Role:  We are is looking for qualified Payload System Verification and Validation Engineers to join our advanced satellite payload development team. This role focuses on system-level engineering of next-generation digital communications payloads, with a strong emphasis on requirements verification through test. The selected candidate will contribute to the entire payload lifecycle — from architecture definition and requirement specification to integration, verification, and in-orbit validation. The role requires good understanding of both digital signal processing and RF payload architectures, especially involving Software Defined Radio (SDR) and Direct Radiating Array (DRA) systems. Tasks • Define, analyze, and validate system and subsystem requirements for digital telecommunications payloads. • Develop and execute verification plans, including defining test strategies, writing test procedures, and analyzing results. • Lead or support system-level payload test campaigns, both at equipment and spacecraft level. • Interface with payload hardware and software teams to ensure correct implementation and traceability of requirements. • Participate in technical reviews and support anomaly investigation and resolution. • Work with multi-disciplinary teams including RF, digital, embedded software, FPGA, and systems engineering. • Contribute to technology evolution by identifying opportunities for design optimization and innovation.   Must haves • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. • 5 years+ of experience in telecommunications systems, particularly in digital payloads. (experience outside of the Space industry will also be considered) • Strong expertise in requirements verification by test, including practical experience in developing and executing test plans. • Solid understanding of digital payload architectures, including SDR-based flexible processors and beamforming using DRA. • Familiarity with hardware and software tools used in payload verification, such as: • Vector Network Analyzers (VNA) and Spectrum Analyzers for RF testing • Baseband signal generators, Channel Emulators, and BER testers • Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW for test automation and data analysis • SCPI, VISA, and similar interfaces for instrument control • Good understanding of FPGA-based systems and embedded software architectures is a plus. • Must be eligible to work in Canada, capable of obtaining necessary security clearance.  Complementary skills/knowledge • Previous experience in Space or Constellation Operations • Development and testing of new automated testing methodologies • Knowledge of requirements Management tools such as DOORS/Windchill/Jama • Demonstrated capability to efficiently work autonomously and with little to no supervision • Written and verbal communications skills in English, knowledge of French will be considered favorably
