About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Satellite Systems Engineer to lead electrical systems engineering activities for satellite programs, with a focus on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions.

The successful candidate will define electrical system architecture, oversee subsystem interfaces, manage requirements and technical documentation, and lead verification and validation activities throughout the satellite lifecycle. This role also involves technical leadership, stakeholder coordination, subcontractor oversight, and support for launch and early operations. Senior Electrical Satellite Systems Engineer- JD.pdf

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a senior-level satellite systems engineer with deep electrical systems expertise, strong end-to-end lifecycle experience, and the ability to lead complex technical activities across design, integration, verification, and operations.

The ideal candidate combines systems-level thinking with practical engineering judgment, clear communication, and effective technical leadership. Senior Electrical Satellite Systems Engineer- JD.pdf

Key Responsibilities

System Design & Architecture

  • Define electrical system architecture supporting payload and satellite bus integration.
  • Manage system requirements, traceability, and technical documentation, including Concept of Operations (CONOPS).
  • Oversee interfaces among satellite subsystems, including avionics, electrical power, and Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS).
  • Coordinate system-level design activities to ensure compatibility across subsystems.

Analysis & Reliability

  • Conduct electrical power budgets and system-level analyses.
  • Perform failure mode and reliability analyses.
  • Develop and support Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) strategies.
  • Identify system risks and support technical trade-off decisions.

Verification & Validation

  • Lead system verification and validation (V&V) activities.
  • Develop verification strategies, test plans, and supporting documentation.
  • Support ground testing, including Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) and Electromagnetic Compatibility/Interference (EMC/EMI) testing.
  • Ensure verification activities address system requirements and interface performance.

Testing & Operations

  • Develop system-level test plans and procedures.
  • Support launch preparation, Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP), and Satellite Operations Control Centre (SOCC) activities.
  • Assist with troubleshooting and resolving system-level issues during testing and operations. Senior Electrical Satellite Systems Engineer- JD.pdf

Technical Leadership & Stakeholder Coordination

  • Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance to engineering teams.
  • Coordinate with stakeholders, subcontractors, and cross-functional engineering groups.
  • Lead and participate in design reviews, including:System Requirements Review (SRR) Preliminary Design Review (PDR) Critical Design Review (CDR)
  • Apply relevant engineering standards and practices, including ECSS and PUS-STD.

Project & Process Management

  • Oversee subcontractor activities and technical deliverables.
  • Track technical issues, risks, and project progress.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
