Overview
\n
Si assicuri di inviare la sua candidatura con tutte le informazioni richieste, come indicato nella panoramica del lavoro riportata di seguito.
\n
Operating 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.
\n
In 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.
\n
This role requires a balance of structured execution (processes, traceability, toolchain) and fast‐paced, creative problem solving to achieve project and company goals.
\n
Responsibilities
\n
System Definition, Requirements & Architecture
\n
Capture stakeholder needs and translate them into system/subsystem requirements, including derived requirements and clear acceptance criteria.
\n
Define and maintain the avionics platform architecture (functional, logical, physical), including HW/SW/FW partitioning and resource budgets (power, data, timing, memory, CPU/FPGA utilization).
\n
Drive architectural choices that maximize platform repeatability and scalability (e.g., modularity, interface standardization, product configurations/variants, reuse patterns).
\n
Manage requirements allocation, consistency, and end‐to‐end traceability from needs → requirements → design → verification evidence.
\n
Interfaces, ICDs & Integration
\n
Define, document, and control interfaces across the avionics platform and with satellite subsystems (e.g., power, OBDH, AOCS, communications, payloads, GSE/EGSE).
\n
Produce and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) to support scalable integration across multiple satellite platforms and mission variants.
\n
Support integration planning and execution, ensuring coherent behavior across electronics HW, embedded SW, and FPGA firmware.
\n
Analyses, Trade‐offs, Robustness & Risk
\n
Execute and document trade studies (performance, reliability, complexity, cost/schedule, manufacturability, testability), explicitly considering platform reuse and scalability constraints.
\n
Support system robustness activities such as FMEA/FMECA, hazard/fault analysis, and FDIR concept definition.
\n
Contribute to reliability thinking (derating approach, fault containment, safe modes, redundancy where applicable) and support EMC/EMI considerations at system level.
\n
Maintain radiation awareness at system level (mission‐dependent): TID/SEE mitigation concepts, watchdogs, EDAC, scrubbing (as applicable).
\n
Identify, assess, and manage technical risks; propose mitigation plans and drive closure.
\n
Verification, Validation & Test (IVVQ)
\n
Define the verification strategy and maintain the verification matrix (inspection, analysis, test, demonstration).
\n
Contribute to authoring test plans, procedures, and test reports; support execution at unit/subsystem/system level.
\n
Promote verification approaches that enable repeatable test campaigns and scalable production/AIT flows (e.g., reusable test assets, test automation, standardized acceptance criteria).
\n
Support lab and AIV/AIT activities: test readiness, anomaly triage, root‐cause analysis, and corrective/preventive actions.
\n
Process, Toolchain & Continuous Improvement
\n
Operate within established engineering and systems engineering processes to ensure quality and repeatability, while contributing to continuous improvement of methods, templates, and workflows.
\n
Help evolve the platform development approach to better support reuse, configuration management, and scalability across multiple satellite platforms.
\n
Collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary environment, balancing structured execution with rapid iteration.
\n
Qualifications and Knowledge
\n
Education: MSc (or equivalent) in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related STEM discipline.
\n
Professional 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.
\n
Proven ability to work across HW/SW/FPGA FW boundaries, understanding constraints such as timing, throughput, determinism, resource budgets, and verification implications.
\n
Familiarity with typical avionics interfaces/protocols (as applicable): CAN/CAN‐FD, UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet; space‐
