Descrizione del lavoro

Company Overview

Space Industries is an innovative and fast-growing company specializing in the design, development, and integration of advanced solutions for micro, small, and nano satellites.
With a strong focus on technological excellence and mission success, Space Industries supports complex space programs by providing end-to-end system capabilities — from design and manufacturing to integration, testing, and operations.

Position Overview

As a Satellite System Engineer at Space Industries, you will play a pivotal role in the design, integration, and validation of satellite systems and subsystems.
You will work across the full lifecycle of space missions — from concept design and requirements definition to verification, testing, and delivery — ensuring that all system-level interfaces and performances meet program objectives and ECSS standards.

This position requires strong engineering expertise, analytical skills, and the ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams in a high-technology aerospace environment.

Key Responsibilities

• System Design & Requirements Management:
  Define, analyze, and maintain system and subsystem requirements in compliance with mission objectives and customer specifications.
• System Architecture & Integration:
  Develop and maintain system-level architectures, ensuring coherent integration of payloads, platforms, and ground segments.
• Technical Coordination:
  Interface with subsystem leads (mechanical, electrical, software, thermal, AOCS, power) to guarantee consistency and performance across all disciplines.
• Verification & Validation (V&V):
  Define verification plans, manage test campaigns, and ensure traceability of requirements according to ECSS and internal standards.
• Interface Control & Documentation:
  Develop Interface Control Documents (ICDs), test procedures, and system-level specifications to ensure full traceability and compliance.
• Modeling & Simulation:
  Support system analyses (performance budgets, mass, power, and thermal models) and validate mission scenarios using simulation tools.
• Reviews & Configuration Control:
  Participate in design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, QR, AR), ensuring technical compliance, and maintain system configuration under control.
• Risk & Performance Assessment:
  Identify technical risks, propose mitigation actions, and monitor performance margins throughout the development cycle.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  Work closely with Program Management, Quality Assurance, and AIT teams to ensure seamless integration and delivery of mission hardware.

• Education: Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience in system engineering or satellite mission design, preferably in aerospace or defense sectors.
• Strong knowledge of space systems engineering processes, including requirements flow-down, verification, and validation.
• Familiarity with ECSS standards, space project documentation, and mission lifecycle.
• Proficiency in systems engineering tools (e.g., DOORS, Enterprise Architect, MATLAB, Simulink).
• Experience with system modeling, budgeting (mass, power, thermal), and performance analysis.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and coordination skills.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken).
• Driving license: category B.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in Small Satellite or NewSpace programs.
• Familiarity with ESA/ASI project workflows and documentation.
• Knowledge of cleanroom operations and environmental testing (TVAC, vibration, EMC).
• Systems engineering certification (INCOSE or equivalent).
• Previous experience in mission analysis or payload integration.

What We Offer

• 40-hour work week, Monday to Friday.
• A dynamic and innovative work environment in the aerospace sector.
• Opportunities for professional growth and technical leadership.
• Metalmeccanico (CCNL) contract with compensation based on experience and skills.

Why Join Us

• Be part of a fast-growing company shaping the future of satellite technology.
• Work on challenging and innovative projects with international impact.
• Join a multidisciplinary team driven by passion, collaboration, and excellence.
