Lead Satellite V&V Engineer

Blackshark; Toulouse; Sur place; EUR 65 000 - 90 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Aerospacelab in Toulouse is seeking a Satellite V&V engineer to lead functional verification and validation activities across multiple space missions. You will coordinate test campaigns on representative benches and flight models, and interact with systems, SW, HW, and quality teams.

As a V&V mission lead, you will plan, prepare and execute tests, analyze data, generate reports, and contribute to improving our V&V philosophy and test specifications.

Qualifications

• Experience with functional or electrical AIV activities; EGSE environments and satellite functional test execution.
• Prior experience with satellite systems engineering (platform, payload or both).
• Strong satellite system-level thinking and understanding of the avionics and major subsystems of a satellite.
• Experience with requirements to specifications mapping, verification matrix management. Familiarity with requirements management tools (e.g. DOORS, Jama, Polarion).
• Experience with contributing to major space project milestones & associated deliverables for PDR, CDR, etc. Strong understanding of the systems engineering lifecycle and review process (ECSS or NASA standards are a plus).
• Eye for detail and high-quality standards, able to detect inconsistencies over multiple documents or missions. Very structured way of working.
• Experience working with QMS systems, in quality assurance activities, etc.
• Good communication, coordination skills: able to work across teams (systems, SW, HW, AIV, quality, PM) and elevate issues clearly to help bring multi-disciplinary projects to completion.
• Very proactive in looking for efficiency improvements & solutions to problems.
• Experience with reading & preparing detailed and complex technical documentation.
• Fluency in English, both written and verbal. Bachelor, Master or PhD degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.

Responsabilités

• Become responsible for functional verification & validation activities for multiple satellite projects, at subsystem/system/mission level.
• Writing and maintaining system test specifications & test plans, based on the requirements of the project, in close collaboration with the mission’s systems engineer, project manager and subsystem experts. Strong focus on payload V&V.
• Define and/or review GSE requirements together with GSE engineers to achieve agreed test scope.
• Develop & execute scripts, based on the test specifications.
• Manage the mission’s test setups (consisting of spacecraft units, test equipment, support equipment, …), either in ISO clean rooms or our test laboratories.
• Collect & analyze the data after execution, in close collaboration with the systems engineer, subsystem experts or the product owners of individual spacecraft units. Report in detail on the test results & contribute to the post-analysis. Generate & follow up on potential problem reports (non-conformances); assist in finding the root cause, solution/mitigation and lessons learned for the future.
• Contribute to maintaining the roadmap of generic or payload-specific V&V test specification improvements, defining the scope with other teams and testing levels, syncing with systems engineering and quality teams, anticipating new test areas & other improvements.
• Review V&V specifications & plans for other missions, ensuring consistency over all projects.
• Contribute to our brainstorming sessions, knowledge base improvements, knowledge sharing sessions & internal processes improvements.
• Continuously look for opportunities and the means to increase the team’s efficiency.
