Overview
Radar System engineer role at Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%). Thales Alenia Space is a global space manufacturer delivering high-tech solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth Observation, environmental management, exploration, science and orbital infrastructures. Our customers include governments, institutions, space agencies and telecommunications operators.
Responsibilities
* The Radar Architect engineer covers the definition of RF Payload and Digital Equipment Section.
* The candidate shall perform:
o The evaluation of radar input requirement and address toward the radar engineering analysist team, the main performance analysis needs to support the architecture and the HW/SW design.
o The trade-off between possible radar Instruments solution, such as the definition of radar instrument architectures and of their main sub-systems (antenna, antenna front-end, RF section, digital section). In particular, the candidate shall focus his/her activity on the definition of the digital section of synthetic aperture radars (SAR), the C&C design definition, Timing, FDIR and of the related on-board processing (e.g. digital waveform generation and management, echo digital filtering, digital beamforming, data decimation, data compression and formatting).
o The definition of radar subsystem/units requirements, addressing toward the HW/SW team the needs in terms of functional decomposition and performance needs for Digital, RF and SW section.
o The participation to design review both toward higher level and toward lower level as per specific rules and duties
o The Contribution to the requirement traceability and maintenance as per lower level outcome.
o The Support the Radar System Engineering Manager for RFW/D evaluation coming from subsystem/unit level Vs the defined architecture and budget.
o The contribution for the definition and maintenance of radar payloads budgets.
o The definition and development of software tools (e.g. Matlab tools, Excel worksheets, etc.) for supporting simulations and analyses required for the phases of design and verification of radar payloads hardware.
o The evaluation of test results and participation to test campaigns: the candidate shall contribute to evaluate radar payload performance by taking part to test campaigns and evaluating test results at level of instrument, assembly, equipment and unit.
o The Participation to meetings with the Radar Instrument design team.
o The Participation to meetings/reviews with internal and external sub-contractors.
o The Participation to meetings/reviews with both internal and external customers.
o The Preparation of documents and handout.
Personal requirements
* Master degree or PhD in either Remote Sensing Engineering, or Telecommunication Engineering, or Electronics Engineering.
* Background in the field of HW design for RF and digital electronics, simulations and analysis; skills and experience in the fields of Antenna and RF design are considered as distinctive elements.
* Knowledge of Matlab, MS Office products.
* Knowledge of the English language (at least at intermediate level) for both written and verbal communication.
* Attitude to teamwork.
