RHEA the fastest growing leading Belgian SME providing system engineering solutions and professional engineering services to the international space industry is recruiting experienced Electrical Engineers for a full time position based in Stevenage, UK. Description The selected candidate will operate within the Prime Electrical Engineering team which is led by the lead Electrical Architect. Within this team, there are dedicated architects for Data handling, RF Engineering, EMC and Power. The selected candidate will operate under the Power architect for Power activities and the Lead Electrical Architect for the more general electrical support tasks. The Power Subsystem comprises two major contracts, the Electrical Power SubSystem EPS and the Solar Array Subsystem SA. The selected candidate will be primarily involved in the EPS activities though will also be providing support to the Solar Array related activities. The EPS consists of the Power Control and Distribution Unit, Battery, Solar Array Drive Assembly and Solar Array Drive Electronics. The role of the selected candidate is to ensure the quality of the EPS suppliers work by the process of review and shadow analysis. Additionally, the selected candidate will perform all necessary analyses and confirm requirements to ensure correct operation of the EPS within the spacecraft system with the harness, the solar array, the load units, the spacecraft FDIR and spacecraft onboard operations. To achieve this, the selected candidate will interface with the rest of the Prime team, providing reviewed and checked inputs coming from the EPS supplier possibly with post processing to the rest of the Prime team. The selected candidate will also support more generally the Prime team by providing targeted electrical circuit review support during unit design reviews for circuit performance, failure modes and derating. Requirements for the EPS and SA already exist and are mature. However, the selected candidate will ensure that these are maintained and updated as needed to match development of the rest of the spacecraft. Prime uses the DOORS requirement tracking tool for this and access will be made available as required. This tool is also used for Verification tracking and close out and the selected candidate will also be expected to maintain verification closeout references within this tool and support ESA Verification Control Board reviews. As part of this, the selected candidate will also provide test requirements and assess test results for Prime level test campaigns spacecraft and development bench. The Prime Electrical Engineering team reports to the Prime Project Management, Engineering management and Product Assurance and the selected candidate will support these functions by providing regular schedule and progress inputs and contributing to the spacecraft CDR documentation set. The following activities shall be performed Technical review and support the procurement of the EPS and its associated equipment Review at subsystem level Maintenance of the Requirement specification for the EPS Review of the EPS units PCDU, SADA and Battery Schedule and Risk inputs to the Prime team for the EPS, PCDU, SADA and Battery Technical support to the procurement of the Solar Array Review of the technical documentation of the power subsystems and units Review EPS, EPS units and Solar array subsystem test plans, test procedures and test reports Support subsystem supplier, unit level MRRTRRDRB activities Generation of Prime level synthesis analysis from EPS level analyses and spacecraft inputs Generate Prime level Power Subsystem documentation inputs based on EPS supplier inputs Generation of related inputs into the Prime Engineering team including Inputs to harness requirement specification voltage drop, harness losses. Review and collate EICD inputs from EPS and review spacecraft EICD Inputs for Mechanicalthermal teams from suppliers for EPS MICD, TICD and provide support Inputs to the Spacecraft User Manuals for the Power Subsystem Inputs to the PA organisation for Safety, Hazards, Reliability aspects of the EPS and support PA in RFD and NCR resolution Review and coordinate TMTC ICD and Calibration inputs from the power subsystem units to Spacecraft database Liaise with Central Software team on Power Subsystem application requirements and the Test simulator team on Power Subsystem modelling Provide interface support on Power matters to the Payload team Support Flight operation procedure generation for EPS equipment. Support the maintenance of the spacecraft power and Energy budgets and resource LCL, Pyros, etc. allocations Provide general detailed circuit analysis and review support to the platform team component level support in ECSS requirement environment Contribute to system level and supplier level reviews, participate in MRB, supplier level inspections Perform the compatibility analysis between the Power Subsystem outlets and the equipment power demand incl. transients and spacecraft level EPS performance analysis. Provide support to the Spacecraft level test programme, including Establish test plans and test requirement specifications for EPS units and power chain at both Prime test bench ETB and Flight spacecraft levels Test preparation support FMEA, Test Specification Reviews, etc. Provide technical support to Prime test bench ETB Power Subsystem testing Provide technical support to Spacecraft Power Subsystem testing Review, analyse and synthesise results from EPS units and power chain integration and test at both ETB and Flight spacecraft levels In addition to the above tasks the contractors engineers will be expected to interface with other members of the Astrium prime team and with the ESA team on an ad hoc basis. In particular the contractors engineers shall be prepared to Participate in Project technical and progress meetings Provide inputs to system progress report Participate in the regular progress meetings between Astrium and ESA Start date 042013 Location Stevenage, UK Application deadline 6 March 2013 If you are interested, please send your EUROPASS format CV as well as a Cover Letter to Lena Englander, Recruitment Manager, or Emilie Royez Recruitment Assistant at careeropportunitiesrheagroup.com Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information.
