Job Description
OBDH (On-board Data Handling) Sub-System Lead Engineer
We are seeking an electronics engineer from the space sector who has experience of Several years experience of FPGA design using VHDL along with OBDH (On-board Data Handling) systems for spacecraft
Key Purpose Of Job
An exciting opportunity to make a difference and deliver highly innovative On-board Data Handling (OBDH) solutions for spacecraft missions. This role has responsibility for undertaking the design, analysis, development, verification and delivery of OBDH systems into the mission, including but not limited to on board computer, data recorders, payload interface units and associated test hardware.
You will be involved on a mission right from concept through to launch, commissioning and operational life; a true cradle to grave experience and will give you the chance to see your work in Space in a rapid timescale! This key role will often sit within the core team of a satellite mission interacting with other technical leads across multiple disciplines to generate the technical solutions for innovative projectsKey Tasks
Primary role will be OBDH sub-system role working with project core team and/or product owners within the matrix structure with projects - Typical duties include:
Evaluation of mission requirements, derive subsystem requirements, and generate verification plans
Define OBDH sub-system architecture and interfaces to other sub-systems with internal/external products including trade offs.
Responsible for the delivery of all aspects of the defined/delegated package of work which includes, Technical Solution, Budget and Schedule via interaction with other product owners
Work closely in a core project team, providing technical support to project managers, suppliers, and customers with regular interactions/reporting.
