Space environment/Charging Engineer

• analysis, prediction, and mitigation of spacecraft charging phenomena – both external and internal — and the associated risks of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) on spacecrafts operating in GEO orbits
• ensures compliance with environmental and EMC design requirements
• supports the full development lifecycle from early design to qualification and in‑orbit operations

• University degree from a recognised Institution of secondary studies or equivalent qualification with relevant experience
• At least 2 years of experience on the requested discipline
• Experience with external surface charging analysis of external spacecraft areas (antennas, solar panels, MLI, dielectric surfaces)
• Experience with internal charging analysis within dielectrics, cavities, harness routing zones
• Experience in ESD/EMC protection strategies for harnesses, subsystems, solar arrays, antennas and dielectric surfaces in general
• Knowledge of plasma interaction theory and induced effects, electrostatic potential distribution, emission/collection processes (photoemission, secondary electron emission), and radiation-induced conductivity effects
• Familiarity with Space Standards (e.g. ECSS-E-ST-20-07C/-20-06C, MIL-STD-461G)
• Capability to oversee grounding and bonding architectures
• Capability to draft and evaluate documentation pertaining to charging/ESD verification tests at equipment, subsystem and system level
