Le poste :

We are looking for an experienced Digital Payload Systems Engineer to join an international R&D team based in Lausanne, Switzerland, working on the development of next-generation satellite communication systems.

The position is particularly focused on the digital/back-end architecture of telecommunications payloads, from system definition and requirements downflow to integration, validation and in-orbit activities.

Your responsibilities

You will contribute to the definition and development of advanced satellite communication payload architectures, with a particular focus on digital and regenerative payload technologies.

• Define and develop digital telecommunications payload architectures
• Contribute to on-board processing (OBP), regenerative payload and digital processing architectures
• Translate mission and system needs into payload and subsystem requirements
• Define and manage interfaces between hardware, software and payload subsystems
• Perform system-level trade-offs and contribute to SWaP-C analyses
• Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams and external partners/subcontractors
• Review and challenge technical solutions proposed by equipment suppliers
• Support payload development throughout design, integration, verification and qualification
• Contribute to test definition, technical reviews and analysis of test results
• Support AIT/AIV, launch preparation and in-orbit commissioning activities
• Participate in major engineering and design reviews and provide technical documentation and presentations

Profil recherché :

Your background

We are looking for an engineer with a strong background in satellite telecommunications and digital payload systems, ideally with 8+ years of relevant experience.

You should have experience in several of the following areas:

• Satellite telecommunications payload architecture
• Digital / regenerative payloads
• On-board processing and digital signal processing
• Modem and communication processing architectures
• Digital routing, switching and/or channelization
• HW/SW payload architecture and interfaces
• Satellite system engineering and requirements management
• Payload equipment and subsystem development
• Integration, verification and space qualification
• Payload testing and/or in-orbit commissioning

Experience with RF communication chains, antennas, TT&C, FPGA/SoC technologies, orbital tools or satellite operations would be considered an advantage, but deep RF expertise is not the primary focus of the position.

A Master's degree or PhD in Telecommunications, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Space Systems or a related discipline is expected.

The environment

You will join an international and multidisciplinary R&D environment in Lausanne, working closely with specialists across hardware, software, digital communications and satellite systems.

The role offers significant involvement in technical decisions and next-generation SatCom developments, from early architecture phases through validation and deployment.
