Spacecraft Mission Assurance Engineer: Reliability Lead

The Exploration Company; Torino; In loco; EUR 70.000 - 100.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

The Exploration Company is looking for a Mission Assurance Engineer to own the end-to-end strategy that ensures spacecraft safety, reliability, and mission readiness. You will be embedded with the design, test, and operations teams, driving the vehicle safety architecture and relentlessly driving risk down and availability up.

You will collaborate with avionics, software and operations teams to implement fault management strategies, perform RAMS analyses, and guide in-flight anomaly resolution

Competenze

• Master's degree in an engineering or science discipline.
• Proficiency with reliability tools (e.g., FMECA, FTA, reliability block diagrams).
• Understanding of fault tolerance, redundancy management, and failure detection/isolation/recovery.
• Technical knowledge of spacecraft systems and operations (e.g., communications, orbital mechanics, avionics, propulsion, thermal control, life support systems).
• Strong written and verbal communication of technical information.
• Able to effectively manage projects and tasks while meeting aggressive deadlines.
• Thrives under pressure and is resilient in the face of technical challenges.
• Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills.

Mansioni

• Ownership of the vehicle safety architecture making sure it meets all safety & reliability requirements (both internal and external from ISS program, ESA and CNES on entry safety).
• Responsible for assessing pre-flight risks and potential mitigations with vehicle design, analysis, and operations teams.
• Perform and review FMECA, FTA, PRA, and RAM analyses to identify risks and failure modes.
• Define and validate the spacecraft fault management and FDIR architecture.
• Work with avionics, software, and operations teams to implement fault management strategies and ensure safe behavior under off-nominal conditions.
• Support on-console operations as the Mission Assurance representative and drive in-flight anomaly resolution. Ensure lessons learned feed directly back into design and FDIR improvements.
• Champion a culture of mission assurance. Instill first-principles thinking, disciplined verification, and data-driven decision-making.
• Report to program leadership on RAMS status, residual risk, and flight readiness.
• Drive corrective actions from anomalies, test failures, and operational events back into design improvements.
