About the Company

Established in 2017, Infinite Orbits is a NewSpace company, based in Toulouse, pushing

the boundaries of in-orbit services with cutting-edge spacecraft driven by its own

Rendez-Vous solution, an advanced Autonomous Vision-Based Navigation Solution. IO

has two generations of missions

• "Orbit Guard" provides Inspection and Space Situational Awareness services in

  GEO. Our first, OG-1 was launched on 1 May 2023, the second is launching in

  2025 and the third third launching in 2026.

• "Endurance" is a docking service capable of extending the life of GEO telecom

  satellites, by taking over AOCS takeover for 5 years.

About the Role

To complete our dynamic and international team, we are looking for a profile of an experienced Avionics architect and systems engineer!

Job Description

• Build overall system architectures (power, data, RF)

  system-level design that includes a selection of concepts for bus voltage, power

  generation, storage and distribution, latch-up protection and redundancy.

• Select heaters, temperature sensors, motor drivers and data acquisition systems for

  the same.

• Work with subsystem suppliers at all phases - searching, vetting, RFI/ RFP, SoW

  definition, negotiation, monitoring and reviewing.

• Build and manage the electronics AIV methodology with associated hardware,

  including harnesses, adapter boards, check-out panels, GSE design, manufacturing,

  and testing.

• Select appropriate new space standards for carrying out quality and reliability

  control, including derating analysis, qualification and acceptance.

• Assist in developing flight software at the application level.

• Develop module-level verification plan (A,I,R,T) and carry out verification for 3rd

  party and in-house developed electronics modules.

• Assist in designing electronics for IO's RdV sensors and computers, including selection

  of components, PCB designing and production, assembly and end-to-end testing.

• Design radiation test campaigns if needed.

• Assist in building FDIR strategy by understanding fault modes of all electronics
