Job Description šŸ‘Øā€šŸ’»Ā 

We are looking for an Electronics and Power system Architect to join the In-Orbit Servicing (IoS) team. This person will have to lead the electronics and power developments and architectures required for the Spacevanā„¢, a transportation vehicle dedicated to small satellites.

The current team is composed of several systems engineers and experts working mainly on the first mission of the Spacevanā„¢. You will be responsible for the development of the electronics and of the power architecture of the platform. This position covers a wide range of topics: boards design, manufacturing management and testing to the high-level design of the power and data system of the satellite. The work will be performed in close collaboration with the software development team and with the electronics engineers already at Exotrail.

At Exotrail, we are looking for talent willing to embrace a large scope of activities. This position requires candidates interested in developing their skills from deep technical tasks to project overview and management.

The Spacevanā„¢ relies on high performance electric propulsion and will require the capability to generate and handle a high power given its size. The most complex subsystems will be provided from specialized suppliers, but some in-house developed boards will be required. A high-performance power system is critical to provide a valuable service with the Spacevanā„¢.

Furthermore, evolutions of the Spacevanā„¢ are envisioned considering higher performance propulsion which will more power demanding, and iterations on the electronics of the vehicle are already considered.

The evolution of the role of the Electronics and Power system Architect can be to focus on design of new concepts, to take a managerial position or to move to production.

You will work directly with the VP of In-Orbit Services and with the Lead Engineer of the In-Orbit Services team
