The main role of the applicant will be to develop and support
the software used on the Payload test system. The
development of the Test Software is based on the Payload
Test Requirements from which software requirements need to
be derived. During the test campaign, the test results are
reviewed by AIT internal customer the System Validation
Team and this may result in changes in these requirements.
The role includes support to AIT operation and support to the
PTS hardware team: the applicant may be involved with the
setup of the test system hardware; with its calibration and
with its utilisation during the payload test campaign.
