This role requires a deep understanding of spacecraft systems and subsystems, as well as hands-on experience in producing test procedures, conducting various subsystem and system-level tests, and managing the entire AIT process.

Key Responsibilities
  • Satellite Assembly: Work on the assembly of satellite components, ensuring all mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems are correctly integrated and meet design specifications.
  • Integration Management: Manage the integration process of various subsystems, including payloads, propulsion systems, and communication systems, ensuring they function cohesively as a single unit.
  • Testing and Validation: Develop and execute comprehensive testing procedures, including functional, environmental, thermal, mechanical, and vibration tests, to validate satellite performance under operational conditions.
  • Test Procedure Development: Create detailed test and verification plans for various development stages, including subsystem and full spacecraft verification.
  • Troubleshooting and Debugging: Identify, diagnose, and resolve issues that arise during the integration and testing phases, utilizing a methodical approach to ensure all systems meet the required standards.
  • Documentation: Maintain detailed records of the assembly, integration, and testing processes, including test plans, results, and any deviations from standard procedures. Document any lessons learned and ensure compliance with industry standards.
  • Quality Assurance: Implement and uphold rigorous quality assurance protocols throughout the AIT process, ensuring the satellite meets all safety and performance criteria before launch.
  • Spacecraft Operations Support: Support spacecraft operations, including acceptance of spacecraft hardware (platform and payload), and participate in mission/service delivery as needed.
Fundamental Requirements
  • Educational Background: Advanced degree (MEng, MSc, or PhD) in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with a focus on satellite systems or space technology.
  • Industry Experience: Minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience in satellite assembly, integration, and testing within the aerospace industry, with experience in the build and test of spacecraft components and subsystems.
  • System-Level Understanding: Comprehensive understanding of satellite programs, preferably across the full project lifecycle.
  • Testing Experience: Proficiency in conducting a wide range of satellite tests, including thermal, vibration, mechanical, and functional tests, with experience in using environmental testing chambers, vibration tables, and MGSE/EGSE.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to produce clear, concise documentation and reports. Experience in presenting findings to multidisciplinary teams and interfacing with external clients.
  • Tool Proficiency: Familiarity with tools and software used in satellite assembly and testing, such as CAD tools for mechanical integration, electrical testing equipment, and test automation software.
  • Quality Focus: Strong understanding of quality assurance principles and experience implementing QA protocols in aerospace or similarly regulated industries.
  • Hands-On Approach: Willingness to be hands-on with the assembly and testing of satellite systems, including working in clean room environments and operating specialized testing equipment.
Additional Requirements
  • Attention to Detail: Meticulous attention to detail, particularly in assembling intricate satellite components and conducting precise testing procedures.
  • Team Collaboration: Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment, with experience coordinating with multidisciplinary teams to achieve project goals.
  • Flexibility and Adaptability: Ability to adapt to changing project requirements and timelines, with a proactive approach to managing multiple tasks and priorities in a dynamic environment.
  • Innovation and Initiative: A strong drive for innovation, with the ability to suggest improvements to existing processes and take initiative in solving complex engineering challenges.
  • Continuous Learning: Commitment to staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in satellite AIT and space technology, with a proactive approach to expanding knowledge and expertise.
