  We are a solution provider with its own SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite constellation.

  It constructs and operates a constellation through the development and operation of small SAR satellites generating and providing data. Using proprietary data analysis capabilities We offer datadriven solutions to various global challenges.

  The main business activities of Synspective include the operation of a satellite constellation through the development manufacturing and launch of small SAR satellites and related systems. This encompasses the sale of acquired data and the development and sale of data analysis solutions.

Roles and Responsibility

We are looking for a talented and motivated new colleague to join our Onboard Software Team. Our team is responsible for the design development testing and maintenance of the embedded software running inside our satellites. We are a small team where control engineers and embedded software engineers work closely together.

The Onboard Software Team is part of the Satellite System Development Dept. No1 which is responsible for the development of the satellite system.

Responsibility:

Satellite propulsion system analysis design testing and maintenance.

Details of work:

• Conduct mission analysis to size the thrusters and select appropriate suppliers.
• Integrate the thrusters into the satellites Concept of Operations (CONOPS): clarify the nominal operation modes safe modes etc.
• Work with other design teams (structure thermal avionics operations etc.) to integrate the thrusters in the satellite design.
• Assist the testing and validation of the thrusters during the satellites Assembly Integration and Testing (AIT) process.
• Design the flight software application to control the thrusters: nominal operation checkout/calibration Fault Analysis Isolation and Recovery (FDIR). etc.
• Work closely with the embedded software engineers to integrate the thruster control application into the rest of the flight software.
• Create and maintain simulation models of the thrusters to use in the simulation environment (Model In the Loop Simulation (MILS) Hardware In the Loop Simulation (HILS)).
• Take part in the launch campaign: design the checkout procedure and provide support to the Operation team to execute the checkout.
• After launch assist the operation team to monitor and maintain the propulsion system.
• Interact with the supplier to ensure that the correct components are delivered on time prepare the thruster operation follow up on any anomaly etc.

Selling points of this role:

• Great opportunity for growth as an engineer.
• See the complete lifecycle of a satellite from the early design to the launch and inorbit operation.
• Work in an international team.
• Take ownership of the propulsion system both at the hardware and software level.

Scope of change: Inside the Within the Satellite Development 1
