Ph3Overview /h3 pOperating in the Technology Unit, reporting to the Head of Systems Engineering Group (with project-level reporting to the Avionics Project Lead Engineers), the Avionics Systems Engineer will be responsible for systems engineering activities supporting the development, integration, verification, and lifecycle evolution of D-Orbit’s avionics suites for New Space missions. /p pIn particular, you will work on D-Orbit’s Avionics platforms—modular, product-oriented avionics building blocks engineered to ensure repeatability and scalability. This platform approach enables reuse across multiple missions and satellite configurations, supporting D-Orbit’s New Space satellite platforms with consistent performance, quality, and manufacturability. /p pThis role requires a balance of structured execution (processes, traceability, toolchain) and fast‑paced, creative problem solving to achieve project and company goals. /p h3Responsibilities /h3 h3System Definition, Requirements Architecture /h3 ul liCapture stakeholder needs and translate them into system/subsystem requirements, including derived requirements and clear acceptance criteria. /li liDefine and maintain the avionics platform architecture (functional, logical, physical), including HW/SW/FW partitioning and resource budgets (power, data, timing, memory, CPU/FPGA utilization). /li liDrive architectural choices that maximize platform repeatability and scalability (e.g., modularity, interface standardization, product configurations/variants, reuse patterns). /li liManage requirements allocation, consistency, and end‑to‑end traceability from needs → requirements → design → verification evidence. /li /ul h3Interfaces, ICDs Integration /h3 ul liDefine, document, and control interfaces across the avionics platform and with satellite subsystems (e.g., power, OBDH, AOCS, communications, payloads, GSE/EGSE). /li liProduce and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) to support scalable integration across multiple satellite platforms and mission variants. /li liSupport integration planning and execution, ensuring coherent behavior across electronics HW, embedded SW, and FPGA firmware. /li /ul h3Analyses, Trade‑offs, Robustness Risk /h3 ul liExecute and document trade studies (performance, reliability, complexity, cost/schedule, manufacturability, testability), explicitly considering platform reuse and scalability constraints. /li liSupport system robustness activities such as FMEA/FMECA, hazard/fault analysis, and FDIR concept definition. /li liContribute to reliability thinking (derating approach, fault containment, safe modes, redundancy where applicable) and support EMC/EMI considerations at system level. /li liMaintain radiation awareness at system level (mission‑dependent): TID/SEE mitigation concepts, watchdogs, EDAC, scrubbing (as applicable). /li liIdentify, assess, and manage technical risks; propose mitigation plans and drive closure. /li /ul h3Verification, Validation Test (IVVQ) /h3 ul liDefine the verification strategy and maintain the verification matrix (inspection, analysis, test, demonstration). /li liContribute to authoring test plans, procedures, and test reports; support execution at unit/subsystem/system level. /li liPromote verification approaches that enable repeatable test campaigns and scalable production/AIT flows (e.g., reusable test assets, test automation, standardized acceptance criteria). /li liSupport lab and AIV/AIT activities: test readiness, anomaly triage, root‑cause analysis, and corrective/preventive actions. /li /ul h3Process, Toolchain Continuous Improvement /h3 ul liOperate within established engineering and systems engineering processes to ensure quality and repeatability, while contributing to continuous improvement of methods, templates, and workflows. /li liHelp evolve the platform development approach to better support reuse, configuration management, and scalability across multiple satellite platforms. /li liCollaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary environment, balancing structured execution with rapid iteration. /li /ul h3Qualifications and Knowledge /h3 ul liEducation: MSc (or equivalent) in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related STEM discipline. /li liProfessional experience: Minimum 3–5 years in systems engineering for avionics systems (Old Space and/or New Space) OR complex electronic systems in other industries operating in safety‑critical and/or harsh environments. /li liProven ability to work across HW/SW/FPGA FW boundaries, understanding constraints such as timing, throughput, determinism, resource budgets, and verification implications. /li liFamiliarity with typical avionics interfaces/protocols (as applicable): CAN/CAN‑FD, UART, SPI, I²C, Ethernet; space‑oriented protocols such as SpaceWire and MIL‑STD‑1553 are a plus. /li liWorking knowledge of structured engineering standards/processes: ECSS engineering and product assurance principles (preferred) and/or transferable safety‑critical frameworks such as DO‑178C / DO‑254 / ARP4754A, IEC 61508, ISO 26262. /li liStrong technical documentation skills (requirements, architectures, ICDs, verification artifacts). /li liLanguages: Fluent English (written and spoken) is mandatory; Italian is a plus. /li liDeep knowledge of AI tools. /li /ul h3Systems Engineering Tools Processes (Examples) /h3 ul liRequirements Traceability: IBM DOORS/DOORS Next, Polarion, Jama (or similar). /li liMBSE / Architecture Modeling: SysML/UML tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw), Capella, Enterprise Architect;

This is why we don't measure the performance of people by how many hours they spend at the office: we only measure the outcome. /p pAt D-Orbit, diversity and inclusivity are not just values, they are integral to our mission and the way we operate. We are committed to fostering an environment where all individuals are respected, valued, and celebrated for their unique backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. We believe that a diverse and inclusive workplace is not only the right thing to do, but it also leads to better decision making, innovation, and overall success. We actively strive to build a culture where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, and where all voices are heard and valued. We are dedicated to creating a workplace where everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered to share their ideas, and where everyone is given equal opportunities to grow and excel. We believe that our differences make us stronger, and we will continue to work diligently to create an inclusive culture at D-Orbit that reflects this belief. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
