Descripción del empleo

ARQUIMEA, we are a technology company operating globally and providing innovative solutions and products in highly demanding sectors. Our areas of activity are Aerospace, Defense & Security, Big Science, Biotechnology and Fintech.

We specialize in thermal control systems, structural panels, optical payloads, avionics, release and deployment mechanisms, and rad-hard microelectronics. Together with our tech partners, we provide high-throughput smallsats and their subsystems. Our brand-new factory in Madrid is suited to integrate satellites and constellations.

We are looking for an Avionics Systems Engineer with the mission of taking responsibility for the system design, development, integration, and testing of avionics subsystems, including flight computers, power generation and distribution, communication systems, sensors and actuators, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure that the avionics architecture meets mission requirements.

Oversee the selection, procurement, and testing of electronic components from external providers or internal developments.

Perform size, weight, power, cost budget analysis, trade studies, simulation and optimization of satellite avionics.

Lead the system design, development and verification of the On Board Data Handling (OBDH) subsystem, including FDIR, operational modes, redundancies, data buses, Telemetry (TM) and Telecommand (TC).

Lead the system design, development, and optimization of satellite Electrical Power Subsystems, including power generation, storage, distribution, and regulation.

Hardware & Software Integration : Work with electrical, software, and mechanical engineers to integrate avionics components such as flight computers, sensors, and telemetry systems.

Testing & Validation : Conduct environmental, functional, and performance testing of avionics systems, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulations, and launch preparation.

Troubleshooting & Anomaly Resolution : Lead the resolution of significant avionics-related issues during entire project lifetime.

Documentation & Compliance : Generate technical documentation including design reviews, requirements and specifications documents, interface control documents, and verification and integration test plans.

Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering or a related field.

Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering related technical discipline is a plus.

Satellite Electrical Power Systems – Including solar arrays, batteries, battery management systems, power distribution, electric propulsion, isolation and grounding, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), fault tolerance, and thermal management.

On-Board Data Handling (OBDH) – Covering failure detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR), operational modes, redundancies, data buses, telemetry (TM), and telecommand (TC).

Spacecraft Architecture Design – With an emphasis on attitude and orbit control systems (AOCS), propulsion, and communication subsystems.

10 years of experience in any of the following areas : spacecraft OBDH, spacecraft Electrical Power Subsystem or as spacecraft avionics architect.

Familiarity with reliability, FMECA, radiation and Worst Case analysis and tools.

Knowledge of radiation-hardened electronics and space-qualified components.

Experience with digital, analog, mixed signal, and power design and analysis processes for space programs from a systems point of view.
