Satellite Platform Electrical Systems Engineer

About the role

As a member of the Systems Engineering Department, the Platform Electrical Systems Engineer will provide technical expertise related to power and data interfaces, power analyses and budgets, failure analysis and functional testing for newly designed platform telecommunication satellites.

Key responsibilities

• Manage electrical interface control documentation for power, analog, digital and RF connections between platform and payload units.
• Support electrical analyses, budgets and design details for power generation, storage and distribution.
• Perform failure modes and effects analyses and support detection, isolation and recovery activities.
• Support platform test activities, including preparation and review of test plans, procedures and reports.
• Prepare total‑dose and single‑event effects ionizing radiation analyses.
• Write systems‑engineering documentation such as requirements specifications, compliance statements, verification matrices and design descriptions.
• Support satellite development activities, concept of operations and payload integration.
• Participate in program reviews (EQSR, SRR, PDR, CDR).

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in electrical engineering.
• 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Experience with system‑level electrical power generation, storage and distribution.
• Strong background in electronic unit design, wiring harnesses, data‑bus protocol standards and system‑level testing.

Required skills

• Electrical power generation, storage and distribution analysis.
• Electronic unit and wiring harness design.
• Data‑bus protocol standards (e.g., CAN, MIL‑STD‑1553).
• System‑level testing and verification.
• Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA).
• Radiation analysis (total dose, single‑event effects).
• RF equipment knowledge.
• Solar‑cell and battery technology expertise.
