Senior Systems Engineer

About Us
We are EnduroSat! A fast-growing space scale-up at the forefront of satellite innovation, specializing in advanced software-flexible satellites for commercial, governmental, and scientific missions. Our goal is to make space universally accessible by offering streamlined space service.

What is the role?
As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will play a crucial role in customer communications, evaluating and negotiating technical proposals, and providing expert guidance on complex engineering solutions. Your ability to communicate complex technical requirements, starting from high-level customer vision and refining them into actionable, testable features, will be essential to the success of our projects.

Some of your daily tasks will include:

• Provide high-level oversight of satellite system design, ensuring all subsystems are integrated effectively.
• Decompose and refine requirements, bridging the gap between customer vision and technical execution.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for customers, facilitating technical discussions and negotiations.
• Oversee the validation and verification of systems and ensure compliance with mission objectives.
• Drive continuous improvement in systems engineering processes and methodologies.

What do you need?

• BSc or MSc degree in aerospace engineering, electronics, computer science, or a related field.
• 8+ years experience in the design and development of nanosats and/or smallsats.
• Deep knowledge of satellite systems, including subsystems such as communication, power, and propulsion.
• Expertise in setting and decomposing requirements across different domains of expertise.
• Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and effectively, including through graphical representations (schematics, sequences, state diagrams).
• Professional experience in writing and managing technical requirements.

How to stand out?

• Proficiency in engineering software and tools for satellite design and analysis, e.g., SolidWorks.
• Experience analyzing and optimizing mission budgets (e.g., power, link, delta-V).
• Proficiency with orbit simulation tools (e.g., STK, GMAT).
• Experience with Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA).
• Working knowledge of programming languages such as C/C++ or Python.
• Familiarity with UML/SysML for system modeling.
• Strong project and risk management skills.
• Experience using Atlassian tools (Jira/Confluence).
