Design electric propulsion subsystems for MDA Space satellites in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, using electrical power, thermal, and mission-performance analysis. As a Satellite Electrical Propulsion System Engineer, you will define, design, integrate, and verify EP subsystems for remote sensing and communications satellites. Your work covers thrusters, power-processing units, propellant feed systems, control electronics, and health monitoring. You may serve as technical authority across multiple programs while coordinating requirements, interfaces, testing, and operations support. Key Responsibilities:
Translate mission goals into electric propulsion system requirements Analyze power, thermal, mass, reliability, and contamination budgets Define thruster, PPU, feed-system,
and control interfaces Develop verification plans, test matrices, and validation procedures Oversee hardware-in-the-loop and thrust-stand testing Requirements:
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace, or Physics 10+ years of electrical propulsion experience on LEO/MEO platforms Knowledge of EP thruster families and performance characteristics Experience designing propellant storage and feed systems English communication skills and French considered an asset Apply electrical propulsion, systems engineering, and verification expertise to MDA Space satellite missions in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue.
