Job description

As a System Engineer, you will shape and coordinate the development of an advanced optical sensing and on-board processing system for autonomous space applications. You will translate mission and stakeholder needs into a coherent system architecture, requirements and interfaces across sensors, optics, electronics, embedded software and algorithms. Your focus will be system architecture, multidisciplinary integration, technical trade-offs and end-to-end verification.

Tasks

• Translate mission objectives and operational scenarios into system, subsystem and interface requirements
• Define and maintain the end-to-end architecture across optical sensors, multi-sensor hardware, processing electronics, embedded software and algorithms
• Lead multidisciplinary trade-offs covering performance, SWaP, timing, data throughput, robustness, complexity and development risk
• Manage interfaces, budgets, assumptions, requirements traceability and technical risks throughout the development lifecycle
• Coordinate integration planning and resolve cross-functional issues between hardware, software, algorithms and validation teams
• Define verification methods and lead system-level reviews, hardware-in-the-loop testing and end-to-end demonstrations

Required Skills

• Master degree in aerospace, electrical, mechanical, systems engineering, applied physics or a related field
• Experience with system architecture, requirements engineering, interface management and verification planning
• Ability to reason across optics, electronics, embedded software, data processing and mechanical design
• Strong analytical, technical writing and stakeholder communication skills
• Fluent in written and spoken English

Desired Skills

• Spaceborne optical instruments, camera systems or multi-sensor payloads
• Model-based systems engineering, requirement tools and interface control documents
• Reliability, fault tolerance, spacecraft interfaces
• Experience leading technical reviews and integration or verification campaigns
• Junior and senior profiles with relevant systems experience can apply.

What we offer

• A fulltime job in the Space industry, working with international customers and ESA
• Opportunities to grow
