Senior Systems Engineer

Our client is recruiting an experienced space industry Systems Engineer to join their expanding and exciting team.

Responsibilities:

• Development of spacecraft mission and system design including requirements derivation and CONOPS definition.
• Performing mission analysis and modelling of spacecraft missions.
• Trade-off and control platform systems budgets e.g. mass, power, data, fuel.
• Production of mission-level test and verification plans.
• Production of mission-level FMECA, FTA and FDIR.
• Performing rapid feasibility studies into different scenarios and architectures.
• Assisting with bid work, providing technical solutions and documentation.
• Maintaining configuration control of systems work and documentation
• Working with and guiding a multi-disciplined team in the delivery of projects.

Essential Skills

• Diploma; bachelor or master’s degree in systems engineering, electrical engineering or other relevant discipline.
• Knowledge of the systems and project engineering lifecycle from requirements definition through to verification, including experience of leading or planning for project review gates in satellite engineering e.g. SRR, PDR, CDR, etc.
• Experience in mission and systems architecture definition and CONOPS, especially understanding of both space and ground segment interaction.
• Experience in phase-0 or feasibility studies in satellite engineering where many solutions may be traded off in a rapid timeframe.
• Good knowledge of a range of subsystems & engineering teams including: GNC (AOCS, ADCS), astrodynamics, C&DH / OBDH, EPS, RCS (propulsion), COM (communications), software, ground segment & operations.
