Ph3Overview /h3 pA Joint Venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), Thales Alenia Space is a global space manufacturer delivering, for more than 40 years, high-tech solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth Observation, environmental management, exploration, science and orbital infrastructures. Thanks to our diversity of skills, talents and cultures, our customers (governments, institutions, space agencies, telecommunications operators) therefore have Space to Connect, Secure Defend, Observe Protect, Explore, Travel Navigate. /p h3Role /h3 pWe are looking for a Senior Radio Frequency Subsystem Designer. The Radio Frequency (RF) subsystem is the spacecraft subsystem in charge to manage data communications from/to Earth and/or other spacecrafts. It also supports the spacecraft’s ranging and tracking functions as well as Radio Science Experiments. /p h3Assignments /h3 pThe candidate will immediately be assigned to one of the following roles: /p ul liTechnical responsible for the TTC communications subsystem of the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin Mission (RFM). RFM will be required to communicate with the Ground Segment on Earth from Deep Space throughout all mission phases. /li liTechnical responsible for the communications subsystem of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). LISA is a constellation composed of three identical sciencecraft that will be capable to detect gravitational waves with unprecedented performance. /li liTechnical responsible for the communications subsystem of the Deep Space Platform study that will contribute to the relay communication infrastructure around Mars. /li /ul h3Key duties /h3 ul liSpecification and design of Radio Frequency Subsystems (Telemetry Tracking and Command, Planetary Communications, Interplanetary Data Relay Systems) and of the needed units (Transponder, Antennas, RFDN, Cables, TWTA, SSPA, Switches) /li liSpecification and design of electrical and communication interfaces between Communications Subsystem and Data Handling Subsystem /li liSpecification and design of protocols for Ground communication and definition of Link Budgets and Data Volume /li liProcurement of Communications subsystem and its units following subcontractor technical activities /li liSupport to Communications subsystem integration and test (AIT) with system avionics /li liSupport technical meetings and reviews with the Customer /li /ul h3Skills, experience and qualifications /h3 ul liMaster’s degree in Telecommunication Engineering or Master degree in electronic Engineering or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering with focus on telecommunication. /li liAt least 3 years of experience in RF Subsystems design or testing at subsystem or at unit level (Transponder, Antennas, etc.) and technical knowledge in the following areas: /li liCapacity to perform analysis of S/C to Ground communication scenarios and synthesis of adequate RF subsystem architecture /li liKnowledge of Analysis and Modeling tools (Matlab/Simulink, FECO, STK, etc.) /li liKnowledge of ECSS CCSDS standards relevant to Communications systems /li liKnowledge of space-qualified components used in the TTC units (Memories, FPGA, ADC, DAC, etc.) /li liKnowledge of specification’s configuration control tools (DOORS) /li liKnowledge of Structured Programming techniques and relevant programming languages (C, C++, Python) is appreciated /li liProficient knowledge of English is required /li liAvailability to work abroad for short periods of time /li liAbility to work with people with different cultures /li liAbility to present and discuss solutions and results in front of the Customer /li /ul pAt Thales Alenia Space we provide CAREERS and not only jobs. With Thales Alenia Space employing around 8,900 employees in 10 countries with 17 sites in Europe and a plant in the US, our mobility policy enables employees each year to develop their careers at home and abroad.
