• Specification and design of Radio Frequency Subsystems (Telemetry, Tracking and Command, Planetary Communications, Interplanetary Data Relay Systems) and related units (Transponder, Antennas, RFDN, Cables, TWTA, SSPA, Switches).
• Specification and design of electrical and communication interfaces between the Communications Subsystem and Data Handling Subsystem.
• Specification and design of protocols for Ground communication, including Link Budgets and Data Volume calculations.
• Procurement of Communications subsystem and units following subcontractor activities.
• Support for Communications subsystem integration and testing (AIT) with system avionics.
• Participation in technical meetings and reviews with the Customer.

Skills, experience, and qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Telecommunication Engineering, Aerospace Engineering with a focus on telecommunications, or Electronic Engineering.
• At least 3 years of experience or internship in RF Subsystems design or testing at subsystem or unit level (Transponder, Antennas, etc.), with knowledge in:
• Analysis of S/C to Ground communication scenarios.
• Synthesis of RF subsystem architecture.
• Analysis and Modeling tools (Matlab/Simulink, FECO, STK, etc.).
• ECSS and CCSDS standards relevant to Communications systems.
• Space-qualified components used in TT&C units (Memories, FPGA, ADC, DAC, etc.).
• Specification’s configuration control tools (DOORS).
• Structured Programming techniques and languages (C, C++, Python) are a plus.
• Proficient in English.
• Willingness to work abroad for short periods.
