The role requiresgood understanding of both digital signal processing and RF payload architectures, especiallyinvolving Software Defined Radio (SDR) and Direct Radiating Array (DRA) systems. TASK Define, analyze, and validate system and subsystem requirements for digitaltelecommunications payloads.

Develop and execute verification plans, including defining test strategies, writing testprocedures, and analyzing results.

Lead or support system-level payload test campaigns, both at equipment and spacecraftlevel.

Interface with payload hardware and software teams to ensure correct implementation andtraceability of requirements.

Participate in technical reviews and support anomaly investigation and resolution.

Work with multi-disciplinary teams including RF, digital, embedded software, FPGA, andsystems engineering.

Contribute to technology evolution by identifying opportunities for design optimization andinnovation. MUST HAVE 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 indeveloping and executing test plans.

Solid understanding of digital payload architectures, including SDR-based flexibleprocessors 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 Valuable understanding of FPGA-based systems and embedded software architectures is aplus.

Must be eligible to work in Canada, capable of obtaining necessary security clearance.
