Jobbeschreibung

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We want you as a talented Avionics Equipment Technical Owner to help us in our mission by designing, testing, and optimizing avionics equipment, ensuring compliance with mission loads and safety requirements.

You will be successful in this role if you are able to help us:

• Coordinate the internal design and development of avionics equipment in collaboration with our electronics, mechanical design, thermal and digital engineers

• Perform functional validation and qualification of avionics equipment

• Move units from first prototypes to Engineering Models, Qualification Models and Flight Models

• Flow down and validate requirements to unit level

Key Responsibilities

In your capacity as an Avionics Equipment Technical Owner, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:

1. Point of contact and full responsible for one avionics unit

2. Owner of the equipment from concept and breadboard phase to flight model

3. Owner of unit documentation, ICDs and requirements

4. Owner of box level FDIR and FMEA

5. Coordination of all disciplines working on a unit (electronics design engineers, mechanical design engineers, system engineers, test team, EGSE team)

6. Coordination and run of test campaigns (EM, QM, FM) covering functional and environmental tests (vibe, shock, TVAC, EMC) with the environmental load specialists

7. Analysis of test data after test campaigns

8. Definition of roadmap for unit improvement (between models and between flights)

9. Closely working with functional chains (thermal, ECLSS, Propulsion, etc.) to plan system level tests with the units embedded

10. Continuous Learning: Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and advancements in avionics design
