Role:
We are is looking for qualified
Payload System Verification and Validation Engineers
to join our advanced satellite payload development team. This role focuses on system-level engineering of next-generation digital communications payloads, with a strong emphasis on
requirements verification through test
.
The selected candidate will contribute to the entire payload lifecycle — from architecture definition and requirement specification to integration, verification, and in-orbit validation. The role requires good understanding of both
digital signal processing
and
RF payload architectures
, especially involving
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.
Must haves
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
