Descrizione del lavoro

A Joint Venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), Thales Alenia Space is a global space manufacturer delivering, for more than 40 years, high-tech solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth Observation, environmental management, exploration, science and orbital infrastructures. Thanks to our diversity of skills, talents and cultures, our customers (governments, institutions, space agencies, telecommunications operators), therefore have Space to Connect, Secure & Defend, Observe & Protect, Explore, Travel & Navigate.

We are looking for an Avionics Engineer - IVVQ

The job holder will be in charge of the different phases of Avionics testing: Integration, Verification and Validation/Qualification of Satellite Avionics (for all what concern Data Handling - DHC, Attitude and Orbit Control - AOC and Failure Detection Isolation and Recovery - FDIR aspects), up to final test report/documentation preparation and reviews with customer. The job will also include developing of simulation models for Satellite Real Time Environment (RTE) based on C/C++ compliant to ESA ECSS SMP standard.

The proposed job will imply the following duties:

• Real/No-Real Time test environment for Hardware In the Loop HIL Testing)
• Real Time Environment (RTE) Simulation modeling based on C/C++ compliant to ECSS SMP standard;
• Matlab/Simulink programming;
• Support to HW units specification and technical management of related procurement;
• To study/understand the design provided by AOCS/DHC Design Authority in order to develop a verification and testing approach;
• To develop and write test sequences for AOCS, DHC, FDIR aspects;
• Avionics V&V activity at Avionic Test Bench (ATB) level;

The working site is Rome, but it might be required working in other locations for short mid-term periods.

Short periods of 24h shift working across the full week might be required upon specific program needs.
