Electronic Design Engineer, Deep Space Flight Computer

2019-09-25 18:18:18| Space-careers.com Jobs RSS

Join us for a fresh new challenge designing hardware to fly beyond Earth orbit! We are looking for an experienced engineer who can join a small design team to develop, test, qualify and initialise manufacture a lowcost deepspace flight and payload computational platform. You will be an instrumental member of a small team building out a full avionics stack product. The operation is new, based in Luxembourg as a spinoff of Deep Space Industries California and Bradford Space Netherlands. Our team in Luxembourg will be kept small 10 people and will focus on the single objective of building a reliable, performing, and massoptimised flight avionics system for upcoming deepspace smallsats and landers. You would take over the lead development and qualification of an onboard computer subsystem for this stack. The operation will aim to blend of the responsible, highquality engineering practices of traditional aerospace engineering while implementing the rapid iterative development methods and dynamic workplace culture of a NewSpace style startup. Essential skills Strong background in spacecraft flight computer engineering Good knowledge of available processors and embedded computer architectures Practical experience with electronics design, build management, rework, and hardware testing Proficient English language skills Strongly valued Familiarity with existing spacecraft flight computer systems and typical topologies Understanding of space hardware quality standards and the qualification process Working knowledge commercial processors e.g. Cortex, microcontrollers and FPGAs Understanding of the space environment and its effects Experience with highdatarate memory technologies, management and implementation Working knowledge of encryption techniques and remote node security Past work on computational hardware and software on spacecraft Competent software development skills C, embedded C, VHDL andor Python Buildfortest design, and hardwaresoftware test campaign development execution Buildformanufacture design experience Familiarity with relevant industry standards e.g. ECSS IPC Ability to build and rework electronics assemblies including SMT soldering Practical experience running test campaigns TVAC, vibration, radiation, extreme temperatures Relevant CAD experience Altium or similar, and thermal FEA Key responsibilities Design, optimise, test and qualify a spacecraft flight computer system for deep space missions Contribute to overall avionics product design and ensure subsystem interoperability Develop and deploy automated test methods and equipment Setup manufacturing processes and procedures Deliver to manufacturing stage, a performing product Manage and maintain a development workshop and tooling What we can offer in return We offer you the chance to develop a completely new type of modular flight computer system that will enable a new class of deepspace missions. An opportunity to be a key part of exciting missions to the Moon and beyond launching in the near future. You would take on an influential role in a new, revenuegenerating company, with a mandate to focus on technical design and implementation on an aggressive development schedule featuring rapid hardware iterations. The position is in Luxembourg, a beautiful, cosmopolitan and welcoming country at the heart of Europe, and carries a competitive salary and performancelinked benefits. Duty station Belval Luxembourg, with occasional travel needed We would usually expect candidates to have 310 years experience in relevant fields. The role is open to candidates of any age, gender, orientation, that have or can get work authorization within the EU.
