Satellite IVVQ RF Engineer

A Joint Venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), Thales Alenia Space is a global space manufacturer delivering, for more than 40 years, high-tech solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth Observation, environmental management, exploration, science and orbital infrastructures. Thanks to our diversity of skills, talents and cultures, our customers (governments, institutions, space agencies, telecommunications operators), therefore have Space to Connect, Secure & Defend, Observe & Protect, Explore, Travel & Navigate.

• Technical requirements management: define, maintain, and trace technical requirements for satellite systems (SAR, PDHT, TT&C), ensuring alignment with ECSS standards and project documents such as DDP and compliance matrices. Use DOORS or Polarion, manage traceability, change/deviation impact analysis, and produce associated documentation.
• Verification engineering: differentiate between qualification and acceptance plans, devise verification methods, manage verification control documents (VCD/DVCM) for SAR payload, PDHT, TT&C. Support internal and customer-facing boards (VCB) and co-engineer with project team and AIT to ensure complete verification data.
• Test requirements and evaluation: define test requirements, design test plans for integrated satellite level (SAR, PDHT, TT&C), manage changes, evaluate test results, draft evaluation reports, and support verification cycle closure. Participate in test campaigns (including overseas) and contribute to launch campaign test planning.

• Engineering degree.
• Experience in radio frequency systems for satellites, especially SAR, PDHT, and TT&C.
• Familiarity with ECSS verification and testing standards.
• Experience with DOORS, Polarion, and requirement traceability.
