OHB Italia is seeking an Electrical and Power Engineer m/f Ref.EPS_24 for its Satellite and Missions Department in Milano or Rome.
The “Electrical Power Systems, EMC & Harness Engineering” unit belongs to the “Integrated Systems-Satellites & Missions” BU. We are responsible for the Harness and Electrical Power Subsystem architecture, leading relevant engineering activities throughout the project lifecycle—from initial conception and feasibility studies, bids, and proposals, to design, implementation, launch, LEOP, and in-orbit operations and maintenance.
Your Tasks:
- Define the Electrical Power subsystem architecture.
- Conduct requirement analysis, flow-down, and subsystem architecture trade-offs.
- Perform electrical power analysis and verify performance.
- Assess energy balance, resource sizing, and provide justification.
- Follow up with customers and subcontractors technically.
- Conduct Electrical Power Subsystem IVVQ at spacecraft level.
- Support S/C AIT tests and launch campaigns.
- Participate in bids, solution identification, and cost estimation.
- Engage in related R&D activities.
Additional Responsibilities:
You will be responsible for:
- Assessing and analyzing mission Operational Requirement Documents (ORD).
- Implementing electrical architectures.
- Reviewing equipment data packages and managing RFWs/RFDs.
- Assessing electrical interfaces, resource sizing, and budgets.
- Implementing power architectures in simulation environments.
- Participating in reviews with suppliers and customers.
- Supporting system and subsystem IVVQ, NCR management, requirement change evaluation, and AIV activities across product lifecycle.
- Supporting OPS team during SVTs, FOP, LEOP simulations, and commissioning.
Your Qualifications:
- Master's Degree in Electronic, Electrical, or Telecommunication Engineering with focus on RF and EMC.
- Fluent in English (C1 or higher certification).
- At least 3 years of experience in a similar role within Earth Observation or Navigation/Telecom platforms, especially those involving electric propulsion.
Specific Knowledge:
- System requirements analysis, flow-down, and verification.
- Electrical and power system design and sizing.
- Management of design documentation: specifications, performance analysis, interfaces, budgets, validation.
- Analysis, simulation, and validation of supply systems and equipment for mission scenarios.
- Support for satellite testing during AIT, launch, and in-orbit phases.
- Electromagnetics fundamentals, RLC filters, circuit theory.
- Power conditioning systems (Shunt, MPPT, Buck, Boost).
- Proficiency in Matlab/Simulink/Orcad.
- Knowledge of electrical engineering standards is a plus.
Nice to Have:
- Organized, methodical, with strong communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks autonomously and within a team.
- Results-oriented, with focus on time and cost constraints.
