About the Role

We are seeking aSenior FDIR-FSW Systems Engineer to support the design, analysis, and verification of Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) systems for advanced LEO and MEO satellite programs. In this role, you will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop robust fault management strategies, analyze satellite systems and subsystems, and ensure flight software reliability through verification, validation, and testing. The ideal candidate has extensive experience with satellite flight software, systems engineering, and FDIR methodologies within mission-critical aerospace environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and analyzeFault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) strategies for satellite systems.
  • Perform systems engineering analysis for satellite platforms and subsystems.
  • Conduct failure analysis usingFMECA andFault Tree Analysis (FTA) methodologies.
  • Evaluate how failures propagate across system and subsystem levels.
  • Develop fault management strategies by tracing failures from system-level to unit-level components.
  • Support the design, verification, validation, and testing of satellite flight software (FSW) for FDIR.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure system reliability and mission success.
  • Contribute to system integration, testing, and operational readiness activities.
  • Apply industry standards and best practices for FDIR development and verification.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree inElectrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related engineering discipline.
  • 10+ years of relevant engineering experience (advanced degrees may be considered in lieu of some experience).
  • Experience supportingLEO and/or MEO satellite systems.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration and systems engineering experience.
  • Experience analyzing satellite systems and subsystems.
  • Familiarity withFailure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and/orFault Tree Analysis (FTA).
  • Strong understanding of failure propagation across complex systems.
  • Ability to decompose system-level failures to the unit level and evaluate their overall system impact.
  • Knowledge of satelliteFlight Software (FSW) and FDIR monitoring concepts.
  • Experience testing hardware and software components supporting FDIR functionality.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience withECSS-E-ST-70-41C standards.
  • Experience withPUS-based FDIR verification, validation, and testing.
  • Experience supporting satellite flight software development and mission assurance.
  • Familiarity with ESA standards and aerospace systems engineering best practices.
