on the same objective.
We have several types of deliverables: updates following patches,
client-requested modifications, tools, and documentation.
I specialise in Open Source software, which is existing software
that I adapt to the needs of aviation equipment.
Another reason why I love my job: collective wins.
I am lucky enough to work with many people in various trades: my software team members,
the electronics engineers, and colleagues from quality assurance
and industrial production.
As we manage complex software in complex development environments,
we are faced with frequent technical issues.
For example, a client recently requested a major modification
so the FADEC software could be updated from the plane's cockpit.
The entire software chain worked from the first attempt,
to the great satisfaction of everyone involved in its development.
The challenges in the field of onboard aviation software
will continue to grow, and the quantity and complexity of software in aircraft
will increase in the coming years
meaning that engineers will need ever more technical expertise.
I think this is what will keep my job so exciting.
