Overview
In this role you will contribute to the design and validation of the Data Handling Subsystem for high-profile space missions. You will work within the DHS team to define OBC, RTU and MMU interfaces, and ensure reliable on-board processing and communications. You will engage across multi-disciplinary teams to deliver robust avionics solutions for missions like LISA, GAM, and LightShip-1. This is a chance to influence critical space infrastructure and work in an international, mission-driven environment.
Responsabilità
- Contribute to the design and specification of the DHS and its units (OBC, RTU, MMU)
- Define electrical and communication interfaces between DH units and system avionics
- Specify and validate DH communication protocols (MIL1553, CAN, SpaceWire, TTEthernet, RS232/RS442/RS485, SPI, I2C)
- Assist in procurement of DH subsystems and units via subcontractors
- Support integration and test (AIT) of the DH subsystem with system avionics
- Define and specify DH Test Benches for Processor In the Loop (PIL), Hardware In the Loop (HIL) and Closed Loop tests
- Support requirements verification and resolve non-conformities
- Contribute to technical and managerial meetings and formal reviews with the Customer
