We offer full relocation support, including immigration assistance.

You may work remotely at first while your immigration process is being completed.

Long-term, the role will transition to onsite work in Montreal.

Role overview: We are seeking a Satellite Bus System Engineer to design structural, thermal, power distribution, attitude control, propulsion, CD&H;, TT&C;/PDT, FSW and interface architecture that supports payloads and mission-operations for current and next-generation remote sensing and communications satellites.

The role leads the definition, design, integration, verification and on-orbit support of the platform subsystems, ensuring compliance to mission requirements and companybest-practice processes.

Tasks summary: Architecture Concept & Requirements Translate missionlevel requirements (CONOPs, mass, volume, power, envelope, pointing, lifetime, redundancy, reliabilityetc.) into system requirements and allocate them to platform subsystems (structures, TCS, EPS, GNC, PROP, C&DH;, TT&C;/PDT, FSW).

Develop the Platform Architecture Description Document, Interface Control Documents (ICD) and Design Description.

Perform requirement management and maintain bidirectional traceability throughout the program life cycle.

Concept Trade & Feasibility Lead trade studies for structural approach, thermal control concepts (MLI, heat pipes, radiatorsetc.), power generation options (e.g. solar array & battery technologies).

Detailed Design Oversee detailed design of all major subsystems (structures, TCS, EPS, PROP, C&DH;, C&T;, GNC, payload interfaces).

Conduct failuremodeeffectsanalysis (FMEA) in support to FDIR,



faulttree analysis and reliability & availability predictions.

Ensure compliance with mission requirement and payload specifics.

Maintain platform level performance budgets Support FSW and Satellite Reference Database developments Cross

Functional Coordination, Stakeholder & Program Interaction Present technical status, risk analyses, and tradestudy results to senior management.

Negotiate and maintain ICDs with payload and all platform subsystems.

Support to DC & RF harness design, Platform and Payload layout.

Support B&P; (Phase 0 & pre-phase A).

Integration & Verification (IVV) Author verification plans, test matrices, and validation procedures for unit, subsystem, and platform level tests.

Coordinate, supervise or support: o Structural vibration, acoustic & shock testing o TCT & Thermal vacuum testing o Power distribution functional test o Closedloop test on avionic testbed Support FSW integration Technical Leadership & Mentorship Mentor, guide, lead a multidisciplinary team of junior or intermediate system engineers & interns Act as technical liaison with customers, partners and external vendors Act as Continuous Improvement stakeholder Contribute to company''s knowledgebase, process enhancements, and standards development.

Configuration,



Documentation & Standards Management Maintain platformwide standards (structural margin, thermalcontrol, powerbus architecture, redundancy philosophyetc.).

Ensure all artefacts, analysis, software, documentations and deliverables are version controlled in PLM setting.

Support design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, MRR/TRRetc.).

Support Technology Road

Mapping & Innovation Launch

Site, OnOrbit & Operations Support Support launchsite interface checklists with LVI responsible engineer, prelaunch checkout procedures, and earlyorbit checkout scripts.

Provide realtime platform engineering support during launch, onorbit commissioning, anomaly investigations and contingency operations.

Support SOOH development and associated operator training.

Required Qualifications: B.

Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace or Physics with 10 + years of system design experience on LEO/MEO/GEO platforms.

Deep knowledge of spacecraft bus subsystems and their interactions.

Experience with powerelectronics design and highprecision attitudecontrol hardware.
