Develop the Platform Architecture Description Document, Interface Control Documents (ICD) and Design Description.
Detailed Design
Oversee detailed design of all major subsystems (structures, TCS, EPS, PROP, C&DH, C&T, GNC, payload interfaces).
Conduct failure‑mode‑effects‑analysis (FMEA) in support to FDIR, fault‑tree analysis and reliability & availability predictions.
Ensure compliance with mission requirement and payload specifics.
Maintain platform level performance budgets
Support FSW and Satellite Reference Database developments
Present technical status, risk analyses, and trade‑study results to senior management.
Negotiate and maintain ICDs with payload and all platform subsystems.
Support to DC & RF harness design, Platform and Payload layout.
Support B&P (Phase 0 & pre-phase A).
Integration & Verification (IVV)
Author verification plans, test matrices, and validation procedures for unit, subsystem, and platform level tests.
Coordinate, supervise or support:
o Structural vibration, acoustic & shock testing o TCT & Thermal vacuum testing o Power distribution functional test o Closed‑loop test on avionic testbed
Support FSW integration
Mentor, guide, lead a multidisciplinary team of junior or intermediate system engineers & interns
Act as technical liaison with customers, partners and external vendors
Act as Continuous Improvement stakeholder
Contribute to company's knowledge‑base, process enhancements, and standards development.
Ensure all artefacts, analysis, software, documentations and deliverables are version controlled in PLM environment.
Support design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, MRR/TRR…etc.).
Support Technology Road‑Mapping & Innovation
Launch‑Site, On‑Orbit & Operations Support
Support launch‑site interface checklists with LVI responsible engineer, pre‑launch checkout procedures, and early‑orbit checkout scripts.
Provide real‑time platform engineering support during launch, on‑orbit commissioning, anomaly investigations and contingency operations.
Support SOOH development and associated operator training.
Requirements
Translate mission‑level requirements (CONOPs, mass, volume, power, envelope, pointing, lifetime, redundancy, reliability…etc.) into system requirements and allocate them to platform subsystems (structures, TCS, EPS, GNC, PROP, C&DH, TT&C/PDT, FSW).
Perform requirement management and maintain bidirectional traceability throughout the program life cycle.
Concept Trade & Feasibility
Lead trade studies for structural approach, thermal control concepts (MLI, heat pipes, radiators…etc.), power generation options (e.g. solar array & battery technologies).
B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace or Physics with 10 + years of system design experience on LEO/MEO/GEO platforms.
Deep knowledge of spacecraft bus subsystems and their interactions.
Experience with power‑electronics design and high‑precision attitude‑control hardware.
Strong understanding of aerospace system engineering fundamentals
Hands-on individual who can support systems integration processes and capability to test systems and resolve problems
Experience with Confluence and JIRA
Demonstrated capability to efficiently work with little supervision
Ability to distill complex problems to fundamentals to solve with analysis, similarity, or creativity
Demonstrate excellent written and oral communication skills in English; knowledge of French will be considered an asset (Contact with clients outside Quebec and work on deliverables in English).
