Lead Project System Architect (SmallSats)
As a System Architect, you will serve as the formal Design Authority for the mission-level technical decisions that power our spacecraft missions and ground segment infrastructure. You will bridge mission-level goals and technical execution, leading the end-to-end lifecycle of our SmallSat platforms. Beyond technical leadership, you will play a central role in strategic decisions, acting as the technical conscience of our missions to ensure high-reliability standards while defining the future of our modular satellite platforms and supporting our growth across the space and science sectors.
KEY RESPONSABILITIES
● Lead the technical aspects of proposal generation, contract negotiations, and risk management (FMEA/FDIR), acting as the primary arbiter for mission-critical trade-offs.
● Act as the formal Design Authority for all mission-level technical decisions, maintaining the Verification Control Document (VCD) baseline throughout the mission lifecycle.
● Establish and evolve the system technical baseline from early definition through to launch, managing changes, anomalies, and non-conformances through formal configuration control.
● Orchestrate technical interdependencies across the entire mission ecosystem (Space, Ground, Launch, and User Segments), ensuring seamless interface compatibility and data flow.
● Own the creation and maintenance of mission-level technical interface documentation, spacecraft user manuals, and technical specifications, ensuring full alignment with flight procedures.
● Oversee requirement verification and coordinate AIT, AIV, and qualification activities at both system and subsystem levels, including launch campaign support.
