Satellite System Engineer

Company Overview
Space Industries  is an innovative and fast-growing company specializing in the design, development, and integration of advanced solutions for micro, small, and nano satellites.
With a strong focus on technological excellence and mission success, Space Industries supports complex space programs by providing end-to-end system capabilities — from design and manufacturing to integration, testing, and operations.

Position Overview

As a  Satellite   System Engineer  at Space Industries, you will play a pivotal role in the  design, integration, and validation  of satellite systems and subsystems.
You will work across the full lifecycle of space missions — from concept design and requirements definition to verification, testing, and delivery — ensuring that all system-level interfaces and performances meet program objectives and ECSS standards.

This position requires strong engineering expertise, analytical skills, and the ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams in a high-technology aerospace environment.

Key Responsibilities

System Design & Requirements Management:
Define, analyze, and maintain system and subsystem requirements in compliance with mission objectives and customer specifications.

System Architecture & Integration:
Develop and maintain system-level architectures, ensuring coherent integration of payloads, platforms, and ground segments.

Technical Coordination:
Interface with subsystem leads (mechanical, electrical, software, thermal, AOCS, power) to guarantee consistency and performance across all disciplines.

Verification & Validation (V&V):
Define verification plans, manage test campaigns, and ensure traceability of requirements according to ECSS and internal standards.

Interface Control & Documentation:
Develop Interface Control Documents (ICDs), test procedures, and system-level specifications to ensure full traceability and compliance.

Modeling & Simulation:
Support system analyses (performance budgets, mass, power, and thermal models) and validate mission scenarios using simulation tools.

Reviews & Configuration Control:
Participate in design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, QR, AR), ensuring technical compliance, and maintain system configuration under control.

Risk & Performance Assessment:
Identify technical risks, propose mitigation actions, and monitor performance margins throughout the development cycle.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Work closely with Program Management, Quality Assurance, and AIT teams to ensure seamless integration and delivery of mission hardware.

Education:

Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.

Experience:

Minimum  5 years of experience  in system engineering or satellite mission design, preferably in aerospace or defense sectors.

Strong knowledge of  space systems engineering processes , including requirements flow-down, verification, and validation.

Familiarity with  ECSS standards , space project documentation, and mission lifecycle.

Proficiency in systems engineering tools (e.g., DOORS, Enterprise Architect, MATLAB, Simulink).

Experience with system modeling, budgeting (mass, power, thermal), and performance analysis.

Excellent problem-solving, communication, and coordination skills.

Fluent in English (written and spoken).

Driving license: category

B.

Preferred Qualifications
