Coaches for software engineering, systems engineering and project management
We support development teams from technology selection and process consulting to specific training courses and workshops. This means our customers can be sure that their software team is well equipped and confident from the start of the project right through to market launch.
With our space software coaching, we make a significant and lasting contribution to business success, because first-class software development increases business success and competitiveness.
When getting started is difficult: tenics offers start-up support with software consulting and project consulting.
“A good start is crucial! We at tenics know this from our own experience. That’s why we not only support established development teams in optimising their processes, but also accompany newly founded teams and young space start-ups from the ground up. With all our technical expertise, rolled-up sleeves and in-depth knowledge of what can go wrong in everyday work – and how to develop excellent space software with a well-structured team and tailor-made process design. On time, within budget and in a way that is fun again.”
Dirk Roßkamp, software coaching expert at tenics
Why good consulting is so crucial for space software processes
Space systems and software are complex. Many projects go awry after a smooth start, often due to:
- Unclear interface definitions
- Unclear work processes
- Missing architectural decisions
- Communication gaps between system, hardware and software
- Insufficient or delayed V&V planning
- Lack of knowledge about what should actually be done for ECSS compliance
- Late hardware/software integration
We channel expertise into productive avenues. As development facilitators for space software projects, we support technical management, thereby relieving internal teams, strengthening decision-making bases and making the project more secure.
Space software sonsulting by tenics: Agile. Fast. Proactive.
- We focus on the points in the development cycle where we can create or increase productivity.
- Our coaches provide support from the very beginning – in setting up individual work structures and in process design.
- We support young companies and space software engineering teams through the process in the most accessible way possible and on an equal footing.
- We also provide operational support when we act as an extended arm in developing complex space software or parts thereof.
Our fields of action
tenics supports teams where the leverage effect is greatest.
Software
engineering
consulting
We provide technical and practical advice on flight software, embedded systems, real-time concepts, FDIR, safety and CI/CD for space software.
Interface and integration
support
We harmonise interfaces, perform ICD checks before conflicts arise, and support the establishment of automated processes for code and documentation generation. We also offer support through early system integration.
Verification,
testing and
integration
Whether SIL, PIL, HIL or Digital Twin – we develop V&V strategies that minimize integration loops and significantly reduce mission risks.
