  • Interface with payload hardware and software teams to ensure correct implementation and traceability of requirements.
  • Participate in technical reviews and support anomaly investigation and resolution.
  • Work with multi-disciplinary teams including RF, digital, embedded software, FPGA, and systems engineering.

Contribute to technology evolution by identifying opportunities for design optimization and innovation.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5 years+ of experience in telecommunications systems, particularly in digital payloads. (experience outside of the Space industry will also be considered)

Required Skills

  • Strong expertise in requirements verification by test, including practical experience in developing and executing test plans.
  • Solid understanding of digital payload architectures, including SDR-based flexible processors and beamforming using DRA.
  • Familiarity with hardware and software tools used in payload verification, such as:
  • Vector Network Analyzers (VNA) and Spectrum Analyzers for RF testing
  • Baseband signal generators, Channel Emulators, and BER testers
  • Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW for test automation and data analysis
  • SCPI, VISA, and similar interfaces for instrument control
  • Good understanding of FPGA-based systems and embedded software architectures is a plus.
  • Must be eligible to work in Canada, capable of obtaining necessary security clearance.

Preferred Skills

  • Previous experience in Space or Constellation Operations
  • Development and testing of new automated testing methodologies
  • Knowledge of requirements Management tools such as DOORS/Windchill/Jama
  • Demonstrated capability to efficiently work autonomously and with little to no supervision
