- Assemble and test Engineering models and EGSE configurations.
- Contribute to requirements definition and ensure technical ownership across IRD, ICD and specification development.
- Support Projects needs through FMECA activities.
- Support project needs in terms of power budgets and link budgets.
- Conduct testing, debugging and validation of I2C, SPI, UART and Ethernet interfaces.
- Support RF subsystem activities including radio technology selection and regulatory discussions.
- Support FPGA development tasks using Xilinx tools.
- Contribute to rover documentation in regard to avionics and electronics architectures and diagrams.
- Perform additional avionics engineering tasks as required by project need
KEY REQUIREMENTS
- Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering or a related field. A Master’s degree is preferred.
- Strong hands-on experience with laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, DMMs and spectrum analyzers.
