Satellite Systems Engineer - Electrical

As a Payload System Engineer, you’ll be part of the Mission and Space Systems team. You’ll collaborate daily with the other engineers of the team as well as the operations teams and external partners. Your role will be instrumental in both supporting the performance of our orbiting satellites by developing deep technical knowledge of our current payload, and shaping the future of our constellation by contributing to the design and development of our next-generation payload.

• Serve as the technical point of contact between engineering, programme management, AIT, and Product Assurance.

• Serve as coordinator between AIT engineering and PA to ensure proper quality control and monitoring according to PA processes.

• Support project management with schedule planning and adherence, holding regular progress reviews with subcontractors.

• Coordinate the definition of requirements and ensure proper flow-down from mission to system and subsystem level, managing verification and close-out.

• Oversee the satellite system architecture and ensure subsystem interfaces are consistent and compatible.

• Oversee the work of subcontractors by reviewing and approving submitted designs, verifying compliance with technical requirements, industry regulations, and contractual obligations, and monitoring milestones for timely completion.

• Coordinate system-level technical reviews such as SRR, PDR, CDR, IRR, TRR, etc.

• Identify technical risks across the project, develop mitigation strategies, maintain the risk register alongside project managers, and prepare contingency plans.

• Plan and manage verification activities with the AIT teams, ensuring tests are conducted correctly, results are accurately reported, and final documentation is complete, accurate, and appropriately stored.

• Support the definition, design, testing, and verification of the satellite's electrical system architecture, ensuring subsystem interfaces are consistent and compatible.

• Work with thermal, structural, and payload engineering to ensure compatibility at the system level.

• Perform and support testing at subsystem, FlatSat, and satellite level, including reviewing test procedures, conducting tests, and evaluating test results.

• Ensure EMC/EMI compatibility at the subsystem and satellite level.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics or Aerospace Engineering.

• 4+ years of spacecraft or aerospace industry experience, preferably on large-scale constellation projects.

• Strong, demonstrable knowledge of space mission design, spacecraft subsystems and units, and their respective testing and verification activities.

• Strong, demonstrable knowledge of requirements management, flow-down, verification, and close-out.

• Solid understanding of electrical principles, design, and analysis methodologies, with the ability to work from first principles.

• Experience with non-conformance resolution, root-cause analyses, evaluation of requests for waivers and deviations, and risk identification and de-risking activities.

• Experience working with ECSS and relevant industry standards for space engineering.

• Proficiency in English, with the ability to effectively communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
