Didcot, United Kingdom Hays Engineering Full time
Your new company
Are you ready to take your career to new heights in the space industry? Join a company with over 50 years of groundbreaking achievements and more than 450 successful missions. As a global leader in communications satellites, Earth and space observation, and space exploration, they turn ambitious visions into reality. You will be joining a team of global experts who are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible. With a strong (and rapidly growing) presence in the UK, this is a great opportunity to collaborate with top space industry players and specialise in advanced space sensors and communication technology. This company is at the forefront of innovation, working on cutting-edge projects that shape the future of space exploration.
Your new role
In your new role, you will act as a technical interface for customers and subcontractors, identifying and understanding their needs. You will capture and manage engineering requirements, developing innovative solutions to meet these needs. You will create and manage system budgets, such as power and mass budgets, and analyse performance to justify design decisions. You will oversee various engineering disciplines during design, integration, and testing, planning and executing test campaigns. You will troubleshoot hardware and software issues for space missions, analyse test data, and compile reports. Additionally, you will provide clear and thorough documentation and ensure the delivery of verified flight equipment that meets customer specifications.
What you'll need to succeed
As the successful candidate, you will be enthusiastic about space exploration, keen to solve complex challenges, and a committed team player who proactively shares knowledge, and you will bring over two years of experience in the design, manufacture, and testing of complex technological systems, with a background in optics, optical sensors, and opto-mechanical assemblies. You will be able to work both independently and as part of a team, demonstrating excellent written and oral communication skills. You will be familiar with formal configuration control methods and have knowledge of qualifications and acceptance of environmental testing. You will have experience of developing test specifications, plans, and procedures. Additionally, you will have experience with optic design software like Zemax or OpticStudio, including familiarity with ECSS standards, and experience working with systems designed for space environments. Ideally, you will also have experience with programming languages such as Python, MATLAB/C or C++, with hands-on experience in manufacturing, assembly, and testing. You will possess good analytical skills for identifying root cause issues, be able to define test cases to expose problems and develop robust solutions, and be flexible in understanding the need for change due to business re-focus. You will be willing to travel to other locations for project delivery, able to plan and execute assigned work on schedule, be detail-oriented, and able to clearly communicate tasks, schedules, and priorities with team members.
What you'll get in return
Employees receive competitive compensation and benefits packages at all locations. Team members and their qualified dependents can participate in a comprehensive benefit plan, which includes private healthcare, disability income protection, life insurance, a pension plan, and an employee assistance program. Additionally, a hybrid work model is in place to help support a better work/life balance, with the ability to work 2 days a week from home.
