WG9 is looking for an editor who could help produce a new version of TR 15942, which is a Guide for the use of Ada in High Integrity Systems. The editor should have been involved in the safety-critical processes that the TR covers (see below and ISO/IEC TR 15942) and be able to identify the mapping between the various standards requirements and Ada features; the wider the roles they have played the better.
As a bare minimum:
-
Being an accomplished current Ada programmer.
-
Having as much experience as possible in some high-integrity domain.
Ideally:
-
Deep knowledge of modern Ada, familiarity with new features in Ada 2022, as much hands-on practice as possible, a current developer.
-
Experience with certification processes under standards such as DO-178C, IEC 61508, EN 50128, other recent standards that may be relevant.
-
Experience with embedded development and Ada profiles (Ravenscar, Jorvik) and restriction pragmas.
-
Familiarity with at least a couple of Ada compilers to differentiate compiler-specific issues from language issues in the build process.
-
Understanding/experience with run-time resource usage and measurements (WCET, stack usage, memory leaks…).
-
Previous involvement with ISO standards and documents, writing/using standards or, at least, technical documents.
The current version is based on Ada 95, so some significant updates may be required. The PDF for the current document can be acquired at ISO/IEC TR 15942 for free.
