To foster interdisciplinary teamwork between software developers and mechanical engineers on aerospace projects, it's essential to cultivate a culture of collaboration. Start by creating joint problem-solving sessions where both teams can tackle challenges together, blending their unique perspectives. Promote a shared vision by aligning goals and emphasizing the interdependence of their roles. Additionally, establish mentorship pairings across disciplines to build trust and deeper understanding, ensuring that both groups feel valued and invested in the project's success.

To bridge the gap between software developers and mechanical engineers in aerospace projects, foster cross disciplinary communication, establish clear goals, and encourage collaboration through regular meetings, shared tools, and joint problem solving sessions.

Check for hardware software interactions (e.g. ECSS- Standard ECSS-Q-ST-30-02C or during FMEA an Sw-Risk analysis) and discuss them with Sw and Hw engineers. Put the results into specs and ensure that they’re tracked and changes if those specs are following the change process (incl. documentation).
