Description du poste

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecrafts for humanity.

Our Future Projects unit is dedicated to expanding and complementing these capabilities by conceptualizing and pre-developing new technologies, products and programs.

We want you as a talented systems engineer to help us in our mission by conceptualizing new technologies and products, characterizing stakeholders and use cases, translating these needs into system architectures, breaking them down into functional, specification and product trees, define and manage requirements and interfaces, and support technical trade-offs with a cross-functional engineering team. You will be part of the Future Projects Team working on the development of a robotic orbital station aiming at supporting the In Space Operations and Services eco-system, unlocking the resupply of servicers in satellites parts and propellant, and performing complexe robotic-assisted in-orbit experiments.

In your capacity as a System Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:

Perform the System Engineering tasks, including, but not limited to the tasks below:

Perform trade-offs and technical investigations at system level.

Define system-level requirements and ensure flow down and consistency of lower-level requirements.

Define the functional breakdown of the system.

Contribute to the development plan.

Contribute to the coordination of technical tasks of the different specialist engineers within a project, ensuring links between schedule and tasks.

Contribute to the co-engineering sessions between the engineering team and potential external partners (setup the agenda, coordinate priorities, take decisions, take the MoM, track the actions).

Create and maintain the technical budgets (mass, power, etc.).

Support the organization of technical reviews with the customer (in coordination with the team responsible), in terms of datapack definition and delivery, and RIDs management.
