Embedded Software Engineer – Trainee – (R&D)
Location: Granada, Spain
Our Technology
We’re the world leader in Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (R-PNT) solutions that improve reliability, performance, and safety of critical applications and high-risk operations, even in GPS/GNSS denied environments. We provide virtually fail-safe GNSS and PNT solutions for military and commercial applications worldwide.
We have developed industry-leading solutions based around ultra-accurate synchronization (sub-ns) and frequency distribution services, delivering a broad set of products and technical solutions based on enhanced White Rabbit PTP synchronization technology for a variety of applications, ranging from timing distribution in financial networks to robust positioning.
In addition, Safran has expertise in Time Sensitive Networking from aerospace engagements with ESA, providing deterministic communications with zero-packet loss.
Safran is a dynamic company focused on research and innovation, delivering dependable timing solutions.
The Position
As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer trainee, you will work with the R&D Engineering Team in Granada, Spain, developing the main elements of a synchronization system that extends White Rabbit timing over a free‑space communication interface. Your responsibilities include design, integration, and validation of prototype software and embedded firmware for wireless White Rabbit timing, such as custom Linux kernel modules, drivers, specialized images, user‑level applications, libraries, and test automation. You will implement extensions to the synchronization protocol for the new wireless interface, debug and diagnose issues, assemble experimental demonstrators, and travel to showcase proofs of concept during final stages.
