Key Responsibilities
  • Project Preparation Phase
    • Support the customization phase from project kick-off.
    • Participate in DMU (Digital mock-up/design for manufacture) sessions to ensure design for manufacture.
    • Develop documentation required for production phases, including ACS inputs, work instructions, and procedures.
    • Lead the installation of satellite appendages and applicable integration flows and preparation.
    • Support the definition of MGSE for use on the satellite and support procurement activities.
    • Support Process Owner team in all aspects of their role.
  • Project Operational Phase
    • Support the AIT Lead Engineering team during periods of high workload.
    • Support process owners with observation resolution and operational activities.
    • Oversee unit installation activities on the satellite.
    • Support quality reviews, conduct PFMEA and Root Cause Analysis.
    • Develop re-work instructions based on project requirements and identify parts and tooling required to carry them out.
  • Non-Project Activities
    • Design tooling/build aids for assembly execution.
    • Support R&D activities.
    • Develop and maintain training modules.
    • Ensure that working modes and processes are standardized, optimized, and current.
Requirements
  • Essential Skills

    • Good problem-solving skills (technical, logistics, and organizational).
    • Good planning skills and process competence (MRP system experience an advantage).
    • Good communication skills, both written and verbal.
    • Appreciation of satellite integration processes and project phases.
    • Experience with satellite appendage installation processes (solar array, reflectors, antennas, deployable systems).
    • Good understanding and detailed experience of complex mechanical systems.
    • Lean manufacturing techniques, including 5S, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement.
    • Prepare and carry out environmental tests (vibration, acoustic, mass properties, thermal) at unit, subsystem, instrument, and spacecraft level.
    • Handling and installation of thermal hardware (heaters, thermistors).
    • Mechanical integration of electronic units, subsystems, and instruments, mechanisms, antennas, solar arrays, mechanical sub-systems, instruments, payloads, and spacecraft, and control the documentation/process associated with performing these.
    • Previous experience of payload builds is a distinct advantage.
