Gather and trace payload requirements from mission level down to subsystem level
Design the SAR payload architecture: antenna arrays and RF front-end Tx/Rx, digital beamforming, processing chain and digital electronics, power, thermal, mass
Lead conceptual, preliminary and detailed design with trade studies and performance budgets; produce ICDs; specify hardware and review schematics and layouts
Performance simulations for tolerance budgeting and image quality; support SAR and moving-target-indication algorithm development; payload DC power budget; FMECA, fault tree, FDIR, reliability
Build the payload verification master plan (unit, subsystem, payload, environmental and EMC tests); lead test automation and reporting
Support mission operations: payload health monitoring, on-orbit anomaly root cause, telemetry analysis, operator training
Requirements
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or Physics with 5+ years supporting remote sensing system development, integration and test on LEO/MEO missions
Works well with little supervision; strong written and spoken English (French an asset)
What you need
Strong technical writing (requirements, ICDs, test procedures, risk reports) and presentation skills
Hands-on systems integration and test experience; Confluence and JIRA
