Payload System Verification and Validation Engineer for Fastwater Staffing
3 weeks ago
Role:
We are seeking qualified Payload System Verification and Validation Engineers to join a team dedicated to advanced satellite payload development. This role focuses on system-level engineering for next-generation digital communications payloads, with a particular emphasis on requirements verification through testing.
The engineer will be involved throughout the entire payload lifecycle—from architecture definition and requirements specification to integration, verification, and in-orbit validation. A solid understanding of both digital signal processing and RF payload architectures is essential, particularly in relation to Software Defined Radio (SDR) and Direct Radiating Array (DRA) systems.
Tasks:
- Define, analyze, and validate system and subsystem requirements for digital telecommunications payloads.
- Develop and execute verification plans, including defining test strategies, writing test procedures, and analyzing results.
- Lead or support system-level payload test campaigns, both at equipment and spacecraft level.
- Interface with payload hardware and software teams to ensure correct implementation and traceability of requirements.
- Participate in technical reviews and support anomaly investigation and resolution.
- Work with multi-disciplinary teams including RF, digital, embedded software, FPGA, and systems engineering.
- Contribute to technology evolution by identifying opportunities for design optimization and innovation.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- 5 years+ of experience in telecommunications systems, particularly in digital payloads. (experience outside of the Space industry will also be considered)
- Strong expertise in requirements verification by test, including practical experience in developing and executing test plans.
- Solid understanding of digital payload architectures, including SDR-based flexible processors and beamforming using DRA.
- Familiarity with hardware and software tools used in payload verification, such as:
- Vector Network Analyzers (VNA) and Spectrum Analyzers for RF testing
- Baseband signal generators, Channel Emulators, and BER testers
- Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW for test automation and data analysis
- SCPI, VISA, and similar interfaces for instrument control
- Good understanding of FPGA-based systems and embedded software architectures is a plus.
- Must be eligible to work in Canada, capable of obtaining necessary security clearance.
Complementary Skills/Knowledge:
- Previous experience in Space or Constellation Operations
- Development and testing of new automated testing methodologies
- Knowledge of requirements Management tools such as DOORS/Windchill/Jama
- Demonstrated capability to efficiently work autonomously and with little to no supervision
- Written and verbal communications skills in English, knowledge of French will be considered favorably
