We are looking for multiple Optical or SAR Payload System Engineers on behalf of and in support to our client.
You will join a team that is involved with end-to-end reviewing and supervising of EO missions through appropriate engineering activities. Your tasks will include, but not be limited to:
- Manage the payload project to ensure that the optical payload is compatible with the satellite and mission requirements, which involves understanding, reviewing, and challenging the payload design. This will be done in collaboration with and support from the engineering team.
- Ensure consistent flow-down of requirements from mission and system towards the optical payload
- Ensure coordination of payload activities with project schedule
- Coordinate the definition of the payload interface requirements, between payload and other system elements, such as satellite platform, ground segment and the payload data processing facility
- Critical assessment of payload technical readiness levels
- Manage payload inputs to system design, technical budgets, and operations concepts
- Manage payload inputs to the AIV, commissioning and calibration plans
- Perform system-level estimates of optical performance and provide support to the satellite performance verification by ensuring the consistency of the Payload Performance Model
- Gather and provide inputs as needed by the payload subcontractor
- Stay abreast of new technologies and techniques
