Pubblicato il 03-09-2026 - ALTEC in Torino
Mid-Senior Software Engineer (Mission Control) ALTEC is involved in several Science and Technological Programs in the aerospace domain where ground segment is a relevant part to perform mission operations of orbiting infrastructure, planetary exploration systems and orbiting systems with reentry capability. ALTEC has the know-your-know?how and provides the competences to design, implement and operate either the whole ground segment or part of it consisting of ground stations, communication network, mission control centers, mission control systems and P/L control systems. The Mission Control System and Simulation group host the computer engineers, software engineers and aerospace engineers who oversee the ground segment from definition to end of operations; it develops and integrates the mission control systems and P/L control systems, implements ground communication networks, interfaces ground stations and prepare mission control centers to execute mission operations. Moreover, it is involved in the definition, implementation and test of operational simulator needed to support ground segment validation, operations team training and mission operations preparation.
Duties You will be part of the team that is in charge of all engineering aspects of the definition, implementation, integration, test and maintenance of software data systems related to the Mission Control Center nominal activities under the ALTEC responsibility. You will work in close collaboration with other software engineers, data engineer, mission operators and infrastructure engineers during project phases.
You will be expected to endeavor for innovation and excellence in software engineering within the aerospace domain with focus on mission planning functions. Among the main duties, you will be involved in:
