Role Overview An experienced Satellite System Engineer will lead and support mission analysis, requirements development, system design, performance budgeting, and testing for MDA’s satellite engineering team. Responsibilities Lead, develop and maintain the system requirements from the mission level down to the major subsystem level for mechanical or electrical standpoint (platform, payload, ground segment) based on mission requirements and customer needs. Conduct mission design trade‑off studies to design and develop the overall mission subsystems. Develop performance budgets, design reports and CONOPS. Support mission development and analysis such as link budgets, coverage analyses, geolocation accuracy, pointing knowledge budgets, mass… Develop and maintain ICDs (interface control documents) between the major mission subsystems such as platform to payload. Review design material provided by subcontractors to ensure compliance to requirements and SOCs. Perform satellite modeling in a MBSE approach. Develop satellite test procedures and oversee their execution. Verify and validate overall mission activities and develop operations procedures for on‑orbit commissioning and routine missions. Monitor MDA’s suppliers and the integrated product team. Participate in satellite electrical and RF performance evaluation. Provide inputs and lead or support all program reviews including EQSR, SRR, PDR, CDR. Support satellite assembly, integration and test. Attend all test reviews TRR, TRB, DRB, and NCR’s. Support satellite testing: EGSE, test supervision, data analysis. Support satellite tests at MDA, at test facilities or at supplier premises. Support in‑orbit test (IOT). Write satellite procedures and operations manual. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Engineering in a relevant field with 10+ years of relevant experience. Previous design and test experience with LEO/MEO satellites and sub‑systems. Understanding of the space environment and orbit mechanics. Strong understanding of aerospace systems and engineering fundamentals. Relevant experience with testing of satellite sub‑systems. Demonstrated capability to test RF systems and resolve problems. Hands‑on individual who can lead all systems integration processes. Experience with qualification and acceptance testing of new designs. High degree of attention to detail. Demonstrated capability to efficiently work with little to no supervision. Ability to distill complex problems to fundamentals to solve with analysis, similarity, or creativity. Experience creating or using models and/or simulation software. Demonstrated excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (contact with customers outside Quebec and head office staff in Ontario). Experience leading and coaching a technical team. Support the spacecraft operations team in critical phases. Eligibility Applicants must obtain and hold security clearance at the reliability status level and pass the Controlled Goods Program (CGP) assessment. #J-18808-Ljbffr
