Systems Engineer

Mbryonics is at the forefront of free space optical communications. Our product portfolio covers a wide range of emerging technologies from photonic integrated circuits to advanced optical systems and embedded software solutions. Our optical communications systems are integrated and deployed in satellite communications systems. Our work is exciting and challenging and is at the forefront of the technology domains.

Role:
You will play a fundamental role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our products: you will be responsible for planning, executing, and documenting validation activities at sub-component and system design and integration levels. This includes designing and executing systems design, requirements analysis, test plans, and preparing validation and verification procedures. You will also work closely with the product teams (Embedded Software, Electronics, Mechatronics, Photonics, Optics and Assembly-Integration-Test) and project managers to ensure that systems are appropriately specified and meet all relevant specifications and requirements. Our products and projects are for both space and terrestrial applications, requiring a high level of quality assurance and planning.

Responsibilities

Develop and execute design and validation plans for complex hardware and software systems

Design, develop, and execute test cases to validate system functionality, performance, reliability, and usability

Prepare comprehensive reports that clearly communicate design and validation, and analyse the performance and progress against requirements to report any issues

Stay up-to-date on industry trends, testing methodologies, and tools, while contributing to the improvement of systems and validation processes and procedures

Systems component identification, specification and selection suitable for aerospace/space deployment

Specification to relevant ISO/IEC/JEDEC standards, with specific reference to aerospace standards, including inclusion of new and emerging standards.

Creation and specification of power and communications link budgets for (sub)systems

Development of (sub)systems from prototype to aerospace-qualified products

Work closely with interdisciplinary mechanical, embedded, photonic and optical teams to design for mechanically and thermally constrained environments with strict optical requirements

Support and systems development for Design for Manufacture

Liaise with sponsors, contractors, satellite bus manufacturers, and sub-contractors for requirements collection and design specification and conformance.

Documentation and review of design, test & validation of (sub)system designs

Specification and verification of complex systems for tenders and bids, and on-going projects.

Willingness to participate with design engineering and test teams across diverse range of disciplines
