Role:MDA is seeking a
Systems MTS, Satellite Missions to lead system-level engineering activitiesacross earth observation and remote sensing satellite programs.Working as part of a cross-functional, multi-disciplinary team, you will contribute to the development of end-to-end mission solutions, supporting the definition, design, integration, verification, and operations of complex space missionsand systems.
Responsibilities:As a Systems MTS, Satellite Missions, you may have a wide range of responsibilities that include:
- Working with customers and end users to understand mission needs and translate them into system requirements from mission level down to major subsystems (Bus, Payload, Ground Segment, Launch, Operations,etc)
- Drive mission design trade studies to define and develop overall mission architecture and subsystems
- Developing and generating key deliverables such as engineering plans, budgets, design reports, and operational concepts
- Performing mission analyses including link budgets, coverage analyses, geolocation accuracy, and pointing budgets
- Leading the developmentandmaintenance ofinterface control documents (ICDs) between major mission subsystems
- Reviewing subcontractor design material to ensure compliance with system requirements
- Developing spacecraft test procedures and supporting or overseeing their execution
- Leadingsystem-level verification activities across the mission
- Leading Development ofoperations procedures and products for on-orbit commissioning and routine mission operations
Required Experience:- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Systems Engineering, Engineering Physics, or Applied Mathematics
- 5-10 years of relevant experience in space systems or a related field
- Experience or knowledge in satellites and their applications, including optical or SAR remote sensing, spacecraft attitude control, orbit determination and maintenance, spacecraft systems (power and communications), flight software interfaces,orspacecraft operations
- Familiarity with tools such asMatlab, MS Excel, Systems Tool Kit (STK), and requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS, Windchill)
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Understanding of engineering lifecycle processes across complex programs
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a dynamic environment
