I am a software developer in various inhouse projects in the aerospace sector. The field alone means that I can't talk about 'everyday', since the complex tasks assigned by our clients consistently challenge our skills. Complex relationships are reviewed together and it's not uncommon to find unconventional and effective solutions thanks to the mutual encouragement within the group.“ 2014 Tamás Ziegler, consultant: „ If you have only ever worked in large corporations, you ask yourself: what are the most striking differences from the 'giants'? While you generally only know a small fraction of the colleagues in an international corporation, the almost family-like atmosphere at etamax is a real bonus. However, the same level of professionalism and structured working as in a large company can still be seen, not least thanks to quality assurance measures. For me, the great thing about etamax is not just the features I have described, but also the opportunity to prove myself in a wide range of sectors. The experience I have gained so far confirms that etamax has been a good choice, allowing me to state: if I had to choose again, I'd choose etamax.“ etamax space Sample Projects Software Engineering Software engineering for complex and often safety or business critical systems with highest quality standards • Development of complex engineering tools • Object-oriented and procedural programming languages • Multilayer models (data, application and user layer) • Web applications • Real-time software (embedded) • Control systems • Development according to life cycle models like the V-model 2014 etamax space Our Topics in the Field of Space Technology • Software for system engineering and mission planning in the space environment area. • Decades of experience in Space Situational Awareness topics (space weather, space debris, ...). • Risk analyses for single missions and satellite constellations. • Consulting services with respect to the European standard for the mitigation of space debris.
