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 #J-18808-Ljbffr
