Your responsibilities will span from gathering and documenting requirements to executing and evaluating tests and feeding the results back into the development process.

Your location

Located about an hour’s drive north of Munich, Manching is an up-and-coming market town that offers a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. Here, you can enjoy the quality of life in the countryside while the pleasures of near-by cities are still within easy reach.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Requirements Capturing Management (RCM): Align and capture functional, content-related, and procedural requirements with both internal stakeholders (e.g., SUZ EF User Help Desk) and the national German customer (specifically the Air Force and BAAINBw).

• Process Analysis: Analyze the In-Service Support processes of the Eurofighter weapon system, track process changes regarding their impact on ASTECS, and subsequently derive and document requirements.

• Test Management & Strategy: Implement the test strategy for ASTECS, including translating requirements into test designs (e.g., creating and enriching User Stories, acceptance criteria, and activity diagrams within Enterprise Architect).

• Quality Assurance: Support QA through test execution (both specific manual tests and automated test runs), evaluate the results, and feed them back into the software development process.

• Documentation & Templates: Create and maintain various documentations within the development lifecycle, such as Release Notes, the ASTECS user manual, and various templates within the tool.

Desired skills and qualifications

• Education: University degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a comparable discipline, OR vocational training combined with equivalent professional IT experience/specialist IT qualifications.

• Software Engineering: Sound knowledge and experience within software development projects up to the point of customer delivery, including familiarity with Agile development methodologies.

• Database & Tooling: Good knowledge of Oracle / SQL (Programming Language SQL). Experience with Confluence, Jira, Enterprise Architect (specifically UML knowledge) and QF-Test is highly desirable and a major advantage.

• Testing Expertise: An ISTQB Certification (or equivalent) as well as practical experience in automated testing are strong assets.

• Domain Knowledge: Previous experience with In-Service Support processes, particularly regarding flying weapon systems (e.g., Eurofighter), is highly preferred.

• Soft Skills & Languages: Excellent communication skills, autonomy, a high sense of responsibility, resilience, and strong assertiveness. Negotiation-level proficiency in both German and English is required.
