This person will join a team of experienced experts contributing to the evolution of Small Satcom, working across the full project life-cycle from development and design through to AIT.
The end objective of Small Satcom is to enable communications, making this role crucial for project success. We are looking for someone with extensive experience in radio frequency and optical engineering (digital capabilities would be a big plus), who has worked on communications payloads in GEO environments.
Responsibilities
- Being part of the technical lead team of telecom payloads for Small Satcom product.
- Architectural design of communication payloads including RF and Optical.
- Budgeting and maintaining the main parameters of each payload (Mass, consumption, dissipation, and all relevant performance parameters).
- Manage and interface with team members responsible for other satellite subsystems.
- Define and analyse components of the telecom payload, including passive units, RF active units, and digital and optical components.
- Develop relationships with suppliers to define design and manufacturing AIT requirements.
- Define and prepare SoWs and specifications, working with the program team to assure the implementation of the design.
- Collaborate with subsystems to solve problems for efficient mission implementation.
- Work jointly with the AIT team to design and implement relevant activities for the payload at all levels (subsystem and satellite level).
- Develop test specifications and procedures.
- Perform subsystem documentation based on architecture, analysis, and units.
- Develop subsystem AIT (Activities of Integration & Test) based on the architecture.
Skills And Requirements
- Real-world experience with comms payload system architecture, requirements definition, flow down, tracking, and performing system-level analyses.
- Experience in design or implementation of RF equipment used for telecom satellites (SSPAs, TWTs, distributed amplifiers, phased arrays, passive units like filters, switches, etc.).
- Experience in design or implementation of digital processors (transparent or regenerative) for satellites.
- Ability to analyse data, derive conclusions, manage design documentation, and review and approve design changes.
- Master or PhD degree in a relevant technical field and at least 5 to 10 years of relevant experience in GEO comms satellites.
- Experience in ground segment is a plus.
