Full job description

MDA-UK is looking for a Payload Systems Engineer to lead the design, integration and test of future RF payload and antenna systems for GEO and other environments.

You will work closely with various systems engineering groups internally and externally to the business, building a robust and informative trade analysis with a clear and well-structured set of conclusions and recommendations, including ground infrastructure, payload solutions and technology trade-offs.

Responsibilities

Lead an engineering project team by:
- Developing and maintaining technical plans defining scope, schedule, cost, resources, and risks, ensuring alignment across cross-functional delivery teams and upstream project leadership.
- Continuously assessing and forecasting technical performance against cost, schedule, risk, and resource baselines to enable timely decision-making and early mitigation.
- Leading cross-functional technical execution to deliver assigned scope on schedule, on budget, and to required technical and quality standards.
- Managing technical task budgets, cost forecasts, and schedule performance to ensure delivery within approved technical scope and baseline constraints.
- Defining, validating, and managing technical requirements to ensure scope is completed to specification while maintaining alignment with schedule, quality, and cost targets.
Guide the project systems engineering team in:
- Generation of systems level requirements, specifications and interface definitions.
- Performance of system design trade-offs.
- Analysis of system level performance requirements to allocated sub-system/component requirement.
- Development of system and satellite payload concept of operations and architecture with particular focus on the radio frequency and physical layer aspects.
- Development of requirements for antenna and on-board processing functions.
- Enabling technology maturation and risk reduction plans for critical system elements including ground infrastructure and satellite subsystems.
Conduct specification trade-off negotiations with customers, partners, engineers and working groups.
