Program Description

Airbus Defence & Space is working on a new satellite based communication system. The constellation of satellites will offer connectivity to the customer, allowing connecting elements through satellite RF and optical links.

The system consists of the space segment (two geostationary satellites) and the ground segment. The Ground Segment is composed by a part which allows the overall TC/TM exchange with the satellite, and a part which allows the monitoring and control of the Payload.

In order to actively monitor and control the Mission configuration for the communication chain a set of new tools is under development at Airbus DS.

Such tool will allow actively managing antenna parameters as well as payload and ground channels connectivity settings in order to reach the needed coverage and performances.

Task Description:

As a Mission Management Lead Engineer, you are responsible for the design, development, integration and validation of the System which will allow the Mission Management.

The System will be partly developed internally within the team and will be partly subcontracted to internal and external Subcontractors. The application to be developed consists of a set of SW Modules which allow the simulation, commanding ad monitoring of a cutting-edge Payload, as well as the overall traffic configuration. You will be in charge of contributing to the definition of overall System and Software requirements as well as performing general System Design, Mission IVV, Software Architecture tasks.

Your range of tasks will cover the entire System / Software Development lifecycle, from Requirements definition, System and Software Design and IVV. Your activities will be performed in close cooperation with the System Engineers, the SW Architect, the SW developers and the sub-contractors.

The holder of this position will be located at Ottobrunn and reports to the Project Chief Engineer.

Your tasks:

• Analyse customer requirements and lead the definition of the adequate System and Software Architecture, ensuring robustness and compatibility with the already existing software modules.
• Define System Design, with particular focus on the Payload and Traffic Models and their inclusion in the Software Architecture.
