Constellations Satellite Systems Engineer

• Acting as satellite chief engineer, lead the engineering team in the design, development, and testing of satellite systems, ensuring adherence to project requirements and industry standards
• Establish constellation concepts responding to customer requirements and needs, deriving from the constellation concept the constellation system, satellite, platform and payload requirements
• Establish Concepts of Operations meeting stakeholders expectations
• Define the overall development schedule of satellite systems, with a focus on technology maturation processes, establishing and maintaining internal and external dependencies
• Drive the adaptation of existing satellite product lines to ensure satisfying customer requirements while enabling mid-scale industrialization of the satellite concept
• Define the satellite product breakdown structure, and identify industrial partners for its development
• Maintain the overall engineering schedule for the satellite system, aligned with the development logic
• Remain accountable for the OTOQOC execution of engineering activities in the satellite system development and implementation
• Establish end-to-end performance budgets, ensuring flow-down of performance requirements to platform, payload, subsystems and equipment
• Maintain end-to-end performance budgets, including the bottom-up verification process
• Drive the verification and validation activities throughout the satellite lifecycle, from initial concept to on-orbit operation
• Lead / Contribute to the execution of program milestones and reviews
• The deployment of novel engineering methods, processes and tools (e.g. MBSE, multi-disciplinary analyses, concurrent design engineering…)
• The digitalisation of our design, development and manufacturing processes (e.g. DDMS), and their smooth implementation across all involved disciplines
