**Systems Engineer - Small Satellite Missions**
**Join our team and build the furure of space technology**
**What you will be doing?**
- Supporting the definition and consolidation of mission requirements (MRD) and system requirements (SRD) in alignment with customer needs and mission objectives.
- Designing and iterating mission architectures, ensuring subsystem compatibility, scalability, and alignment with performance, cost, and risk constraints.
- Developing and maintaining the Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and defining operational modes (OpModes) to guide system behavior across mission phases.
- Performing subsystem trade-off analyses to support selection and procurement of mission-specific equipment, both commercial and custom-developed.
- Supporting launcher selection, including assessment of mechanical and electrical interface compatibility, volume constraints, and environmental requirements.
- Supporting the definition and implementation of the system-level verification approach, including the creation and management of a Requirements Verification Matrix (RoD).
- Coordinating closely with other internal teams—Mission Analysis, Communications & Data Handling, and Mechanical—to ensure system integration and coherence.
- Acting as the technical focal point for assigned missions, interfacing with internal stakeholders, customers, and external partners throughout the project lifecycle. Supporting commercial activities through technical inputs to proposals, in collaboration with the Product Owner, contributing to solution design and feasibility assessments.
