Job Description

Several positions of Hardware Design Engineer are now open in Airbus CRISA (Airbus Defense & Space) in Tres Cantos (Madrid area) for different Space business: Launchers, Earth Exploration (Copernicus), Space Exploration (Artemis), Commercial (Telecommunications Satellites). This is an opportunity to join a diverse and dynamic Technical Team focused on:

• Shape the future based on innovation of our products, new technologies and way of working.
• State of the art product consolidation.
• Continuous Performance improvement.

In accordance with the proven Candidate skills, she/he will be part of Power, Analog or Digital team and will report/be supported by the relevant Skill Manager. Functionally, the Candidate is also part of the Project, with the main mission of developing/designing electronic units for flight and ground equipment to achieve the unit delivery in accordance with project schedule, cost and quality requirements. In a day-to-day basis, she/he will report to Project Manager. Within each project, the tasks are coordinated by a Technical Responsible in charge of direct reporting to the Project Manager. The Engineer’s tasks comprise the complete development of an electronic equipment: from the analysis of the requirements to the final delivery of the flight model once accepted.

Responsibilities

The successful applicant will be in charge of the following tasks:

• Support to the Technical and Test Managers for the analysis of project requirements.
• Architecture analysis at electronic function or module level.
• Detailed electronics design based on electrical simulations at function level.
• Assure of the robustness of the design by means of: part stress analysis, worst case analysis, failure modes and criticality analysis, power budget analysis and Double Insulation requirements compliance.
• In case of fligth design, to support to Radiation Team to assure the design robustness within the radiation space environment including Single Events Effects (SEE).
• Documentation of the design.
• Laboratory and prototype testing.
• Assure the mechanical and thermal design robustness by supporting the Packaging Team.
• Support to PCB CAD team during the design of the PCB by the reviewing of the PCB layout.
• Board test procedures definition.
• Support to the Technical Manager in the main project reviews (Requirement Review, Preliminary and Architecture Review, Critical Design Review…).
• Characterization of the design.
• Support to Test Team for the acceptance of flight equipment, ensuring a close monitoring of any change, evolution or discrepancy from the agreed baseline in the characterization phase.
• Support to the Technical Manager in the resolution of boards NCRs (Non-conformance) raised during qualification or acceptance test campaign.

Background and skills set required

We are looking for candidates with the following skills and experience:

• Educated to Master degree level (or equivalent) in engineering or science discipline.
• Proven experience in the development of any of the following functions: Power, Analog or Digital electronics.
